What is Linux?
Linux can be what ever you want or need it to be. Basically, Linux is a Freely available Open Source operating system that allows for personal customization to suite most any businesses wants or needs, free of cost. It’s a stable, secure and Robust system that can be utilized and leveraged to solve problems that some other major operating systems can not. Out of the box Linux/UNIX is more secure than it’s paid counterparts, all while utilizing old, or minimal hardware requirements.
What Linux is not
Linux may not be the best choice for some businesses that require special programs that are only supported by other commercial operating systems, like Microsoft’s Windows. Programs such as Photoshop and other applications are only supported by Windows. On the other hand, there are Free (Open Source) programs who have the same look, feel, and interoperability as these vendor specific applications. There are also work a rounds and virtual environments that can provide use of these vendor specific programs in a Linux Environment.
Who uses Linux?
- Small/Medium Business
- Schools and Labs
