3. Why People Use LINUX?
– It’s free
You can get Linux free from someone who has
it, from Website or you can buy a Linux
magazine and get it from this as a CD. Free it
not means like you can get everything not paid,
but free is : you can modify and redistribute
again.
– It’s multiuser
Multiuser not always mean the same thing to
different people, but the real meaning of a
multiuser operating system is one that’s
multiple people log in and run processes on it at
the same time.
4. – It’s multitasking
This allows the system to run more than one job
in a same time. Not like older operating system
such as MS-DOS allowed only one job to run at
a time.
– It’s stable
Linux has excellent stability due to it’s design
and modularity.
– It’s fast
Many users switching to Linux from Windows
are surprised at how fast and responsive this
system is, even with many processes running
and with multiple Windows open.
