The primary difference between Linux and many other popular contemporary operating systems is that the Linux kernel and other components are free and open source software. Linux is not the only such operating system, although it is by far the most widely used.
Generally a software engineer opts for any one of the two options i.e, either becoming an expert in software coding or being a Linux system administrator . Linux had its roots in the Unix operating System which was developed in the year 1969. Linux serves as an interface for various languages such as java ,c,c++ etc.
Be it railway reservation enquiry or booking ticket flights or checking online movie tickets .each and everything is saved in a database which is handled primarily through LINUX . Besides its a virus free platform so your hard disk and OS would suffer no problems . Its free and available and doesnt requires any licence format. A bit complex than normal windows but completely safe and knowledgeable.

Some people think it is difficult but its not true because in daily use we are using windows. If we use Linux daily instead of windows then we easily get familiar with Linux.
In today’s market of software their is lot off competition in getting first in line.Open Source software’s is a software is free to use,and it’s source code is freely available and anyone can manipulate the code and give his contribution to make that software more enhanced.When Microsoft,Apple is selling their operating system at a huge price,Linux is breaking their monopoly.you can use this without paying anything and this will provide you all the necessary requirements without any trouble.It’s virus attack free and presently their are lots off distributions of Linux e.g.Red hat etc.This will give a lot of support to software researchers.
Today the programming world is divided into two major camps- the Windows and the Linux world. Since its humble beginning about a decade ago, Linux has steadily drawn the attention of programmers across the globe and has successfully created a community of its own . But before one decides whether to join Windows or Linux camp, one must first get familiar with both of them. And I think that the above article is sufficient enough for proper knowledge about Linux operating system.
