Well,
I don't know if you are like me, I give to my computer a lot of use; through
the years almost always work with microsoft os(ms-dos, windows 3.x windows
9.x, windows 2k ... ) and always I got problems, always!(I compile a program
that run fine in my machine, but in another don't work. A lot of blue screen
that freeze your computer, without any reason. and always microsoft os
requires more power for your pc, a better processor more memory, more disk
space, ... for what? for freeze your computer when you are doing a important
work? for have program that always cause problem?
But, one day I begin to work with unix os, and I saw what is really good...
Operating system bases in unix are the best.
Linux is a operating system(os) based in unix, that can run almost in any
pc, o computer, it's free and open source, there is not monopoly.
That's a fact.
I don't have anything against microsoft, but the reality is that the windows
based operating system (win2k, win9x) it doesn't deserve to be called
operating system.
