Why isn’t there ever any advertisements for open source software?

How come we never see any commercials or bus ads for open source software? You can’t argue with FREE. I was thinking about advertising Open Office at my college the other day. If I were to put an ad for OpenOffice 3 on a billboard, would I get in trouble? Someone needs to build awareness of the existence of open source alternatives.
OpenOffice 3 – Another reason to tell Microsoft to suck it.

This is going on the billboard (if I can get away with it)

I thought PHP was an opensource coding language?

I’m confused. On some places it says that php can only be installed on linux servers, not windows.

But, if that is true, how can scripts witten in PHP then be used on windows servers?

I don’t understand…

Can Open source software be used for corporate use?

Hello all. I was wondering if open source software can be used for corporate use. Does anyone know if there are any limitations? I am sending a request list of some open source software to the IT help desk for the corporation I work for to approve, but they mentioned that I needed to make sure it was okay for corporate use first. That seemed to imply that not all open source software was available for corporate use but would be for the user. Anyone know for sure?

Can I make a good website for a hotel with Joomla or Mambo?

I made a site once with a free hosting addyour.net and had free MySQL server so I tried it..made a cool site as something to try but now since it’s down… It’s gone. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how difficult it’d be for me to make a website using OpenSource Software for a small hotel….

Do you think it’s do-able? or do I need more skills?

Ty!
