What are the benefits of Linux (or)
Advantages of Linux
Linux can give you:
•
A modern, very stable, multi-user, multitasking
environment.
•
Advanced graphical user interface. Linux uses a
standard, network-transparent X-windowing system with a "window
manager" (typically KDE or GNOME but several are available).
•
The graphical
desktop under Linux can be made to look like MS Windows (or probably ANY other
graphical user interface of your choice).
•
Dozens of excellent, free, general-interest desktop
applications. These include a range of web browsers, email programs, word processors, spreadsheets, bitmap and vector graphics editing programs, file
managers, audio players, CD writers, some good games, typing tutor, etc.
•
Freedom from viruses. Linux has no viruses because
it is too secure an operating system for the viruses to spread with any degree
of efficiency.
•
Linux is quite positively here-to-stay because of
its open-source nature (Linux cannot possibly be put out-of-business). It is a
standard selected for countless projects that are not going to go away, and
some of them are quite "mission-critical." Try the International
Space Station, for which Linux is the operating system
