OK. You've heard of Linux. It's another operating system for a computer. But why use it when you can choose between Windows and Macs? Unless you run business-class servers, Linux isn't really something consumers really need to hear about, right? Well, if that's what you think Linux is, you couldn't be further from the truth. Look around you. Linux is everywhere, but you may not know it. However, you'll have to look at the fine print to be sure, because manufacturers usually don't openly advertise with labels announcing "Linux Inside."

I am researching the Linux OS for a college paper and need some response. How does it really work and what hardware components are as well as what are some recommended network products? please respond.

Why Not Use Linux

When a person uses a Windows or Apple OS {operating system) it is necessary to sign a EULA (end user license agreement). This agreement allows the software venders to monitor the installed softwares use through Active X and DRM's (Digital Rights Management). This monitoring not only adds more software bloat which uses more system resources and internet bandwith, the inclusion of Active X and DRM allows an entrance for malware (Trojans, virus's and key loggers)to enter the computer. Most Malware uses Active X and DRM access to install itself. In the future people will be using Linux and wonder why people PAID venders to install software that installed Active X and DRM's which allowed a way for malware to ruin thier systems
