Welcome to Linux For Windows, a site geared towards Microsoft Windows Users. In simple terms: Linux (in most cases) is a free and open sourced operating system, that will run on a Mac or a PC, which is 100% immune from spyware, 99% immune from viruses and is easier to use than Microsoft Windows (again, in most cases). This website is designed to be a quick reference guide to put all of the information at your finger tips. Where to go for answers to questions. What you can get. Where you can get it. How it works. Best of all -- the vast majority of Linux Distributions as well as most Linux Programs -- are 100% FREE OF CHARGE. Thats a price tag which is compatible with anyone's financial situation. |
The LinuxForWindows.net website template is based on the SourceForge website template. SourceForge is an awesome website for finding Linux Software.
