Welcome to Cornerstone Computer Solutions in the beautiful city of Gold Bar, WA. I have dedicated this website as an additional source for information for the various Linux and BSD based operating systems for the people of Snohomish County, WA and the surrounding area. Cornerstone Computer Solutions strongly advocates the use of Open Source software and a BSD/*nix clone operating systems.

We are also here to assist you in migrating from that proprietal operating system to an open source operating to fulfill your personal and business needs.

Slackware 14.2 (Slackware 15.0 RC1 - Development Release on 16 Aug 2021),Linux Mint 20.2, Kali Linux 2021.2 Mate, Debian 11, FreeBSD 13.0, Arch Linux 2021.09.01, DragonFly BSD 6.0, GhostBSD 21.04.27, Devuan 3.1.0, and OpenBSD 6.9 are also available!

Do you now want to switch to a document or web server running a particular Linux or BSD distro? Are you just curious about Linux or BSD?

You say you don't like those viruses, spyware, malware, and trojans! Are you looking for more than just the current proprietal operating systems out there in the marketplace today? Using a BSD/Unix clone distribution (commonly called a "distro") and Open Source software, you can --- and will --- be more productive! With Linux, or BSD and open source software you can have that peace of mind your looking for in getting the most productivity for your business!

If you don't like the look (or Graphical User Interface (GUI) of one particular Linux or BSD distro, you can always choose another GUI, or for that matter, you can change the distro, or if you choose you can actually run a Linux or BSD system without ANY GUI. It is flexible as a Linux and BSD distro gives you many choices to choose from!

Linux and BSD has evolved greatly, so if you are one of those who hasn't checked it out lately, now is the time!

If you are new to a Linux or BSD operating system, did you know you can even try some Linux or BSD distros without even installing it onto the hard drive by just running the Linux or BSD operating system right off the CD or DVD itself!

Your Linux or BSD system is ideal for a business configured as a server. It can also be a nice desktop for home or office or even be configured in a minimal configuration for use such as a firewall box. Your Linux or BSD system has been designed to do work from the start and even has networking capabilities built in to the system!

Your Linux or BSD system is a great as, a web server, a database server, a document server, managing programming projects, browsing the World Wide Web, or creating various types of documents.

You can do anything you currently do with your current operating system in a Linux or BSD distro - you just have to use a different program in your particular Linux or BSD distro to do it. Using a Linux or BSD/open source operating system is more cost effective than proprietal operating systems currently on the market! For the business minded, because it is more cost effective in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), the results for your company mean more profit for you not having to pay for those license fees!

For the people new to Linux, we recommend Linux Mint 20.2 Mate. For those new to BSD, we recommend FreeBSD 13.0

If you feel "frisky" and feel the urge to "get under the hood" of a similiar *nix clone type operating system, checkout OpenBSD 6.9 at their website - www.openbsd.org or Slackware Linux 14.2 at their website - www.slackware.com
