Linux differ from windows and mac

How does linux differ from windows and mac?

the files aren't really different.. it's based on unix.. so yer its bound to be good ;-)

and remember OS-x is based on BSD

as for installing linux.. it has become a lot easier than when i started, when it used to be on 80 floppy discs.. there is LOADS of help regarding it on the web, even for new people.

The main thing about Linux i would say is stick to major brands of hardware, as they are supported and check the hardware compatibility list to make sure.


as for running windows software, there is a thing called WINE..

might be an interesting read..

as for running OS-x software etc on a NIX machine.hmm never tried..

thing is theres a wealth of decent free software for linux/kde etc which are pretty good.

main reason i keep windows is that the programs I use for music are windows/os-x only..
