My preference for Linux on my personal machine grows each day. I said it during a job interview – how with Linux updating a software package was as simple as:
In RedHat or CentOS
yum install httpd
Or if you’re running Debian
apt-get install httpd
And it doesn’t require rebooting the kernel. The service just gets invoked by typing
/etc/init.d/httpd start
or if you prefer
service httpd start
Just that simple.
But in Windows almost every software install requires a complete reboot of the OS. It’s stupid.
I always learn so much computer stuff reading your blog.
