What is Linux?

• Just like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8,
  and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An
  operating system is software that manages all of
  the hardware resources associated with your
  desktop or laptop. To put it simply the
  operating system manages the communication
  between your software and your hardware. Without
  the operating system (often referred to as the
  OS), the software wouldnt function.

Linux Vs Windows

• The main benefits and advantages of Linux over
  other operating systems, particularly Microsoft
  Windows, are
• It is free to use and distribute.
• It is very reliable more so than most other
  operating systems with very few crashes.
• A huge amount of free open source software has
  been developed for it.
• It is very resistant to malware such as spyware,
  adware and viruses.
