Hey does anyone know if i can download Linux full version from the net or is it neccesary to buy the CD ?
brookstimtimtim said:Nooooo... Redhat (A.K.A Fedora) sucks. I use it and knoppix. Knoppix is much more user friendly. Redhat does not come with any goodies, like mp3 support, java plug-ins, and Media players, just to name a few. Knoppix is much better. To install some software on Redhat you have to hunt down RPM's which is very easy, but with knoppix all you have to do is type "apt-get install (whatever program)" You can also try it before you install it without any worries. It will run in memory and will not write info on to you hard drive.
Linux is an open-source operating system that is widely used in various fields such as software development, servers, and personal computers. It offers a customizable and secure environment, with a wide range of free software and high compatibility with various hardware. If you value flexibility, control, and community support, Linux is definitely worth considering.
There are several ways to download Linux depending on your needs and preferences. You can either download a specific Linux distribution (such as Ubuntu or Fedora) from their official websites, or use a package manager to install it on your current operating system. Another option is to use a live CD or USB to test out Linux before installing it permanently.
Linux may have a slight learning curve for those who are used to Windows or macOS, but it is generally user-friendly with a graphical user interface (GUI) similar to other operating systems. There are also plenty of online resources and communities available to help beginners get started.
Yes, you can dual-boot Linux with your current operating system. This means you can choose which system to boot into when starting up your computer. However, it is important to backup your data and follow a guide to ensure a smooth installation process.
Yes, Linux is free in terms of cost. However, some distributions may offer paid support or enterprise versions with additional features. You can also choose to donate to the developers or contribute to the open-source community in other ways.
