Why you will soon be using Linux instead of Microsoft products

Why I like Linux:

Choices

Many tools are available
to keep your computer up to date
and install/remove programs

• rpm
• up2date
• yum
• apt
• synaptic

WizarDave's recommended method of:

• keeping your programs up to date
• installing and removing programs
• NOTE: Similar to Microsoft's Windoze Update
• The big difference being that you have choices.

Use the apt - synaptic combo

NOTES:

• I use Fedora Linux.
• Checking for updates should be the first thing you do after a fresh install.

It's all about having choices
That's the biggest reasons I prefer Linux over Windoze.
