“Regardless of what computer platform you use, what model it is,
or even how old it is, the program you interact with the most is
the operating system….”
“The third operating system of the future is Linux, which is
freely available for download all across the Internet, or available
in a pre-configured CD format for a nominal fee. Created in 1991,
Linux is derived from Unix, but has blossomed into an operating
system that is growing exponentially in both functionality and
number of users.”
“System administrators and Internet service providers often
favor Linux, because it has tremendous server capabilities and
legendary reliability. Because the source code has been freely
available for 9 years, lots of improvements have been made that
have allowed it to become more mainstream.”
