Interesting facts about Linux

So why Linux is cool?

§ Runs on just about any hardware. It is a misnomer that Linux lacks the driver support of Windows and OSX. Linux actually has the broadest driver support of any system.

§ More options than any other system. This is a pro and a con. If you want to change anything in Linux you can. The only limiting factor is your desire to figure out how.

§ Way more secure than Windows XP and even OSX.

§ Everything is free. Although please donate a little something to your favorite projects.

§ Full access to the free open source library of software. Great full featured, compatible, and free replacements for your proprietary software.

§ Linux management, for example patch management, is much easier. Typical one command or wizard has to be invoked in order to update everything vs. Windows where you have to get OS patches from Microsoft and third party patches from each individual vendor.
