Alternative Operating Systems

Hello All!

We've had an excellent semester learning about Vista, but we all know that there are other types of operating systems other than Vista as options open for perusal by the user. For example, two readily come to mind: MacOS and Linux.

MacOS is a rival to Vista in terms of stability and features, as well as accessibility and custom options. The various attachments that come with extras (such as a "time machine" feature for the recycle bin) are well worth examining as well. However, it does cost a good chunk of change for such stability.

Which brings us to Linux, a free-source, bare-bones operating system that can run a computer without all the uneeded extras. It also is unique in the fact that one can tweak and reprogram it to their needs and their hearts delight. There is one provision for all this, though; if one reprograms a whole new feature, it must beshared amongst all Linux users.

Hope the info helps!
