Are you serious?
This question sounds too much like a joke! Just Google Linux. |

"i'm a windows xp user.
what is this linux?" You mean the linux that you are using now at this LXer's message board? That is a good question. I'm showing just a generic "Linux 2.4.X|2.6.X". |

The question posted here might be a joke (I don't read minds), but you'd be amazed at how many people ask that question when I tell them that I use it. In the tech communities, people more or less understand what Linux is. In the rest of the computing universe, they don't understand what Windows is, let alone Linux. |

Here are some screen pictures of Linux computers.
http://shots.osdir.com/ Here's a list of free applications (18,000+) that come with Linux. http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/ Most software with Linux can be installed with powerful tools such as "synaptic" (and others). Software installation is usually just a point and click operation. http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/action.html |
