About Linux
Linux is an open source operating system that was developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. With a growth rate of 212 percent in 1998 and 17 percent market share in the server market, Linux is fast becoming the leading choice for organizations looking for a more robust and reliable alternative to the Microsoft dominance in operating systems.
Linux is noted for its extremely low maintenance cost and stability. The Linux platform is known as a "non-crashing" operating system.
