Linux notes

Linux is a 32 bit multi-tasking, multi-user operating system.
  • It will run on standard PC hardware such as that used to run Windows applications
  • It will also run on multi-processor hardware
  • Operates as a stand-alone server or alongside other Linux or Windows NT servers
  • Is a Unix® variant. Unix has been in existence since the 70's, long before Windows existed, and has stood the test of time. The Internet was designed around Unix computers.
    •  Linux is flexible, fast and free! It has been written to function without a GUI (Graphical User Interface) and hence is faster by concept. For ease of use a choice of GUI's are available - but only need to be run when required.

    Linux is an Open Source System - the source code is available, allowing any good programmer to tailor the system for your needs, or provide you in-depth support, something that cannot be done with other major operating systems.

    There are many major applications available for Linux, with more becoming available all the time. However, when Linux is run as a server, your existing applications will not be affected, they will still run an your current PC's, exactly as with any other server.
