Hi, I hope nobody minds if I jump in on this .... Why do I use linux? Easy!
1.) Multitasking that really Works!!!! (go ahead and try and format a floppy in ANY windows version and then try and do something else ....) 2.) Low cost. I am constantly on a budget and need to squeeze every penny. I can download Mandrake for free and take advantage of the latest software without breaking the bank. (Even so I am planning to buy 8.2 power pack when its released. Still cheaper than windows) 3.) Heres the biggy ! With the basic windows install how many apps do you get? Lets see ... Explorer, Notepad, Mediaplayer, Moviemaker ... and two or three games. Not much else! When I install Linux I hardly have to install any other apps. If I find something else that I need I can usually find an app that does what I want, and I dont have to worry about licencing fees, or annoying Shareware nag screens. I can run my my machine with a clean consience. 4.) if something doesnt work, I can fix it. I have many more options than I do with windows. Heres a question, in windows what do you do if you cant find a software driver for an older piece of hardware for lets say Windows XP ??? Your screwed! (been there done that!) In Linux I can call on the millions of Linux users accross the world to help, most likely someone else has had the same problem and has written a driver, or can tell me how to do it myself to get it working. I have the code for Linux, I cant afford to pay Microsoft the $$$ to get theirs. 5.) Linux doesnt spy on me. (nuff said) 6.) I can configure the Operating System to run the way I want it to, instead of being forced to use a system that is basicly just a cookie cutter clone of everyone elses 7.) I like Penguins! 8.) It is more stable than the Windows Alternative 9.) Its also more secure and safer from virus attacks. 10.)I just like being different. Any questions ??????
