partitions on a single hard disk.

to pay for a copy
•Linux distros scan be freely downloaded and
legally installed on as many computers

it is open system software…..

Linux to your computer than Windows.

52. Linux is very stable
•Linux systems rarely crash, and when they do, it
whole system normally does not
go down familiar to Windows users is not a worry
for Linux users…….

53. Linux typically does not slow
over time
• Linux does not easily become bogged down with spyware,
viruses, etc..
which can greatly reduce a computer's performance.
• Because Linux does not have a registry like Windows, is not
plagued with registry errors which can slow down a
computer over time…..

54. Linux can breath new life into old
computers
• If you have an older computer (especially pentium iii) you
can install Linux and
in essence have a new computer.
 In many cases Linux will run faster and you can do all of the
basics such as browse the Internet email, play games, and
create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint
presentations.

55. With linux you have so many
choices in a wide variety of
distros
• Linux comes in all sizes and flavors, which offers a wide
variety from which to choose the distro which will best suit
your needs…

drivers of sound , Lan etc….

56. Update all your software with a single click
• Windows has a pretty convenient tool called "Windows
update", which allows you to update your system with the
latest updates available
• Linux has a central place called the "Package manager", which
takes care of everything installed on your system So if you want
to keep everything up-to-date, the only thing you need to do is
press the "Install Updates" button down there

of these problems.

60. Disadvantages of Fedora Linux
OS
• Mozilla Firefox and Google chrome are outstanding Internet
browsers which can be used in the place of Internet
Explorer.

61. smaller selection of peripheral
hardware drivers for linux
• There is a smaller selection of peripheral hardware drivers (for
printers, scanners,
and other devices) in Linux as compared to Windows, though
many new Linux hardware drivers are constantly being added.
 There are many hardware compatibility issues to linux OS

62. Dependent to command line
• There are nowhere near as many applications available
for Fedora as for Ubuntu- and those that are often need to
be installed via the command line or by adding custom
repositories
