[color=#000000ost_uid0]Linux is an open-sorce (anyone can modify and redistribute the source for free with little restrictions) operating system that can do what windows does a lot better, but unfourtunatly is compatible with less progarms. (Without WINE, that is.) Since it is open-source, there are may types. I read that Linux.com has a good list, but you can download most of them free-and perfectly legal!- at www.linuxiso.org. It's based on UNIX, a not-very-user-friendly OS. Normal Linux is command-line (DOS is command-line), but when paired with a program called X11, it adds a windows-like [bost_uid0]GUI[/bost_uid0] ([bost_uid0]G[/bost_uid0]raphical [bost_uid0]U[/bost_uid0]ser [bost_uid0]I[/bost_uid0]nterface). AFAIK, less than ten viruses affect Linux.

Anyone finds holes in my explanation, do what all l337 Linux users do: fix 'em![/colorost_uid0]
