Or buy a CD-ROM Linux by simply changing the cost of burning CDs and maybe a few other things (manual, a bonus application, technical support, etc.). Linux can even be taken from the Internet but will spend a lot of time and cost of downloading is not cheap. It's just for now, some Linux distributions like RHEL and SUSE Linux Enterprise, you can not download and
distributed for free. But do not worry, a number of other distributions such as Ubuntu, CentOS, Mandriva and openSUSE Free Edition, no less intense with commercial distributions like RHEL and SUSE Linux Enterprise. 2. Linux ready to use
Other operating systems provide very little initial application, maybe a text editor, a simple graphical applications and some games and the user must purchase additional applications. Linux provides almost all the users need and want. Among others: text editors, office applications, image processing applications, web browser, music player, audio / video, compilers, utilities and more, only on a DVD. All of these lots that are free. Interestingly, the applications included have a quality not inferior to similar commercial applications contained in the other operating system platforms.
3. Linux easy to install

After that, the Linux desktop a charming dish plus a number of applications can direct you to fulfill your employment needs. If still less with the applications included, simply connect the PC to the Internet, run applications Ubuntu Software Center, and select the thousands of applications that you can download at will. Simple, easy, free, and certainly not overshadowed,:)
4. No matter who becomes difficult
One moment you're having trouble using applications on Linux. Mention how to setup Linux, Apache, MySQL, to install the WordPress package. If you see this, simply open a web page browser, navigate to Google's search engine, then enter the keyword: "how to install Linux, apache, mysql on Ubuntu" or "how to install linux, apache, mysql, Ubuntu".

They are ready to help your problem, anytime and from anywhere. Conditions such as this share will be very different if you are using operating systems other than Linux.
5. Linux multitasking
Linux can run multiple applications at the same time and each application can also do some work in the same time (multi-threading).
6. Linux multiuser
More than one person can use Linux at the same time. This is certainly done in a computer network environment.
7. Reliable Linux
Linux can handle Web sites that have access to millions per day. The most concrete examples are Google and Facebook, which uses Linux as its server operating system. With additional devices, Linux can compete with supercomputers worth millions of dollars. Many Linux computer that can run as long without ever even yearly crash, and this indicates their reliability.
8. Linux flexible
Linux does not care if it is used not with the greatest computer in the market. Linux can run well on any hardware platform, including 386 or 486 computer with 8MB of memory. But for this, would require more knowledge to choose the Linux distribution that is suitable for the hardware in question.
9. Linux compatible
Dpaat Linux run on different types of computers such as 386/486/Pentium I / II / III / IV, AMD, VIA, PowerPC, Machintos, even Alpha and SPARC computer. Linux is also able to handle multiple processors and capable of handling almost all audio and video cards. Linux can be installed on the hard disk already occupied with other operating systems or on the hard drive is empty. Linux also can be used in text mode or GUI mode. All this can be done using Linux.
10. Linux security
Besides the fact advantage network security, Linux is also safe for home users. Linux is not susceptible to viruses as Windows. Moreover, with the habits of computer users who like any striking Indonesia USB Flash Drive that already contains a virus. Very rare cases of Linux viruses that can infiltrate into Linux until a specified period. This is at least bring more value for Linux than Windows.
11. Linux free
Unlike most other operating systems Linux is a free application. For additional statement, then think of "free speech". Linux distribution with its program code. Some may think "What source code? I do not need because I'm not a programmer!" No matter if you do not need the source code and only the binaries are acting as the user code. Program code here is intended for developers who want to further increase the corresponding program code, and with more reason that no party can turn off Linux for any reason.
12. Linux is not perfect
No honest when expressing all the advantages without disclosing deficiencies. To be honest that Linux still has some disadvantages. For example, graphics applications such as GIMP is still not sophisticated as Adobe Photoshop. Or Adobe In Design is still very sophisticated compared with Scribus. However, this deficiency will eventually be handled in line with banyaknnya input from the user accounts and applications developed further with the relevant application. But compared with the shortcomings, still more advantages than disadvantages Linux. Moreover, based on personal experience of the writer who has been using Linux since 1999. If no application had a sophisticated video editor, so this time pitivi or OpenShot already can be an option. Or if your office can not afford to buy an expensive ERP solution SAP seperto, Adempiere and OpenERP can be an alternative that currently exist. Not to mention the choice of software like Pentaho Business Intelligence BI, Xen for virtualized applications, a number of rows the application server from the Apache Foundation, and a number of enterprise applications 'savage' others, who remain free and not lose a class with other enterprise applications that are proprietary.
If you've seen the advantages of Linux and a number of developed countries have implemented Linux for their needs, whether you still stayed silent and remained determined to continue using pirated proprietary applications or purchase expensive proprietary software licenses? All choice is yours. |
