"I am a firm believer in trusting highly deployed open source solutions to be more secure, and more responsive to problems than proprietary solutions. Prior to my arrival, the department and the City of Charlottesville was 100 percent Microsoft. Since then, we began a campaign to increase security, save money and address the needs of management. We chose to standardize on Red Hat as our core open source distribution."

"Open source allows us the opportunity to have a proactive and pre-emptive identification of security holes by friendly analysis. As a result, this early identification and rapid repair of security vulnerabilities has become a major advantage of open source over proprietary approaches to software development."
