Why Linux is the right one ?

Top reasons that show Linux is the right one 

Linux, as operating system, is and will always remain free (in the sense of a free beer).
There is no license to pay to anybody.

More than that, Linuxcost of ownership is very low because of:
 • You don't need expensive anti­virus software.
• You don't need to maintain a license database.
• You don't need to reinstall crashed/corrupted systems 
• You don't need to install expensive remote management software
 • You harmed by very old well known bugs that have not yet been fixed
 • You can choose your operating system supplier (no monopoly)
 • You can choose between various equivalent softwares (alternative solutions exists on Linux)
 • You can adapt the system to your exact needs: you remain master of your software solution.

Linux is European

Linux is European technology !

The creator of Linux, Linus Torvald, is European!
Linux is now used throughout the world (Asia, Oceania, North and South America).
Why not in Europe ?
Do we need to depend on technological matters on foreign countries, while we have the best technology in town ?
Are we plan to add to our regrettable energetic dependency the high­tech one ?
What might become Europe without techno­logical capability ?
 Our only resource is our brains. If we become technologically dependent of a foreign country, we are going to become a third­world country within the next decades.

Problems in Linux

Why Linux is best for scientists and companies ? 

 Linux manages properly the memory
Thanks the state of the art implementation of the research results in computer science coming from Unix, universities and other research centers, Linux properly manages the memory (demand paging).

The consequence ?

• If a buggy software crashes, you don't need to reboot the computer
• If a software ends, it does not leave unused memory (memory leaking) leading to "Low on resources" error message.
 • If a malicious code gets executed, it does not spread among the entire system memory.
 •Two users sharing the same computer at the same time can't corrupt the other user software memory.

Linux is awesome !

Top reasons that show Linux is awesome !

Linux is stable. 
It manages properly the memory, tasks, user rights, access to the I/O and hardware, so that some Linux hosts are running actively since more than 5 continuous years !
When does a Linux system stops ?
 – When there is a hardware failure
– When there is a power outage
 – When there is a system upgrade 
– When it is shut­down by its owner Linux development team started even the development of a system allowing upgrades without interruption of the services !

Compare this kind of stability with Win NT4: Microsoft recognized that an internal bug caused the system to crash after only 47 days ! Nobody notice, because Microsoft systems are always crashing anyway !

Choose the freedom choose Linux

Choose the freedom ! Choose Linux !

Linux is multi­vendor.

 This means that by choosing Linux, you choose to depend on a set of (more than 50) Linux distributorsin the world, plus the open­source community.

 This is definitely safer than depending on a unique vendor.

 It is also saner: prices ­if any­ are driven by the market, not by monopoly. 

This means also that the distributors are fighting to give you the best service, the best documentation, the easiest installation procedures, the quickest updates, the best security updates, the smartest trainings, the most appropriate assistance, the most efficient help­desk... in order to keep you as customer !

Reasons to choose Linux

Top Reasons to choose Linux

Linux is open­source.
 This means you have access to the code of the operating system.
You can actually learn computer science, change the code and experience the result.
You can even participate to the development code.
 Linux is good for students.
 Other non open­source operating systems do not allow learning how a system works.
 They don't allow you neither to try new developments or experiment a ­potentially genial­ idea.
With non open­source systems, your role is reduced to license buyer. 

Linux Best Choice ?

Why to choose Linux

Linux is multi­user. 
On a Linux box, several users can log­on simultaneously.
 This means that you have the freedom to share the same computer among various tasks launched by various users.
This means you can share the same program installation among various users.
This allows you to
– Save license costs
– Save installation time
– Save back­up time
 – Save upgrade time
This is only possible if the operating system is very stable and separates efficiently the data and codebelonging to various users.
