It offers a strong shell background, where users can communicate directly with Linux Kernels. Secruity in Linux is very strong as it use various types of files to maintain user profile. It offers a special type of password security known as "Shadow Password".Linux doesn;'t need to restart unlike NT after anyinstallation. However one can reboot a Linux system continuing after 6 months.Above all Linux is free operating system unlike NT, and one can easily download it from internet.
