Reasons for Use Linux as your Operating System

Browsing becomes 4 times faster with the same hardware and Internet connection.
Because others shall think you are a cool computer user.
No need to think about any type of virus at all. The hardest thing would be to train your mind to stop worrying and start opening any emails WITH whatever attachments. Bring on the EMAILS.
You do not need to install Linux on a machine to use it. You can run it completely from the CD Drive. Even on a computer with a virus infected or nonexistent hard disk. You shall still be able to work on any files on the hard disk without worries of infection.
YOU ARE IMMUNE. SO STOP WORRYING.
For using Linux you need not dump your existing Operating System (OS). Linux will go along with any other operating systems.
Linux comes with a lot of goodies (for everyone - from a geek to a meek home user) which you cannot get under any other platform.
Linux is stable, has highly effective multitasking capabilities. Thus Linux is in for mission critical jobs... Not just for servers. After all your desktop is used for critical tasks like making the closing reports before the closings themselves.
Having so many free quality programs, it stops your temptation to pirate.
Because there is no reason why you shouldn't be using it.
No central REGISTRY for all programs to access. Each program has their own HUMAN READABLE configuration file.
You can install as many programs as you please and it shall NOT slow down  any other installed software.
Most programs are open source so if the supplier of the software wants to stop developing then you can get other suppliers to continue development in the directions you want.
You can save cookies, passwords, and all other secret stuff and feel confident that spywares, viruses and even the system administrator can not access your data unless you them to.
No viruses and spywares or software can run on your machine unless you allow it first.
All time wasting spam mails can be automatically marked for easy filtering.
If you are a technical user then you shall be able to run programs which shall allow you to do things which all other operating systems can not even dream of allowing you to do. Or they do not even know that such things and options are available to be done.
No dependence on a single supplier for any product.
Ability for customers to keep old features which they depend on and have new features built or modified to their requirements. All customers can modify any product features on their own or get them modified by any third party because the source code is available.
Increased Competitiveness
Ability to keep the same software and file formats maintained for a century or more rather than having to change or upgrade annually.
Linux  is  rapidly  becoming  the  choice  OS  for many professionals, researchers, and hobbyists.
Since  its  introduction  in  1991,  Linux  has grown to become a much  appreciated  operating system capable of solving daily tasks for users in  many  areas.
Linux  is  stable.
The  open  nature  of the Linux kernel means that it has been  reviewed  and debugged  by  thousands  of  people and companies worldwide.
Linux is the leading operating system for Internet servers.
Right out of the box, you can:
1.Set up a router, firewall, or bridge
2.Provide Network Address Translation (NAT) for your network
3.Run the world's most powerful mail server
4.Run the world's most popular web server, Apache
5.Run an FTP server
6.Provide timesharing and true graphical remote login capabilities


Linux is an ideal platform for an ISP - the people  that  require the most heavy-duty networking servers.
Linux can be used as a webserver or file server, a firewall, a desktop computer,  in  a  cluster of PC's making a super computer for scientific calculations.
It  can  run  on  Sun Sparc, MIPS and Alpha processors,  PowerPC, handhelds  and  much  more.
Linux   can   speak   not   only   to   the  huge  installed  base  of Internet-speaking machines, but also to various other machines in your location.
Linux  runs  on  more  CPUs  and  platforms  than  any  other computer operating  system.
The  recent direction of the software and hardware industry  is  to push consumers to purchase faster computers with more system  memory  and hard drive storage. Linux systems are not affected by  those  industries orientation because of it capacity to run on any kind  of  computers,  even  aging  x486-based  computers  with limited amounts of RAM.
Linux  is fast, and will run on lesser hardware than many other operating  systems.  Your  old  486 can do something useful again with Linux.
The  merged  VM/buffer  cache  integrates  the  disk and directory caching  with  the  virtual memory subsystem. This allows the disk cache  to dynamically  shrink  and  expand  as the demands on the system  change. This produces a minimum of swapping and a maximal hit ratio.
Linux's  second  and third extended  filesystem  (aka ext2 and ext3) is designed in such a way that disk fragmentation is prevented 98% of the time on many  disks.  This means that there is no need to have any sort of defragmentation  tool;  the  filesystem  does  such  a good job of avoiding fragmentation that such a tool would be a waste of time.
The ext3 file system is a journaled filesystem. If the power is suddenly cut, it resumes from where it left of in less than a second. No need to run checking programs when the computer turns back on.
Linux is a true multi-tasking operating system similar to its brother UNIX.  It uses  sophisticated,  state-of-the-art memory management to control all system processes. That means that if a program crashes you can kill the program and continue working with confidence.
You  can  change  your  user interface dynamically - without even   restarting any  applications.
Your  window  manager controls  the  appearance  of  programs  on the screen.
The Linux GUI is EASIER TO USE for new computer users than any other Desktop.
You can have programs from  your  computer  and  many  others appearing on the same display  at once -- and they are so perfectly integrated that you can't tell the difference.
Debian has one  of  the  most  powerful  package management  systems available  today.
With this system, not only does it take only seconds to install or remove any application, it also  is  possible to upgrade the operating system with ease.
You get to pick which interface  to use -- graphical or shell -- and you can dynamically switch  between them or use them both simultaneously.
You can also pick  which  graphical  interface  to  use, and switch among those without   closing  any  applications.
Linux  users  can  pick  from dozens of tools to do word processing and typesetting.
With Linux, you can always find out what the system is doing, and why.
All  configuration files are in plain text. Linux will do what you ask it for, no more, no less. It doesn't do magic stuff behind your back.
Under Linux, it is possible to let people have  full  privileges to get all their work done but still not be able to mess up the system.
Linux's security model strictly enforces a separation between applications and the user's data saved in them, and between one user's data and another's data.
Backing  up  a  system  is  as  easy as backing up the "home" directory tree and the system configuration area.
It  is always easy to find data files. They are not buried in some  arcane  path with the application itself; rather, they are  stored in the user's personal data area (called the home directory in Linux).
That  is,  once  Linux is installed (which only takes a few minutes  itself),  there is no need to continue messing with it - it just runs. Period.
Linux  is one of the best platforms for program development.
Linux comes with some of the world's best compilers and development tools -- free with the OS.
Linux comes with the world's  most  powerful programmer's editor, Xemacs.
You  get a wide range of industrial-strength languages such as C, C++, Java,  assembler, and Perl, plus other languages such as Tcl, Fortran, COBOL,  BASIC,  and  many  more.  There  is  VisualTCL  which  closely resembles VisualBASIC, although VistualTCL is based upon a much better language and has better performance and functionality.
Linux  also comes with powerful version control software. This lets to archive all  the  changes  to  your  project  so  you can easily find differences  or  go back  to  a  previous  version later. There  is  a  great  amount  of software available for Linux, for free download on  the  Internet.  Furthermore a wide variety of commercial software  is available  if  your  needs  aren't satisifed by the open source software.
Linux -- it is free or very inexpensive.
