Works Better!

• MUCH more stable - almost impossible to crash, due to complete compartmentalization.
• Only the Superuser (aka root) can see, change, and execute everything.
• Ordinary users can see, change, or execute only their own files, unless given specific permission by another owner.
• Each user's session can be SEPARATELY customized.
• MUCH faster.
• Linux servers typically can handle several times as many users as NT, using the same hardware.
• Scalable - Multiple processors, clustered PCs possible.
• Can be custom-compiled for speed and small size, and be optimized for a specific CPU type.
• MUCH smaller
• can run on 4MB 386.
• users don't have to upgrade hardware as often.
• "obsolete" machines can be productive as terminals or even servers. (A 486 with 16MB makes an excellent server/internet firewall for a home or small office.)
• MUCH More flexible.
• Choice of shell.
• Choice of graphical "look and feel".
• Complete modularity; any component can be upgraded "on the fly."
• MUCH better file system.
