This chapter will introduce you to some of the more interesting
|
|
features of Linux. This assumes that you have at least basic
|
|
UNIX experience, and understand the information contained in the previous
|
|
chapters.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The most important aspect of Linux that distinguishes it from other
|
|
implementations of UNIX is its open design and philosophy. Linux
|
|
was not developed by a small team of programmers headed by a marketing
|
|
committee with a single goal in mind. It was developed by an ever-increasing
|
|
group of hackers, putting what they wanted into a homebrew UNIX system.
|
|
The types of software and diversity of design in the Linux
|
|
world is large. Some people dislike this lack of uniformity and
|
|
conformity---however, some call it one of the strongest qualities of Linux.
