Yes Linux is an Operating System (OS), just like DOS or Windows 95 thru XP. It is a simplification and an extension of the UNIX operating system that emerged before DOS existed. It is a simple, non propritary, and very powerfull. The beauty of Linux is that when properly configured, it is much faster than Windows, and will operate with speed on even 486 computers. Boot times with Linux are two to three times faster than any version of Windows, and lockups are virtually non-existant. If you install a second hard drive in your system, then install a version of Linux (I like Red Hat), you will be converted. Much tighter code (less overhead) than Windows. Requires more hand holding than Windows for installation, but once you get the right drivers installed, it will blow you away. But then, I'm a speed and stability freak.
