    Hello dear friends (I am a New member)

    Dear friends/members,
    Aslam o Alaykum,
    I am Saif, a network professional, new member of this community and also, just migrated from Windows. Windows is a good OS but we can say that "Linux is Linux". I salute Mr. Linus Torvalds for such an extraordinary attampt and also we cannot forget the hardwork of Mr. Richard Stallman, who began a movement within software industry & preached that software should be free. GPL is the 'fruit' of Mr. Stallmans work.
    In short, I found that Linux is best for network administration and particularly for research in different fields of computer sciences.


    Regards,
    Saif

    Linux isnt just good for network administration. It is good for so many other things and its rare to find something that Windows does better than Linux. Linux is better to learn how to code on, better for network analysis (as mentioned previously), better to develop software, better at data recovery (live cd's etc), alot more portable and can be run on older machines (puppy linux etc), more visually customizable with the compiz fusion and the likes, can read more data types.. Any other ideas anybody??

    Well, how about that minor matter sometimes referred to as freedom?

    Welcome to the forums.

    Have you ever thought about the stability linux provides. It's more difficult to screw up completely also.
