Victor's Blog about the Web, Security and Life

The web for me is a hobby where standards and best practices are daily bread. Security is a concern that everybody must be aware of its details for IT in general, and the web in particular, to be a safer place. My life, on the other hand, is that of a regular Lebanese citizen where politics and social issues are discussed on a daily basis. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and make sure to drop me a comment about any topic you find interesting.

Linux happens to be my favourite Server Operating System. Why as a server? Simply because Microsoft Windows is still, by far, the best Personal Operating System for a PC. There are major advantages and disadvantages for Linux and Windows and this category is dedicated to list them and explain each and every one of them.

As a teacher at a University, I am always faced with the same question: Why do you dislike Microsoft Windows? Well, I don't dislike Microsoft Windows. I like Microsoft Windows for the personal PC's, I dislike Microsoft Windows for servers. On the other hand, I like Linux for Servers and I tend to like Linux for PC's as well but I still use Microsoft Windows up to this moment on my PC.
