Abstract
Linux is widely considered one of the most secure operating systems available. On a basic level, Linux is built from the ground up to be fundamentally sound, and it allows users to work securely without their even noticing it. For instance, it enforces the system of ordinary users who are limited in what they can do, thus making it harder for security breaches such as virus infections to occur.
