Why is UNIX considerd a good OS???

Is it compatible with alot of things? Does it draw very little RAM? Are there almost no virussen for it?
Is it easy to use? Do you don't need an up-to-date very good computer for it?

Those may be some things about it but i just want to know?

your unix concept... as S.O...
UNIX=FREEBSD,NETBSD,OPENBSD,BEOS,MACOX,SOLARIS......................
try one of this distrib

yes, yes, yes, sorta and no. It's easy once you get used to it and then it's very easy to go from one UNIX to another..

And i dont see M$ everywhere
And i get to use the command line better
And it gives me a MUCH higher feeling of control, nothing M$ products could get near
And it can run the hardened kernel, M$ havent even released anything similar
And it can handle RAW Packets a hell of alot easier

Those are a few of the reasons I use linux... Also, open source really is a community, even if its free.. And during the course you start reading some german guys notes on bagging some russian guy for writing such unstructured work, everyday theres something new.

Did you know almost any linux system with samba installed can fool your Windows machines into thinking its a Primary Domain Controller / WINS Server and more... Windows XP can do all of this, but Mr Gates has decided that if its even remotely for server use, XP shouldnt have it, i like servers.

But i hate Linux, cuz it doesnt know my Hardware and it is not easy to use such as Windows!

so when something works against you you just quit and start hating it?
and it could be that it doesn't support all hardware's directly.. but most of the times you can get it it work.. google for it I'd say.. in windows all hardware's doesn't have to work directly too.. you have to install drivers.. in linux we use modules.. you could think of them as 'drivers'

Serhat

where can i get it???

freebsd is a nice one to start on
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1...irrors-ftp.html

but...
"If you don't know what you need Windows NT for, you don't need it."
sorry to quote from bill gates in a UNIX discussion but you get the idea.

@GekAapie: www.distrowatch.org

Read through atleast the top 10 list, then choose one that suits you, keep in mind, you can always try another for free... But thats the site which taught me about linux's variants
