guzzidom Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Full 64 bit support (long before Windows),light and easy for low spec systems to run quickly, some distro's can be run solely from a cd-rom. Open source so lots of people have written free software for it like GIMP and Open office etc, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibitzer99 Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I like that Linux gives you the ability to get down into the guts of the system if you *need* to. Not everybody needs the command line everyday. But I think that is one of Linux's greatest strengths over Windows. Nothing is hidden and locked away from you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 well why would it be locked and hidden, its free. They got nothing to protect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronamd Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 linux is MUCH stabler in systems with litle ram or a not so great processor. It feels smoother when run and doesn't require constant maintnance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 If your Windows requires constant maintenance, then you probably went wrong somewhere in installation, or it's a PEBCAK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronamd Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Don't you pebcak me KB! the thing with windows is that you have to do virus scans have a SUPER strong firewall and crap and you even need to check for spyware, so don't even thinbk it's a pebcak.
