Advantages of fedora linux OS:

•Freedom :•Most Linux distros are free , users do not need to pay for a copy•Linux distros scan be freely downloaded and legally installed on as many computers •You can access linux source code easily , because it is open system software…..

Linux easy to install

• In many instances, it is actually easier to install Linux to your computer than Windows.

• It takes only 5-10 minutes for installation

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…….

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…..

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.

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…

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

Dependent to command line
