Why
Linux? robusteness to all test - based in the Unix, Linux is an operational system universal user that doesn´t know the breaks so common in a Windows system. Nowadays, there are systems which are in functioning more than one year without stoping; performance - Linux has a performance better than the other operational systems. The proper Oracle discloses that its data base Oracle 8i is 49% faster in Linux than in the Windows NT; security - in a Linux machine, who doesn't know the super-user password cannot damage the system, because this one will not have access to the configuration files and control. But in the Windows, any one that has access to the system can format the disk; Linux has integrated firewall ; There is no viruses for Linux; flexibility - Linux is the most versatile operational system, being capable to integrate itselves with Windows, Windows NT, Novell, Amiga, Macintosh and a lot of other machines. Linux allows the coexistence with the Windows in the same hard-disk, being capable to read partitions FAT, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and more. It allows too the “clustering processing”, where a lot of computers linked add its capacities to the execution of the same software; Linux has more than ten graphical interfaces, which give a visual show even though in the most recent Windows; multi platform - Linux runs in all the machines, like Intel, Macintosh, IBM, Sun...; not obscure - differently of the other operational systems proprietors, of closed code to many keys, Linux is total opened and everybody knows what happen or what is in the nucleus of the system. With the Linux, is very acessible to construct an Intranet or to allow the automatic access and simultaneous to the Internet - all the job stations can access, through the local net, the Internet resources - web and e-mail - without the necessity of a local modem. It can, optionally, install a monitor service to control the adjusted use of the Internet -> register of the web pages acessed by the users. World-wide Nowadays,
France and China, like the Government of the State of the Rio Grande
Do Sul, are adopting the Linux as official operational system. China
e and France want to banish proprietors softwares, mainly of critical
activities, like military, of their institutions. Free Finally, we still can say that Linux is free! More than gratuitous, it allows to be modified and redistributed without any cost. It's not necessary to buy additional licenses nor to pay for updates. It's the end of the piracy. Who has Linux, has legal software. Always.
