If you need an all-new system to act as an additional server, or as a sophisticated desktop for a power user, we can install it and configure it to meet your precise needs. You can choose your favourite Linux distribution, or have us recommend one for you. The system will be built with exactly the services and packages you need, and will be supplied ready to go into immediate service.

A very popular application for Linux is in small web servers, and Altrux can readily supply a cost-effective, high performance web server for your business needs. These servers use Apache, the open source package that currently runs around 60% of the world's web sites.

As well as building you a secure and reliable server, we can also help you create the web site itself. Alastair Stevens, the founder of Altrux Solutions, has over 5 years of experience in web design and HTML coding, and we can create an attractive, standards-compliant site to make your organisation stand out.

Once a Linux system is installed and configured, it will generally run and run without any problems at all, during normal usage. It is not uncommon for a system to stay up for a year without rebooting. However, problems do occasionally arise, especially when you want to upgrade or modify the setup of your machines. We are here to help, and can offer an effective troubleshooting service to keep everything running smoothly. Call us for advice, should you run into difficulties.

Linux is an extremely secure system when configured correctly, but as with any other platform, new exploits are discovered all the time, and it's important to keep your systems up to date. We can save you a lot of effort, by carrying out regular security audits of your servers, recommending changes, and installing package upgrades when they are released by distribution vendors.

Altrux primarily focuses on Linux, but we can also offer consulting services for other platforms. These inevitably include Microsoft Windows, but also FreeBSD, another powerful and highly capable free UNIX system, with a distinguished heritage. As with Linux, we can perform custom installations, troubleshooting, and upgrades. We can also provide help with PC hardware and basic networking.
