Linux Performance
Linux has been praised for its stability–computers running the Linux OS have
been known to run months or even years at a time without crashing, freezing,
or having to be rebooted.
Linux machines are also known to be extremely fast because Linux is espe-
cially efficient at managing resources such as memory, computer power, and
disk space. In fact, much of the World Wide Web is powered by older comput-
ers running Linux and the Apache webserver. Additionally, organizations such
as NASA, Sandia, and Fermilabs have built powerful, yet inexpensive, supercom-
puters by combining groups of lesser-powered Linux machines and having them
all work together in clusters.
