Linux:
“Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect!”
(Linus Torvalds in a New York Times Interview)

L inux is a powerful, non-

proprietary and totally
free operating system
that is currently the fast-
est growing computer operat-
ing system on the planet. Linux
offers speed, performance,
stability, and reliability that
surpass that of commercial Ex-
pensive operating systems. It contains all the fea-
tures required of modern desktop PCs, corporate
file servers, firewalls, routers, and Internet servers.
Although Linux was originally designed for PC uses
only, it has ‘spread’ into small multimedia devices
like pagers and communicators.
the world and continuously receives strong im-
provements from computer industry giants like Net-
scape, AOL, Intel, IBM, HP, Dell, Sun, Oracle and
many more.
Among the advantages that it offers, most common
users emphasize on its impressive capacity of mak-
ing old PCs enough responsive to be useful again,
its ability to perform many tasks at the same time
without slowing down even if the hard desk is al-
most full. Today the combination of inexpensive
computers and free high-quality Linux operating
systems and software provide incredibly low-cost
solutions for both basic home office use and high-
performance business and science applications!
