I have been using Linux for a while now and I have always wanted to know what makes Linux so secure. Is it because most distros are open source developed and the kernel is always being changed? Is the kernel always being changed? Why is Linux so secure?
PS- I love GNU/Linux!
Thank you everyone, all of the answers have answered my question. I don’t know who to pick as best answer, so I’m going to let you guys decide. Thanks =-)

Include all GNU Linux Distros under Linux…

I know
MS Windows, Linux and Macintosh… others?

I’m hoping to set up a project for developing an MS Windows open-source program. Is there an organization for Microsoft Windows open-source software development which is similar to the GNU/Linux organization?

I have been trying to uninstall this thing forever, since i have found cheese.
please help.

I have a Windows Vista computer, if i install GNU/Linux is it possible for be to switch from Gnu/linux to windows when start the computer? I do a lot of audio/video editing and i was thinking of Dynebolic but then this question came up. Another question; is it possible to put GNU/Linux on a CD so if the CD is in the PC it starts GNU/Linux and if it isn’t it doesn’t start GNU/Linux? Thank You
Um also, you might have to make things simple for me, im not very advanced in computers

All GNU/Linux distros and FreeBSD can never detect my router, or my wireless adapter, or my NIC card the only way I get internet is if I have a ethernet which I don’t.

This question has been on my mind all summer long. As I prepare for class in the fall I have been searching the interw3bs for a new laptop. This reason for wanting one is I have been using a eMac running Fedora 8-12 and I love it, but I think it is time to move on to something more portable. My three biggest concerns with buying a new notebook are in this order

Functionality (Programs "just work". and Program compatibility)(GPU, CPU,ect.)
Battery Life (7 hours or better —–> would be nice if i can get that performance on GNU?Linux)
Aesthetics (Oooooooo Shiny)

I am going to college to become an engineer. I don’t know which field of engineering but I know I want to build a better future for my home town and small villages in the 3rd world. The software I use now is all open source but don’t know if I can get away with using it in a college environment where AutoDesk and Adobe are king.

Thoughts

Thank You in advanced.

I don’t mind Apple’s closed system when it comes to iTunes and all that I have ways around that. But, they are showing great interest in F/OSS. Even if I run Windows ( another closed system) i still have to pay for the software. Might as well go closed source with open source benefits.

im going to be building a beowulf cluster supercomputer. im looking into the open source OS. is ABC GNU/LINUX a full operating system or a client in which works with Ubuntu to cluster?
