Every version of Linux is declared to be finished only when it is actually finished, which explains why it is so solid. The other reason why free software is better is because the personal reputation of the developer is attached to every release. If you are making something to give away to the world, something that represents to millions of users your philosophy of computing, you will always make it the very best product you can make. That’s the reason why Linux is a success.”(www.linux.org). We can understand that Linux (It is a free software) is not worried about sales, and it wants to give the best to the user.The Linux system for an open source code provides for a very flexible way to modify and customize the network environment, or even any programs or applications. Because it comes with a C++ compiler, Perl 5.0, and other IDE and text editing software, the user gets the ability to explore. Granted that programming of this nature is not for the average user, it is a great learning tool for those who are headed down that path. NT, however, does not provide the source code; therefore, limiting the user to only Microsoft’s networking and programming solutions. The creator of Linux, Linus Torvalds, developed this operating system using past versions of Unix strengths, and avoiding the weaknesses and flaws that have been created f...
