Fast on bugfixes, Unix pedigree and you get to lend a hand in yourself

There's a lot of good reasons, no 1 is that linux is a better OS. for instance, you have more control. another thing I like is, I can set up user accounts for guest and i don't have to worry about them messing up my os or personal files. on and on.

Another thing is that it is more customizable, for instanc, you have a choice of window managers. I have 5 desktops and 6 text mode consoles on my primary pc. You can even have extra terminals on your pc.

I have 5 new fun ways to watch TV on the PC. Many games have been geared to run natively on Linux

It really is customizable, you can even modify the source code and compile it to your whim, MS Windows will not let you have their source code.

Hey, it's GNU/Linux. A bright head tried with the kernel Linus made and the rest is history :)

It's long story 2 tell, but hey evry1 here, answer this: can windows read linux? (& vice versa)

Why Linux? Why not? Some ppl dont like it so much at 1st, but thats only cos its different to what theyre used to (Windows). After a while youll think its great! A good idea is at 1st to have both Windows and Linux on your hard drive (dual-boot). And yes, Linux can read Windows. Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) has NTFS support built-in, so on my dual-boot system when im using Ubuntu I can access stuff in my Windows partition no problem

linux can play on PS2 WII or even Xbox!but windows can't.
