Linux was first developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 as a variant of the UNIX operating system. He made Linux to be a open source operating system with a general public license. With this license anybody can download the Linux source code and change the way he wants his operating system to work.
The Microsoft Windows operating system is proprietary software and you need to spend a lot of money for purchasing it. Also it has strict hardware requirements. Linux is a light operating system that can run on even old systems. This is a great advantage if you want to buy a computer for your child who his new to working with computers. Spending a small amount of money is sufficient as you can have a working computer with ease.
The installation of Linux is very simple and it takes just about 30 minutes. Linux is available in many versions and you can download the version you want. The difference lies in the functionality. Certain versions of Linux are graphic based and some of the versions are command based. The graphic based versions are improving day by day and enable the user to access many applications very easily.
If you want your computer to be used for mainly gaming purposes and other graphical uses, you can install the graphical version of Linux. When you are an expert computer user who performs complex tasks with the processor you can use the command based version of Linux so that most of your computer processor is used in processing the task rather than wasting the resources in displaying graphics.
Various softwares can be downloaded for Linux. The open source community is still working on improvising Linux and more and more application softwares are being developed for Linux operating system. The best part is that all software for Linux is absolutely free and you can change the code if you want.
If you want best architectural support for your computer Linux is a great option. Even if you have a old system, you can make it work at a good speed with Linux. Linux can be installed and used in different hardware and for different purposes. Linux exploits the available hardware extensively.
Linux is a stable operating system that never crashes. Even if a system crashes the operating system can handle the problem and recover from the problem effectively. Most of the viruses are designed to attack the Microsoft operating system and you can easily defend your system against spyware and viruses if you have a Linux machine.
The configurability of Linux provides the best architectural support for your hardware. Depending on the type of hardware and its capability you can modify the code of the Linux kernel and you can make Linux bend as you wish. This is great for users who know what they are doing. Linux is a great operating system for those who want to use the existing hardware without spending a huge amount of money.

I love using LINUX and its various distros or distributions. Ubuntu is one of my favourites. It is pretty simple to configure and is open source so anyone can use it for free. Earlier due to the limited size of the Linux community it sometimes became difficult to get drivers for certain devices but now the community has expanded and it is pretty easy to lay hands on most of the drivers needed for day to day devices.
