We'll resort to deleting only the most offensive posts, such as those that are pornographic. LinuxWorld believes in the open source model for Linux and its associated GNU utilities. The greatest strength of Linux is that it is open. Linux customers are empowered by this. That empowerment is, in our opinion, what has given Linux the breathtaking momentum it has today.
Operating systems are the foundation upon which the computerized business runs.
Since Linux is built on the open source model, those who build their foundation on today's version of Linux retain control over their own systems, no matter what happens to tomorrow's version. If bugs surface, you can fix them. If you purchase or develop an application that exposes a weakness or limitation in Linux, you have the power to strengthen it to remove those limitations. Simply put, what makes open source software so powerful in the short term is that it isn't subject to the whim of any single person or company. Open source software gives you long-term security because those who resell Linux are bound by law to keep the OS open.
