15 Advantages of using Linux over Windows !!!!!

  1. You don’t have to “activate” Linux by phone or Internet.
  2. There’s no such thing as Linux Genuine Advantage.
  3. You can install Linux on as many computers as you want.
  4. You can give it away to friends and family.
  5. You can download it and you can burn disc after disc.
  6. You don’t have to enter obscure product keys stuck onto your computer.
  7. You don’t have to store product keys for safety.
  8. Do you like to program? The C programming language was built for UNIX.
  9. Similarly, many well-known scripting languages debuted in the UNIX/Linux world.
  10. You don’t have to worry about viruses.
  11. In fact, over 80% of the top 500 supercomputers in the world run Linux. Windows just doesn’t have the capability for high performance computing.
  12. If you need an office suite you can just download Open Office and get going. There’s no extra purchase involved.
  13. Linux has immensely powerful scripting languages which give great power to systems administrators as well as allowing any user to automate routine tasks.
  14. You can make your own Linux distro if you want. Imagine “MyLinux” to give to all your friends and family for uber-geek street-cred? You can’t legally distribute your own customised version of Windows.
  15. Linux can run from a CD without even having to affect what’s already on the hard disk of the computer.
