Linux is Timeless

As many of my readers know, I am a huge advocate of the Linux operating system. I recently found a book on linux that was written in the early 1990’s. I was astonished to find that it was very, very simalar to a book on linux that i had read the other day which was written in 2005. I had stumbled onto another great advantage of linux: Linux is timeless. The operating system you can find today is almost exactly the same as the one from many years ago. Sure, a few utilities have been added and updated, but otherwise, no actual difference in the operating system is revalent. The GUI (Graphical User Interface p. goo-ee) is a different story. Many linux distro’s today are decked out in fanciful GUI’s, especially ubuntu and fedora. This provides ease of use for beginners but can be annoying to the Linux/UNIX wizard.
