You must have been hearing a lot about GNU/Linux recently (some call it just Linux, but actual name is GNU/Linux). You must have also heard that its too complicated and it is not for home use. All that you hear is absolutely true, if it is coming from someone who hasn't actually used a GNU/Linux machine.
In last couple of years, GNU/Linux has emerged as one of the most dynamic operating systems. They are full of choices. They can run on almost any machine of the planet, no matter how old or new. There can be some issues with some machines, which do not support GNU/Linux systems because those companies are too small to support something as big as Linux, so the point is should you be trusting those vendors who sell machines which can not support GNU/Linux. If you do, you have already made a wrong choice. So, next time when you go out to buy any new hardware, always ask the shopkeeper if the hardware supports GNU/Linux or not, if it doesn't just don't buy it. Get the one which does support the latest technologies.
Now, is there any latest GNU/Linux based operating system which you can try, and what will be the cost. There are so many GNU/Linux-based operating systems which you can try, but the lastest one being Mandriva 2009. The cost: Zero rupee. How can you get it? Download directly for the site. And unlike Windows or Mac, you will be the legal owner of the operating system and you can also give it to your friends -- for free.
Another important thing, you will not have to worry about installing it on your machine just to see how it looks like. Just put the Live CD or DVD in the drive and restart your machine. Your new operating system will start right from the CD, without even touching your hard drive. If you find it cool, you can go ahead and install it permanently.
What will you be getting along with that? You will get a complete office suite, similar to MS Office, this one is called Open Office, and it comes for free. You also get GIMP, which is am image editor as powerful as Photoshop for home use. You will get the most powerful music player Amarok, movie player like VLC and Totem. For chatting with your friends, you will get one solution for all -- Pidgin, it will allow you to log into Gmail, Yahoo!, MSN and any supported chat programme through this single programme. There is much more for you to explore. But the best feature is no virus. If you start using GNU/Linux, one thing you will never have to worry about is viruses, Trojans, malware and any such dangerous stuff.
Well, don't you think instead of reading any further you should be downloading Mandriva 2009 and feel the fresh breeze after a 'decade' old operating system.
