LINUX is a free available multitasking and multiuser operating
system which has been developped from Linus Torvalds and many free
developpers worldwide. The most important advantage is the free
access to the source-code for everybody worldwide. Specialists are
therefore able to check in details which functions are exercised in
the computer and can furthermore make individual changes if
necessary.
LINUX in the meantime offers all the functionality which is
expected with modern operatingsystems. Real (preemtive)
multitasking, virtual memory administration, dynamically loadable
libraries wth version numbers and further modern concepts make the
POSIX-oriented operatingsystem to the optimum solution for many
operational fields.
Meanwhile LINUX is successfully used by more than ten millions
users worldwide.
The group of users spans from private users over universities,
teaching firms, development centers up to commercial users and
companies which see LINUX as an real alternative to other
operatingsystems. Today LINUX experiences its biggest growing rates
in the area of internet servers where it has conquered a
top-position based on its outreaching network performance and
safety architecture.
