Sorry dat ik er even tussen duik.
Ik heb nooit zelfs een live CD gebruikt van Linux, terwijl ik al een aantal weken geïnteresseerd begin te raken in linux. Voordat ik überhaupt iets probeer wilde ik eerst een goede startbeeld hebben van wat ik kon verwachten, ik heb alle pagina's van deze topic doorgelezen en ik begon via google, de meest idiote zoektermen in te tikken:
linux voor beginners
linux vs windows
linux voordelen
linux nadelen
opbouw linux
Gelukkig kwam ik een boek tegen dat heel beginner vriendelijk was en dat mij al in het begin al een hele goede indruk gaf wat de verschillen waren (of misschien beter gezegd de voordelen):
✦ No rebooting to install—Uptime is valued as a matter of pride (remember,
Linux and other UNIX systems are most often used as servers, which are
expected to stay up 24x7). After the original installation, you can install or
remove most software without having to reboot your computer.
✦ Start/stop services without interrupting others—You can start and stop
individual services (such as Web, file, and e-mail services) without rebooting
or even interrupting the work of any other users or features of the computer.
In other words, you should not have to reboot your computer every time
someone sneezes.
✦ Portable software—You can usually change to another Linux, UNIX, or BSD
system and still use the exact same software! Most open source software
projects were created to run on any UNIX-like system, and many also run
on Windows systems, if you need them to. If it won’t run where you want it
to, chances are that you, or someone you hire, can port it to the computer
you want.
✦ Downloadable applications—If the applications you want are not delivered
with your version of Linux, you can often download and install them with a
single command, using tools such as apt and yum.
✦ No settings hidden in code or registries—Once you learn your way around
Linux, you’ll find that (given the right permissions on your computer) most
configuration is done in plain-text files that are easy to find and change.
✦ Mature desktop—The X Window System (providing the framework for your
Linux desktop) has been around longer than Microsoft Windows. The KDE and
GNOME desktop environments provide graphical interfaces (windows, menus,
icons, and so forth) that rival those on Microsoft systems. Ease-of-use problems
with Linux systems are rapidly evaporating.
✦ Freedom—Linux, in its most basic form, has no corporate agenda or bottom
line to meet. You are free to choose the Linux distribution that suits you, look
at the code that runs the system, add and remove any software you like, and
make your computer do what you want it to do.
Some aspects of Linux make it hard for some new users to get started. One is that
Linux is typically set up to be secure by default, so you need to adjust to using an
administrative login (root) to make most changes that affect the whole computer
system. Although this can be a bit inconvenient, trust me, it makes your computer
safer than just letting anyone do anything.
For the same reason, many services are off by default, so you need to turn them on
and do at least minimal configuration to get them going. Linux can be more difficult
than Windows because it is just different, but because you’re reading this book, I
assume you want to learn about those differences.
Ik liep met het idee rond dat Linux ook met een vorm van registers werkte, dat het ook nodige restarts nodig had voor installatie van software / drivers... etc etc
Nu pas heb ik eigenlijk voor mezelf een beetje helderheid t.o.v. windows... maar goed, misschien heb je hier iets aan of niets... in sommige gevallen wegen de voordelen veel zwaarder dan de nadelen (tenminste...voor mij wel als ik die punten hierboven las)
Maar goed ik ga weer verder...ik ben nog maar een beginnende beginner zeg maar...
