Advantages of Linux from Windows

Linux advantages:
In summary, I will explain the reasons why many people in the world who interested using Linux. Be it as a server, workstation or personal desktop, including:
1. Does not require expensive hardware. Linux can run on any PC with minimal configuration as follows:
* 386 DX microprocessor (Intel, AMD, Cyrix, TI, Chips & Tech.)* 4 MB RAM (no GUI) and 8 MB (with GUI)* 85 MB hard disk space
2. Linux is an operating system 32-bit FULL. There was no 16-bit code or a mixture of both in every application, making it less likely event of a crash (clashes) between applications.

3. Preemptive multitasking, to handle multiple processes simultaneously, all these processes are not mutually inhibit / inhibit even walking at the same time.

4. Multiuser, which is more than one person can use a program similar / different from the same machine at the terminal at the same time the same / different.

5. Multiconsole. In a computer, users can login with the same user name / differ by more than one occasion, without the need to close the previous session.

6. Linux has a graphical interface (GUI) as other modern Operating System. Graphical interface called the X-Window System (X-Windows is not) with various display options (dynamic).

7. Programs - programs and networking applications are available in all Linux distributions (on CD or diskette), so no need to find / buy / download an additional application again.

8. There is no need to defragment. Linux uses the file system ext2fs (Second Extended File System) which has the advantages of an automatic reduction of fragmentation. By using ext2fs, the performance of read / write (access) from / to the hard drive is maintained.

9. Support access to 33 different kinds of file systems. Linux is able to access the file system FAT16, FAT32 (DOS belongs), VFAT (Win), HPFS (OS / 2), Minix, UFS (Solaris), Xenix, SCO, Novell, etc..

10. Linux Users of rapid accretion. Linux is a variant of UNIX (TM) has recorded the most rapid growth worldwide. With increasing numbers of users, the easier it will get support and drivers for various hardware. Web sites dedicated to spreading information about Linux and Linux is also discussion about the event grew in number. Please visit the website: http://counter.li.org/estimate.html to see the number of Linux users (although the site is not to be regarded as official statistics on the number of Linux users worldwide).

11. Remote Control. Any Linux users who use port 23 with the Telnet program to control the Linux computer remotely, anytime, from anywhere, such as - if the user is directly in front of him.
