arm all of your system, we can understand how Linux is secure. Linux is a stable operating system that never fails like Windows. When Bill Gates presented the Windows 98, an error message appeared on the screen that says you must shutdown your computer. In Linux, there are not error messages like that. You can kill a process that is not replying with kill command. Linux has true multitasking property. It is true because it is not like Windows. You can run up to twelve processes in the same time with no performance loss. Microsoft claims that Windows has the capability of multitasking but you cannot run two processes on the same time.

If you have 16Mb of ram and 64Mb of swap place that is a memory of 80Mb for Linux. So you can run Linux only 8Mb of ram and 16Mb of swap place. Windows requires at least 16Mb of ram (32Mb is recommended). Users that have limited systems can use Linux. Multi-user capabilities of Linux provide to share one computer’s resources by hundreds of people over a network, the Internet or on computers and terminals connected the serial port of those computers. By this you can connect your computer or laptop to another computer and you can use it. Multi-user capability of windows is limited. You can only transfer files from other computer.

Dennis Ritchie developed C language in 1972 at AT&T Bell Labs. It was called C because there was a B programming language already. C is a high-level programming language. In fact, it is one of most popular languages. High-level lan...
