Linux on my computer

LINUX ON MY COMPUTER

Linux is a computer operating system created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. One of the big advantages Linux has over the other computer systems, such as Windows and Macs is that most Linux programs are "open source" and very cheap. I have successfully deleted Microsoft Windows off my computer, and this has saved me a lot of money!!
