You Can Switch to Linux!

I came across this neat article done up by a writer for MaximumPC (my favorite magazine) explaining the switch from Windows to Linux.

I’ve written about Linux in Maximum PC quite a bit over the last three years. You see, I’m intrigued by the prospect of a free, open operating system, one that’s available for everyone to use and modify to suit their own purposes. Rather than a monolithic operating system vendor telling me that I’m not allowed to do something, there’s an entire community of developers who are working to make whatever features I want possible!

Five ways Linux is better than Vista:

http://www.itnews.com.au/News/62060,five-ways-linux-is-better-than-vista.aspx

1. Hardware requirements: Linux doesn’t require a lot of memory or the beefiest graphics card on the market just to get up and running.

2. Security: Antivirus and anti-spyware applications are not necessary on Linux boxes, but are essentially required on Vista machines.

3. No limitations: Linux doesn’t restrict how content is used on the system.

4. It’s all Genuine: There’s no such thing as Linux Genuine Advantage.

5. Get the apps, already: Increasing number of available applications for Linux have made it easier to get away from bloated Windows applications.
