24 Apr 09 Using Linux
Well, I use Linux for myself and I love using it.. I try to use as much as I could because it is pretty cool to learn other operating sytems as well. Right now, I am currently using Ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition.
I have stumbled across some readings past a couple of days about Linux and Now I would like to say a bit about Linux.

How to get?
Linux is open source operating system and you can actually download hundreds of distributions across the world. The one you can download everything in one place could be DistroWatch. Except for the commercial ones, you can actually get them all FREE.
Why use Linux?
I would say it’s a pretty good question, since many people based around on windows, but it’s always good to debate because normally all Linux software can do what Windows software can do, maybe not very attractive looking, but they get the work done, and yes, It is all FREE. You can see Linux software equivalent to Windows here.
Control my system?
Yes, you can. 
You have complete control of your system, what you want to bypass or what you want to do. Because functions are built by individuals and whatever you assign, you don’t follow the protocols.
Fantastic Community
I have been a subscriber for Fedora Linux for several years, and I still am. I enjoy the community in Linux, because they are all willing to help you more than troll on boards and forums. Most of the solutions are obtained in a matter of minutes, maybe an hour or two. That’s how fast Linux community is.. Of course, I do not join every single distribution of Linux community, but the ones I joined, I always enjoy to hang around even Google groups.
Free from Virus and Malicious Codes
That’s another big reason I love Linux about. Enough said in the title.
Quick development
I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I consider this as a good thing. Some people think it is very confusing and I don’t disagree. Linux is pretty fast in development. When I do my graduate project in 95, I use Fedora 4.0 with both KDE and Gnome desktop environment. Last time I checked, before end of 2008, Fedora has released version 10.0, that’s how fast Linux developments are. By the way, Ubuntu 9.04 has been released yesterday. Possible the best desktop Linux edition available online, of course, completely FREE and now it does not even need virtual box or vmware to test it, you can install extremely easy.
Thousands of manuals and ebooks available
It is irony that as much as Linux distributions are available FREE as well as manuals and administrations e-books are also free.
64bit Architecture
It is just awesome to use 64bit Architecture on Linux especially when you have massive memory and super fast computing system. Most Linux distributions provide for both 32bit and 64bit versions. How convenient!
In conclusion, if you have never tried Linux, give it a try. You will be amazed to know there are hundreds of millions of people who love using Linux once you get to know it. I know it’s too much technical, but I am neither hardcore programmer nor OS developer. But I think Linux gives you a choice of freedom what you have never had before and It is been 11 years for me that I started using Linux and they have never disappointed me either.
