No need to use antivirus~

I use Linux becaus I love its desktop effect (Compiz Fusion) and also to deskmod

Linux is fully configurable because it is open source. On networking side, it is definitely on par or more powerful than Windows Server in term of configuration and flexibility.
And the number of open source applications available for every task that we ever wanted to is staggering...

Fed up with Windows. Every few months I need to either take time to defragment it or fresh install it.

Windows installation:
1, Windows copy
2, Drivers + numerous restart
3, Software installation

Ubuntu installation:
1, Install from live CD
2, Er...

Somehow, both system get my job done, but maintenance wise I would go for Ubuntu. After all, it is not too bad to learn another new system.

Any lowyat shop offer fully compatible Ubuntu desktop ?

Linux or Ubuntu or GNU\Linux or whatever u call it is fully compatible with any PC that u can find on the planet.
and that thing is crap.. kiddies toy.

I use Linux because my friend recommends it.
No virus, very fast, does not hog memory.

Although it's maybe they gonna have it, but for me it's also very difficult to find it in LYP.
And I don't think in Malaysia will be 40% of notebooks/laptops/desktops/ sold with Linux OS inside because currently this country still being ruled by Microsoft/Windows....

err..all countries being rules by ms windows unless you can find a country called linux nation.

For me;

1.i can yum (fedora) everything and get what i want.john also have in the repo
2.compiz fusion?
3.no virus, no crack whatsoever.
4.free? live without piracy.lol
5.computer cikai also can run linux with desktop effect.
6.root = root and administrator = sucks

will be, but soon.....

1.No virus
2.Open Source@ free edition
3.No need to install driver
4.No "hang"
5.get more experience/explore new thing
6.bored with the same OS (WinXp) 25 years ago

M'soft is still dominating the share here in Malaysia. Plus not many people know about the existence of this OS. Most of us will be like heck yeah, I heard about Linux
before with the tux penguin but I've never used it. I was having the same dilemma too last time not until I tried Ubuntu for real I was so fascinated with its technology.
I couldn't agree more that Linux has many weirdo commands and it seems like most of us are not really familiar with the hard disk system.

Yeah, but it takes time to understand. And for me, some of my friends asked me 'Ever heard of Linux or not ?' I said 'Yeah, I know and I've used them' They said what's that I've explained to them as far as I know A-Z maybe, and they said 'Naah, free software neither means privacy or rubbish' I thought in my mind, what's wrong with them, short minded or what?
That's why, we as the Linuxers to spread the goodness of Linux.
Support LINUX

I use linux bcos my boss, my tech. dont know about linux, its make me important in this company.
I use linux bcos I can setup fax server..mail server..dhcp..squid..sms gateway without any cost. my boss like it. haha

well i don't mind not having useless people in our community



plus it is also a deter people from messing with my computer.
like having a manual sports car, your friends whom are used to auto's won't ask "can i drive?"

it can be supported by low end laptop/computer.

its free as a terminal computers in my company

Linux box is always the best. Far superior than any Win base in regards to processing capability, virus control, transparency, heavy duty processes, millions transaction with ease and many-many more...
