Linux is the product of a new, collaborative way of developing software. This method of development uses the internet for communication and collaboration between the members of the project as well as to distribute the software to those who wish to use it. This public approach to developing software is called open source development.

What is Linux? Well, it is probably the best operating system that money can't buy! It is free, robust and fast. You almost never get a Blue Screen of Death with Linux! It runs on many hardware platforms including Intel-based PCs.

It can be downloaded from the Internet as easily as you downloaded this web page to view it! It has excellent free online support via the internet as well! In fact, Linux people tend to be friendly and helpful. This is because they are not paid to do what they do. They do it because they want to do it. They love technology and they make their expertise freely available because of this. So you will always find a helping hand out there on the internet, day or night, no matter where you are or what the problem is that you have encountered! You see, Linux people love being the best.

The people who help you on the internet know that they are an essential part of success of one of the greatest technologies on the planet today.

We hope that you will give Linux a try for yourself. We are not a supplier of Linux and neither do we trade any services in it, but we use it and we love it and we can recommend it from first hand experience!
