Why Linux?
1. There's no single owner for Linux. Linux is the combined effort of many a thousand programmers. But then so is Windows, and NetWare, and Mac OS and Delphi, and VB, and any other software that you may care to add to the list.
2. Cornerstone of the Linux effort has been the peer review, that not only the software but the source code itself is subjected to.
3. Documentation- Linux's documentation-the how-tos as they are called -is some of the most extensive hands-on guide that you can get.
4. Linux is customizable like no other software.
5. Support- One of the stated plus points of commercial software is that there's a structured support program that you can avail of. But reality is often different. Those of you who have had occasion to ask for help would know that often it's not from the structured support programs, but from non-structured ones like user groups and Internet news groups that you get more precise and faster help.
6. Linux doesn't need the latest, fastest, hardware to run on.
7. And last but not the least, because it's free.
Red Hat Linux and Debian Linux are not different.
Linux is essentially safe,secure and robust.
Security: class C2 is a rating granted by the Natinal Computer Security Center (NCSC) for software that have been evaluated against the Defence Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC).
C2 security class requires individual logon with password and an audit mechanism.
