Linux teaches you stuff that your cloned, virus ridden OS can ever teach you. It attracts IT professionals, graphics desiners, animators, developers, schools and the government. Its called the linux operating system. It’s more secure, extreamly customizable, could be encrypted for maximum security, and believe me, its far less affected by viruses. Exploits are prevented because security updates are available even before those nasty things go out wrecking your system.
Heck! no wonder NASA, Google, IBM, and 80% of the servers on the planet plus the fastest super computer that was ever made runs linux…sweet!
newbies hardly ever get lost through the linux system due to the vast internet support and an optional documentation. and you can install this on your PC/PPC/x64/SPARC/SMP/and duo processors..Most of the drivers are autodetected in the installation making them simply plug-and-play hardware.The only thing that you need to do is sweet productivity;) no more antiviruses(unless you run an email server), no more “upgrade to pro” or “this is an eval only” because everything is free!..so go jump to doing presentations, documents and e-mails, edit pictures, watch videos..everything that windows does and much much more! apps are a no hassle because 18,000 apps are available freely in the internet and atleast 1000 on your installation alone…cheers! So go out and show your friends what a superior OS you operate!and spread linux!
