Is Linux a good way to go?

Is Linux a good way to go? - 01/27/2009 I keep hearing about Linux and the different capabilities of the Operating system but am leary about the companies who make Linux. When I go online and research Linux, I get a whole army of different versions of Linux. Why are there so many versions and can these versions be supported? I am a little confused on the Linux deal. What is the situation with Linux? |

Response - 01/27/2009 Linux is good for several reasons. One is that they have very user friendly versions of the OS like Ubuntu and openSUSE. Also Linux has updates that are free and the software for Linux is Free Open Source software which is a plus. The downside to Linux is that popular programs like, Microsoft Office, Adobe Products, and most video games are not available for Linux. So, it really depends on what you use your computer for. If you are administering a web or database server then I would highly recommend Linux. Linux is far better in security and there are virtually no viruses and spyware. |
