Linux

Since I am a computer science student, I am very related to the linux world and I can say that this operating system, or rather, every distribution is a great alternative to the most commercial systems like Windows or Macintosh, mainly because of the cost; they usually can be downloaded for free, and there are a lot of application developed which are under free lincenses and can be shared without any trouble.

The main problem when switching to linux for begginers is that this system is a little more complex so it is required to search for information and tutorials, and spend some time trying to understand the main differences with other systems, but this is not a problem, because in internet there exists a big amount of pages which have guides, tutorials, and answers to any kind of question.

Every day linux is getting more adepts, because it can be found distributions that are focus to specific fields, for example, administration, games, security, medicine... and maybe this OS becomes the system of the future.
