I was reading in an another forum about a beginer asking
what the advantage of Linux over MSwindows, funny here it go...look@#5
beginer>What I am simply asking is that from this very practical point of view, where does linux have an advantage??
ans>if you are a normal user ?
normal user = surf internet, send emails, listem MP3 or streaming audio, watch TV (if he have a TV card), play DVD's, burn CD's, documents treatement (office), chat (messenger), P2P (kazaa)...
if you agree on these points of a normal user than here are the advantages from my point of view.
1- you can update all your programs to the latest versions in 1 place, what I mean you can update(your OS, all you media players, actually all your programs in couple of clicks), on windows you have to go to winupdate, authenticate your winver(even if it take a sec you still have to do it) than go to ex: winamp, realplayer, quicktimes, kazaa, or what ever you have AntiVirus your firewall and so on...
2- Linux is more secure against viruses, no spywares, addwares (if you don't get infected that is fine) but definetly the chance are lower in linux, and it's worth mentioning.
3-you can modify it the way you want, let me explain, ex: *you double click on officeXP and you see the splash screen it is your tipical MSoffice thing, on linux Openoffice.org, it is so easy to put any picture, example I want my daughter picture (maybe you do not care) but it is an advantage, you can change the login screens so easy and you have so many schems for free go kdelook.org and gnomelook.org,*I want more than 1 task bar
in linux you can have as much as you want in couple of clicks, so the point is customizing the way you feel like it. maybe you want the flag of your country when you boot your machine maybe your girfriend...
4-and this is the most important advantage in my opinion linux is more robust, you will be amazed how robust it is...when an application freezes does not take the system down with it, you kill the application(and yes it will die from the first time not as MSWIN when the system freezes even taskmanager does not comes up) it is only with use that you will be surprised by Linux.
5- Last but not least, the ONE advantage that linux have over any windows,
where Linux users AND MSwin users agree on is ?
