Background

 my purpose for starting this blog is to share my deep interests in technology, especially in the area of computer science. My goal is to feature and blog about open source software, primarily Linux, which is the other operating system for your computers. Linux is the name of a computer operating system that is not widely used in homes of the United States, but is very popular in Canada, the rest of the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

In the United States businesses of all sizes use Linux. The reasons why businesses primarily medium to large sized one’s settle with Linux operating systems on their hardware is driven by the inherent security features that the Linux OS exhumes. These businesses have widely adapted the Linux OS as the interface for majority of backend transactions and computations services.
Just in case you didn't know
Many businesses use computer systems to manage the organization’s everyday activities. For instance, bank transactions, accounting, databases and controlling high stake and security sensitive data have Linux installed on them. Linux more so than any other software computer operating system hosts applications that manage the billions of transactions that businesses implement daily. The terminology ascribed to computer systems that handle business transactions is Enterprise level computers systems. The hardware requirements for machines, primarily servers, cost more significantly than the machines name, generally referred to as computer hardware “cpu”....purchased from Best Buy, Micro Center, etc.
Reasons to try it
The point is to inform you that if businesses of all magnitude including banking institutions feel safe to use Linux to manage sensitive data, then why won’t many of us do the same, right?

The Big Secret !

you should consider Linux because it is inherently safe by design and believe it or not, it is free. You do not have to pay a dime for it. All you have to do is download it, burn it to a CD/DVD or download it to a USB stick and install with small installer software. Linux install’s to your computer very easily. In an hour or less you will have the safest operating system on your computer up and running. Linux is less vulnerable to malware, intrusion software and illegal hacking in general. What Linux does is open you to a world of free functioning software. You will have access to thousands of computer software that addresses every aspect of computing. The usage ranges from journal editing to programming, designing, creating and engineering your own tools. Stuff to do whatever you want and you DO NOT HAVE TO PAY A DOLLAR FOR THE SOFTWARE!!
