Call us now! We are happy to visit you and demonstrate Linux.
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. However, that may be unnecessary as Linux applications will more than adequately do the job. A full office suite, music, photo and video applications and dozens of programs that you pay for in Windows are included. All free of cost and license restrictions. 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 | $ | 12.50 | per computer |
| Additional computers over three | $ | 7.50 | per computer |
Extended support
If you think you need more that two weeks support for your Linux installation, you can get one of our extended support plans:
| Three months telephone and e-mail support | $ | 60.00 |
| Six months telephone and e-mail support | $ | 90.00 |
| One year telephone and e-mail support plus one support visit | $ | 150.00 |
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.
- We cannot be responsible for the stability of your system if you go outside of your package manager to install software. The package manager comes with thousands of applications that we support, but if you bring in applications from outside that list and install them and it results in a broken system, we cannot be held responsible for that. If you desire an application that is not available via synaptic or your package management system, email us and we will help you get it installed.
- Hardware failure is not covered by this guarantee. After all, we are installing Linux on your hardware, not our hardware.
