| Need a reason to switch to Linux? Here's 25 |
Jan. 13, 2006
The Bellevue, Wash. Linux Users Group has published an article on its website entitled "25 Reasons to Convert to Linux," a concisely written listing of claimed advantages of the open source operating system over Windows and other proprietary software.
For IT managers and software developers trying to convince their companies to make such a changeover, the list could serve as a valuable reference point. It could be useful to individual computer users the next time the old "Linux vs. Windows" argument comes up.
Key points in the list include:- Linux is free software
- It is able to be freely modified
- High quality support for Linux is available for free on the Internet
- There is little possibility that support for Linux will be discontinued at some future date due to planned obsolescence or for any other reason.
- There are no forced upgrades for Linux users
