Linux in your home

There is no reason you should have to pay upwards of $300.00 for an operating system on your computer just to browse the web and send a few emails. Linux offers you all the functions of Microsoft Windows without the cumbersome price tag.

In-house installation

We will come to your home and install Linux on your computer either as a stand-alone system or as an additonal option when you turn on your computer. This way you can choose each time if you want Linux or Windows. Many Windows-based software applications can also be configured to run on your Linux system. That means you may not even have to restart if you want to use a certain Windows application. We will also move over all your personal data from Windows to Linux.

You will get a two hour tutorial to familiarize you with your new operating system. In addition you will get two weeks of telephone and e-mail support, and one free in-house support visit, should you really need it. See below for our extended support options.

Our pricing plan:

One in-home installation with tutorial and support$99.00
Additional computers up to three$12.50per computer
Additional computers over three$7.50per computer

Our lifetime guarantee

If you suffer defect, data loss, system failure or chronic system instability during day–to–day use of your computer, HeliOS Solutions will come to you to fix the problem and recover your lost data for free.

That’s right. We are confident that our systems will not break. Of course, there are a few rules attached to this guarantee:

  • This guarantee is valid as long as you own the system that we installed Linux on. You do not need to buy an extended support plan.
  • Due to travel costs we can only offer this guarantee to computers still in the Austin-Metro or Central California Coast area.
  • This guarantee does not apply if you run as “root” (sometimes known as “Administrator”) all the time. Linux systems are designed to run as a normal user, not as “root”. You can still use the “root” user to install new software or updates, but you should not use it for your day–to–day computing.
  • Hardware failure is not covered by this guarantee. After all, we are installing Linux on your hardware, not our hardware.
