| Linux is an operating system
which is available in a number of different distribution packages.
A Linux distribution fundamentally includes a version of the
Linux operating system kernel as well as other applications,
tools, and utilities. These Linux distributions furthermore
include a Linux kernel which is specialised and has been modified
according to the unique purposes of an individual machine
and to who initially created the distribution. Various Linux
distributions are currently available and can be listed as
namely:
- Caldera
- Gentoo
- GNU/Linux
- Lindows/Linspire
- Debian
- Mandrake
- Red Hat
- Slackware
- SuSE
Using Linux as a Desktop Operating System
For the average computer user today with no knowledge in
Linux or Unix, it will be impossible to have the ability to
simply install the Linux software and immediately start using
it. This is for the reason that Linux is a highly complex
operating system and learning Linux is a process that takes
time and requires a degree of guidance on the part of Linux
professionals for appropriate use. Therefore, Intoweb has
a training course available to aid in the this adequate learning
of Linux and trains beginners in Linux in the fundamentals
of this operating first and foremost, and hereafter delving
into the more advanced features that Linux boasts.
The battle between Linux and Windows in on to discover which
operating system provides the best solution for the desktop.
After conducting numerous tests, it has been discovered that
there are a number of things that Linux offers to its users
that Windows does not. These advanced Linux elements of the
standard Linux operating system aid a Linux beginner to better
perform their everyday tasks and can in turn be discussed
as follows:
- Linux as a Graphics-Based Desktop PC System:
Linux can be used as a personal desktop for the home PC
because it is a graphics-based operating system. Linux therefore
makes for the ideal desktop PC system, grouping dozens of
pieces of hardware and software components that interact
together, making the Linux operating system incredibly user-friendly
and functional, aiding in better computer use.
- Linux as a Stable Network Server: The power of Linux lies
in the fact that it is a stable, text-based web, file, and
print server. Because Linux is based on Unix it is fundamentally
a networking operating system and hereby does not produce
the problems which occur with the open text-based architecture
of Windows.
- Linux as a Cost-Effective Solution: Large corporations
are more and more identifying the cost-effectiveness and
scalability that Linux offers to them. Cost benefits of
Linux include lower upgrading costs, and hiring a team of
Linux experts is better than the costs involved in having
to pay enormous Microsoft licensing fees.
