Linux
Linux is a well designed operating system designed to bring any computer to maximum performance, but, it is highly difficult to configure lynix unless your machine meets a small variety of specifications. Once configured a Linux machine will far out perform any Windows based system. Though I am not well skilled in the Unix base system of Linux, I like the setup of X Windows which is the GUI for Linux. GUI's in Linux/Unix are very new, and so run slow on older machines, but if you learn your Unix commands you can run your Linux command shell better than any windows system. I am still highly unskilled in Unix comands but plan to become more familiar with them. The Unix Command Line system of Linux is not as easy as DOS, but then again, it is many times more efficient once you know what you are doing.Windows
Though Linux is a highly capable OS, unless you can get X Windows configured it is difficult to understand without the proper training. For a person who has never used the DOS shell command line, the Unix shell command line interface would be virtually imposible to just pick up and do. I have used Windows, and DOS for many years but have realized that they place many restrictions on the user, and have inadequate security devices and may cause an overly secure feeling of safety with personal information. Windows has many security breeches, and may be bypassed with basic DOS Commands. Linux, on the other hand is not very user friendly and is not suggested for those who have little or no computer knowledge.
