    its free os and not paid os like microsoft windows.
    their is a complete set of softwares for existing one
    eg:
    ms office 07 -open office
    internet explorer -firefox
    outlook -evolution
    bit torrent -transmission torrent client
    windows media player-movie player
    important all are free ware.

    pros:
    1.all softwares are freeware you can download them free of cost and they are open source too..
    2.you can share it with your friends too
    3.Does not reqire ANTI VIRSUS and firewall
    but they are available if you want them for free

    I just wanted to say
    google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux&cts=1258726481035&aq=f&oq=&aq i=g10
    and you ll get more than what you asked for but the response from a forum member prompted me to clarify little bit more.
    When using the term free software - they specifically point out the freedom/liberty that comes along with FLOSS (Free, libre open source software ) let alone the price(Its little bit philosophical in nature)
    for general public anything that starts with free is always welcome because it's the price that matters to them.
    for some interesting links
    gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
    gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html
    In short it's all upto you to like it or dislike it.

    there are so many distros available

    Linux is a true 32-bit operating system that runs on a variety of different platforms, including Intel, Sparc, Alpha, and Power-PC (on some of these platforms, such as Alpha, Linux is actually 64-bit).
