Page's Introduction

Hello everybody, my name is Jorge Romero, I'm coursing module 13 in AL9 group at CELEX Los Mochis. I have been asked to create a blog in order to evaluate this module. Therefore, I'm going to be posting about something I find interesting and I like so much: Linux.

Worldwide, the operating system found in almost every computer is Microsoft Windows, at home, at school and nowadays, who doesn't have a PC with any version of Microsoft Windows installed on it? But most of us (I think) know Windows isn't a free software, you need to pay for it, but... sincerely, you only buy this operating system when buying a laptop or PC has the system installed already. Usually, we send our machines to someone who knows how to install it, someone who has downloaded it from Internet in an illegal way or if we know how to, we install it on our own. Besides, even a bunch of software has to be bought too, but we still have them for free, the best example for this is Microsoft Office: Word, Excel and Powerpoint, essential software in our life.

Did you know that there are COMPLETELY FREE alternatives for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office? Some of them are even better.

I'm here to introduce you to Linux. I guess you should probably heard of it once. GNU/Linux (conventionally named just "Linux") is a free operating system product of the Linux core, developed by Linus Torvalds and GNU operating system, developed by Richard Stallman. This software is under the GPL (General Public License) created by Richard Stallman that allows you to make use of it, for whatever you want and as long as you want. Along this blog I'm going to be writing about this amazing and free world.
