Professional Linux Support for Individual Users and Businesses

Caterham Computing specialises in providing expert Linux support, offering a perfect solution for individuals and businesses alike. Whether you’re looking to make the switch from Windows or macOS for privacy and security reasons, or want to extend the lifespan of an older PC, Caterham Computing is here to help you make the most of the powerful and flexible Linux operating system.

With nearly 30 years of experience working with UNIX and Linux, Caterham Computing provides expert guidance on installing, configuring, and optimising Linux systems for both personal and professional use.


Linux for Privacy and Security

More and more people are making the switch to Linux from Windows and macOS due to growing concerns about privacy and data security. Linux offers a more secure and transparent environment, giving users control over their data and minimising the risk of unwanted tracking.

  • Secure and Open Source: Linux is an open-source platform, meaning the source code is publicly available and continuously reviewed by security experts around the world. This makes it inherently more secure and reduces the risk of hidden vulnerabilities.
  • Privacy First: Linux is built with privacy in mind, offering a secure environment free from the data collection practices common on other operating systems.

Migrating from Windows and macOS

If you’re considering a move away from Windows or macOS, Caterham Computing provides personalised support to help make the transition seamless. Migrating to Linux can be a powerful solution, especially for users who are looking for greater privacy and security without sacrificing usability.

  • Easy Transition: Caterham Computing offers tailored guidance on how to move your files, applications, and data from your existing operating system to Linux, ensuring minimal disruption.
  • Familiar Tools: Many familiar applications, such as web browsers, productivity tools, and multimedia software, are readily available on Linux. Caterham Computing can help you find the right alternatives if needed, ensuring you stay productive after migrating.

Extend the Life of Your Old PC with Linux

One of the greatest advantages of Linux is its ability to run efficiently on older hardware, breathing new life into outdated computers. By switching to a lightweight Linux distribution, users can significantly extend the useful lifespan of their PC without having to invest in new hardware.

  • Optimised for Performance: Unlike newer versions of Windows or macOS that require high system resources, Linux can run smoothly on older PCs, making it an ideal choice for users looking to extend the life of their hardware.
  • Customised for Your Needs: Whether you’re using a high-performance machine or a legacy device, Caterham Computing will help you choose and install the right Linux distribution to suit your system and requirements.

  • Performance Enhancements: System optimisations improve speed and efficiency, especially on older hardware, by configuring settings and removing unnecessary applications.
