There are many reasons of using the Linux operating system, especially when you need it for business purposes. Let us discuss these points.
1) Cost Effective :- As already mentioned LINUX and most of its applications like php, mysql and many others , all are open source and free to use. No need of paying monthly or annually license fees for the operating system and applications. Also there is no need to get new hardware with new versions of software unlike Microsoft windows. So Linux is cost effective.
2) More Quality :- As all the tools, applications and development enviroments of Linux are free to use, the maintenance and administration is cheap. So the efficiency is improved.
3) Most Secure :- Linux operating system is the most secure operating system which is another benefit over other operating systems. Let us take a more detailed review on advantages and disadvantages of using Linux operating system.
Advantages Of Linux Operating System:
1) Stable And Reliable Coding :- Linux is an open source operating system. Its code can be viewed and edited by any one. So when professionals work together in smaller and bigger projects, code is reviewed by them. So a very large number of people view, edit , improve and find the bugs in the code. This makes the code of Linux more and more perfect and reliable. This feature cannot be found in any other operating system because their code is always hidden from public and only the company coders can improve the code.
2) Freedom to modify:- Linux code can be viewed and changed by any one. Any small or large organization can change the code to meet their specific requirements.
3) Low resource requirements:- A lot of people have used the linux code to make new contributions, utilities and applications. So a linux user may find almost every thing for free. And another great benefit is that all these contributions do not need the upgrade of hardware. This is not the case with the Microsoft windows where all new softwares require a new set of hardware to work with. So windows users are always facing problem of compatiblity of new softwares with their current system hardware.
4) Most Secure Operating System :- The contributions in source code have made the LINUX a really stable and secure operating system. The code is designed in such a way that an end user can do what he is allowed but cannot do any thing that can break the system. Especially the security and intelligence personnels prefer to use the open source applications. Because they can easily review the code and modify it to their specific needs regarding security.
5) Highly Resistant Against Viruses :- The compact and reliable coding of LINUX has added a really high resistance against the viruses and trojans. So the LINUX operating system, usually, do not need any anti-virus tools installed. The file system of LINUX do not allow any virus to infect the system.
