Linux Operating System
If you're a looking for a new PC, you may be interested in considering a low-cost yet high-quality alternative to Microsoft Windows known as Linux; an operating system first started in 1991 as a hobby by a young student named Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
Since then, thousands of individuals and companies have both contributed to and benefited from Linux to make it one of the most stable and full-featured operating systems available.
- Free - Thousands of programmers around the globe contribute their work for free.
- Open Source - the source code for the programs are available for anyone to review and alter as they see fit.
- Free - as in freedom. Because of the licence that the Linux source code is available, you are entitled to use, view, modify, copy and redistribute however you like.
- Stable - Linux-based systems are chosen as the basis for software on many systems such as servers, security systems, and home electronic devices.
- Powerful - Linux is used to power organizations such as Google, Wikipedia, the US National Security Agency, YouTube and Pixar Animation Studios. All three "Shrek" movies were made with Linux!
- Mature - almost 2 decades of development work and millions of man hours have gone into coding, testing and releasing different versions of Linux. This effort continues every day.
- Customizable - as Linux has grown in popularity, people with different tastes have taken advantage of the open-source nature to customize it to something more appealing to them. They have in turn offered their efforts back for other people to use.
