Be Free, Be Linux!!!

I have heard many people talking about free software , but I wasn't really sure its definition and its benefits, that's why I decided to investigate and publish it on my blog.

The definition published by Free Software Fundation in february 1986 had two points:
The word "free" in our name does not refer to price; its refer to freedom. First the freedom to copy a program and redistribute it to your neighbors, so that they can use it instead of it controlling you; for this, the source code must be made available to you.
Now the modern definition has four point; it defines free software by wether or not the recipient has the freedom to:

• Run the program, for any purpose.
• Study how the program works.
• Redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.
• Improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole comunity benefits.

Many people who used Free Software they asure that Free Sotware like Linux is much better than Windows, people whose are not going to change to Linux because is free(many people even don't pay for Windows) but maybe because they see new and good characteristics that Window does not have, so I searched some reasons in the internet, and here we have:

• Forget about virus.
• Linux can be so stable that the majority of users will never see their operating system to be hung, even several years.
• Protection.
• Linux cost anything.

Those are just a few of benefits that we can have in our hands, let's try to be free!!!
