Les utilisateurs
Linux possède des interfaces ergonomiques de type multifenêtrage
qui permettent à l'utilisateur de travailler à l'aide de
la souris et des menus déroulants (protocole X-Window). Du point
de vue ergonomie utilisateur il n'y a pas de différence fondamental
entre un desktop Microsoft Windows et un desktop Linux.
Il existe aussi des sociétés qui vendent des plate-forme
Linux entièrement configurées, avec des applicatifs. Certaines
d'entre-elles ont des revendeurs en Europe.

Matériels
En fait, Linux a été créé notamment pour
mettre à disposition une vraie machine Unix au prix le plus abordable
possible, et cet objectif a été pleinement atteint. la plate-forme
de prédilection est bien sûr le PC/Intel, mais de nombreux
autres matériels sont disponibles. Il s'en suit que les configurations
matérielle pouvant faire fonctionner Linux sont certainement les
moins chères du marché.
Maintenance
La maintenance d'un système Linux équivaut à la
maintenance d'un système Unix. On connait les grandes qualités
d'Unix en matière de maintenance, de sécurité et de
fiabilité ; ce sont donc aussi les qualités de Linux.
ATTENTION : la communauté Linux produit à une vitesse exceptionnelle. Les progrès réalisés dans les 2 dernières années sont colossaux en matière d'installation, d'interface graphique ou d'applications disponibles. Les Linuxiens, devant leur succès actuel, ne vont certainement pas casser cette dynamique mais au contraire l'amplifier.
