Why use Linux?
Linux it is the only operating system today that's freely available to provide multitasking capabilities for multiple users on IBM PC-compatible hardware platforms. No other operating system gives you these same features with the power that Linux enjoys. Linux also separates you from
the marketing whims of the various commercial providers. You aren't locked into upgrading every few years and paying great sums to update all your applications. Many applications for Linux are freely available on the Internet, just as the source code to Linux itself is available on the Internet. Thus, you have access to the source code to modify and expand the operating system to your needs - something you can't do with commercial operating systems such as Windows NT, Windows 95, MS-DOS, and OS/2. Freedom from commercial vendors is also a potential downside to using Linux. Because no single commercial vendor supports Linux, getting help isn't just a phone call away. Linux can be finicky and may or may not run properly on a wide range of hardware. The potential to damage or delete data files residing on your system also exists because Linux is constantly changing and doesn't go through a rigorous testing process before it's released.
Linux isn't a toy; it's a system designed to give users the feeling of tinkering with a new project, just like in the beginning of the PC revolution, However, Linux is relatively stable on many systems and presents you with an inexpensive opportunity to learn and use one of the most popular operating systems on the world today - UNIX. Many CD-ROM vendors and software companies now support the Linux operating system. Linux provides a low-cost introduction to one of the most popular operating systems in the world - UNIX. Linux also provides you with easy access to the Internet and the rest of the information super-highway.
