!DIY: Do It Yourself
Overall, setting up an Internet resource provider isn't that expensive. A mixture of OpenBSD and Linux can make older workstations into perfect servers and keep initial startup costs extremely low. Using existing hardware and 100% open source software, we kept our startup costs under $8,000 and -- even using brand new systems -- easily stayed under $15,000. Also, by dropping fiber into a home business, your home office becomes a business expense with the added benefit of Mb speeds at home!ø
