What is the coolest thing you can do using Linux that you can't do with Windows or on a Mac?
Linux 让 Windows 或 Mac 望尘莫及的活计
1. Upgrade to the newest version legally and without paying money
合法免费升级到最新版本。
2. Have the latest version of the operating system run faster than the previous version on the same hardware
在相同硬件上，最新版操作系统比旧版跑得更流畅。
3. Easily install and run different graphical interfaces if I don't like the
default setup
把不喜欢的缺省图形界面换成其它的，易如反掌。
4. Install twenty programs with one command
用一行命令就可以安装二十个程序。
5. Have the system automatically update all my installed programs for me.
让系统替我自动更新已装的所有程序。
6. Install the same copy of my OS (Ubuntu) on multiple computers without worrying about license restrictions or activation keys
把我的OS（Ubuntu）拷贝安装到多台电脑上，而无须担心许可限制（转注：但要受GPL限制）或激活码。
7. Give away copies of the operating system and other programs that run on it without breaking any laws, governmental or ethical or moral, because it was all intended to be used this way
分发linux操作系统及其附带程序，不违反任何法律（政府的或伦理道德的），因为它天生如此（译注：指自由分发）。
8. Have full control over my computer hardware and know that there are no secret back doors in my software, put there by malicious software companies or governments
掌控自己的电脑硬件，并清楚使用的软件里没有被险恶的软件公司或政府留下隐蔽后门。
9. Run without using a virus scanner, adware/spyware protection, and not reboot my computer for months, even when I do keep up with all of the latest security updates
跑起来无用防毒、防广告／间谍；并且我的电脑连续几个月运行也不必重启，其间一直跟随所有最新安全更新。
10. Run my computer without needing to defragment my hard drive, ever
使用电脑而无需磁盘碎片整理，从来不用。
11. Try out software, decide I don't like it, uninstall it, and know that it didn't leave little bits of stuff in a registry that can build up and slow down my machine
试用软件，觉得不喜欢，就卸载它，并且知道不会在注册表留下一丁点东西使系统肥胖而拖累机器。
12. Make a major mistake that requires a complete reinstallation and be able to do it in less than an hour, because I put all of my data on a separate partition from the operating system and program files
一个小时内完整重建由于严重失误而崩溃的系统，因为我把数据放在与操作系统和程序文件隔离的独立磁盘分区。
13. Boot into a desktop with flash and effects as cool as Windows Vista on a three year old computer...in less than 40 seconds, including the time it takes me to type my username and password to login
三年前的旧电脑，开机进入到和Windows Vista一样华丽的桌面...在40秒以内，包括敲进用户名和密码的时间。
14. Customize anything I want, legally, including my favorite programs. I can even track down the software developers to ask them questions, contribute ideas, and get involved in the actual design/software writing process if I want to
定制我想要的任何东西──完全合法──包括喜爱的程序。能够抓住软件开发者，向他们提问、建议，如果原意的话，还能参与实际设计／编程过程。
15. Have 4+ word processor windows open working on papers, listen to music, play with flashy desktop effects, have contact with a largely happy community and have firefox, instant messaging, and email clients all open at the same time, without ever having had to beg someone for a code to make my os work, and without the system running so slow it is useless
四个以上文字处理器窗口打开着文档，听音乐，启用华丽桌面，联系大量愉快的社区，还有firefox、IM（即时信息）、以及email客户端，这些同时打开，从来不用为系统正常运行而不得不乞求某人的代码，也不会让系统变成蜗牛而无用。
16. Use the command "dpkg --get-selections > pkg.list" to make a full, detailed list of all software I have installed, backup my /etc and /home directories on a separate partition, and you are able to recover your system any time, easily
用命令 “dpkg --get-selections > pkg.list” 详细地列出全部安装的软件清单，备份 /etc 和 /home 目录到独立的磁盘分区，这样，任何时候都很容易进行系统恢复。
17. Run multiple desktops simultaneously, or even allow multiple users to log in and use the computer simultaneously
能同时跑多个桌面，以至于允许多个用户同时登录使用电脑。
18. Resize a hard disk partition without having to delete it and without losing the data on it
调整硬盘分区大小时，不用删除它，也不会丢失上面的数据。
19. Use the same hardware for more than 5 years before it really needs to be replaced...I have some hardware that is nearly 10 years old, running Linux, and still useful
硬件使用寿命超过五年，直到你觉得确实需要更换...我在Linux下的一些硬件已经跑了将近十年了，还相当有用。
20. Browse the web while the OS is being installed!
安装操作系统时还可以上网浏览！
21. Use almost any hardware and have a driver for it included with the operating system...eliminating the need to scour the internet to find the hardware manufacturer's website to locate one
操作系统几乎涵盖任何硬件及其驱动程序...避免上硬件厂商的网站寻找驱动程序。
22. Get the source code for almost anything, including the OS kernel and most of my applications
能获得几乎任何源代码，包括操作系统内核和大部分应用程序。
I could go on, but that's long enough.
还可以继续，但这些已经够长的啦。 |
