To happen to defend Linux like an optimal alternative for the development of its businesses in Internet is impossible without briefly explaining some of the points that have turned to the GNU/Linux system in one of the most popular systems, safe and recommendable of the network.
Ever since Richard Stallman put hands to the keyboard with the purpose of to develop a free operating system in 1984, million programmers have contributed their sand granite with the purpose of to make work this great project. With the creation of the Foundation for Free Software in 1985, project GNU established a point of contact for all those programmers who were prepared to develop any type of tool, to perfect or to modify the existing code and to turn this project into a global and decentralized software.
Project GNU was in 1991, and thanks to a great extent to the person of Linus Torvalds, with the appearance of the nucleus that could make work its system of operative form 100%. As of 1992, with the distribution under license GNU lpg of the nucleus that Torvalds had programmed based on Unix, it was born what today we know like operating system Linux.
Why we spoke of project GNU to refer all this system to us? The answer is well simple. Really, the present society knows Linux like an operating system, when in fact it is solely the nucleus of a denominated system GNU (GNU's Not Unix). For that reason he will be frequent that you can read in some texts the suitable composition GNU/Linux. Briefly, we could say that GNU is the operating system, and Linux is the program within the operating system that assigns the resources of the machine to the other programs that you execute.
Being based on licenses lpg GNU, the operating system GNU/Linux it is a free operating system. That is to say, of open code. With that freedom, any programmer has access to the source code of software to be able to modify those characteristics that he considers opportune to make work some application programmed by him. If Access BASIC Server LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY used other propietary operating systems of which it did not have the source code of the programs or applications, it could never have developed an application like our exclusive Control Panel, totally integrated in all the services of the system.
Without the licenses lpg GNU, our company it must have trusting in the purchase of an application programmed by a propietary company external of the system in which their pages were lodged Web, which would force to us to depend on the development that this company realized of the tool of management for the improvement of the offered services. This would suppose, besides slowing down the appearance of new applications asked for by our clients, a too high risk at the time of finding possible software failures, since we would not depend on our equipment and our resources at the time of finding possible solutions.
Having available the source code of the applications, we can modify them and make utilities for its administration. We can automate tasks and of adapting them to ours/its needs, we have total control on our systems and we do not depend on third companies that can harm our operation and, which is more important, the operation of the projects Web of our clients.
To have of the source code and an own software also implies a greater security, since when some failure in any service is detected we ourself we can apply the patches of security developed by the community of programmers established throughout everybody, or to even study the modification or adjustment of the corresponding failure through our team of qualified programmers. If we used a propietary system, we would have to hope to that the company in charge of the programming of the management system would realize the pertinent updates of security, risking to us at any moment to that our systems were vulnerable against external attacks.
