Benefits of using Linux
|
 |
o A modern, very stable, multi-user, multitasking environment on your inexpensive PC hardware, at no (or almost no) monetary cost for the software. Out-of-box Linux has as much capability as MS Windows NT with $4000 in software add-ons, is more stable, and requires less powerful hardware for comparable tasks.
o Standard platform. Linux is VERY standard--it is essentially a POSIX compliant UNIX. (Yes, Linux is a best-of-the-breed UNIX. The word "UNIX" is not used in conjunction with Linux because "UNIX" is a registered trademark.) Linux includes all the UNIX standard tools and utilities.
