Linux - Effective (Part I)
Six months ago, I switched to Linux. But now I don’t want to start another holivar about three families of user OSes, I’ll just talk about what I’m doing in Linux easier than in Windows Vista Ultimate or Mac OS X 10.4.7, or both combined.
I must say right away that this is entirely true for Ubuntu 7.04, which I recently switched to from OpenSuSE 10.2.
Part I.
And if you add here good security, the absence of viruses and speed / reliability, a simple and convenient interface (GNOME, for example) then in general, so to speak, Paradise on earth has arrived.
To be continued ... .

Update 1.
In addition, Linux is gaining momentum faster and gaining new features than competitors. Indeed, according to the principle of free software, if something has already been done, it is available in the source for everyone, and thus, developers around the world do not have to reinvent the wheel every time. As a result, linux programming is many times smaller, and productivity is higher. Due to the reuse of the results already obtained and the free exchange of knowledge.

- Software Installation
Almost all programs are in the Ubuntu repositories on the Internet, or directly on the installation DVD. To install, just tick the program in the package manager, and it will install. No questions asked. Without further-further-further-enter the serial code-further-further-further-restart-ok. - System update.
Can be produced in two clicks. At the same time, absolutely everything is very simple - from basic OS packages to small user utilities. And all through a simple standard wizard. - Programming in php.
This is my profession. There are no options - Linux. Installation and configuration of all necessary packages - a dozen clicks in the package manager and two minutes of waiting for the download. You can argue for a long time about the advantages and disadvantages of php, but if you write on it, Linux is the best choice. - Customize the look for yourself.
Here, too, Linux is ahead. Absolutely everything is customizable. You can achieve the appearance of whists, makos and others like them. A huge number of gorgeous themes and tools to create your own. Separate conversation - graphic effects. At the moment, the beryl package provides all the features of whist and makos (three-dimensional table, blur, transparency, animation effects, etc.), and unlike competitors, everything is tuned to the smallest detail here. - Listening to music.
Players can work with a profile on last.fm, listen to its radio, podcast tapes, receive information about tracks from the Internet, perform searches, dynamically update the library, etc. - Convert video.
I need to compress the video to the phone. Instead of a cracked SmartMovie, an excellent iriverter utility is used here, which can be quickly compressed into 320x240 with the specified bitrate. - Bluetooth
There are excellent utilities that allow you to view the file system of the phone, use headphones and send sms ... - Removing stuck tasks.
Haha There are big problems with this, both in Windows and in poppies. This is done there not immediately, and with a creak. Here - with a bang. By the way, the question is what happens to your Windows when you insert a disk into the drive. That's right - Windows sticks for a while, digesting it. Even starting at such moments swings open with difficulty. Bayan about floppy disk formatting is recalled, right? ..
And if you add here good security, the absence of viruses and speed / reliability, a simple and convenient interface (GNOME, for example) then in general, so to speak, Paradise on earth has arrived.
