The Linux Box

The Linux BoxTM Corporation specializes in providing high quality, customized open source software services. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

The Linux Box is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan and founded in 1999. Their site is linuxbox.com.

Before you commit, look at portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with The Linux Box, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
