Flip sponsors Linux user group
Flip Media announces that they're now the corporate sponsors of UAE Linux Group. Congrats to the Linux group.
As far as I know, Flip is a very Mac-heavy place, with some Flippers being on the site and in EMUG too. And since Macs are so heavily used in Flip's industry, the question of whether EMUG would have been a more obvious choice arises.

Re: Flip sponsors Linux user group
Hi Magnus
Like you said Flip has heavy mac users . One such is myself. But our application deployment platform is Linux. To be more specific RHEL and Centos.
In recent times Flip made a good choice of moving out from M$ which cost us lot of $ for licensing and with less trouble ( free from virus). 40 to 50 percent of our technical team already using Ubuntu as their operating system.
Apple is doing wonderful with their line of products and software. They are already capturing the market at a good pace. Now I can see so many malls having macs. Emirates mac group has done a wonderful job in creating the awareness and providing support.
Linux has a long way to go. It can be useful for corporate and normal users in the days to come. Flip has benefited greatly from open source and probably they think it is time to contribute back to the community.
Cheers

I think I can safely say on behalf of all Mac fans here on the site that we wish you all the best with the group.
