Linux

[Mr X.Y.Huang]

Since I sent out a seeking-for-help message (about implementation 
modelling for travellers' behaviour), I have received several pieces 
of reply. Many thanks! I would send more such message in coming days. 
There is one thing I could not quite understand: why Linux OS is 
used? In Imperial College, we have a version similar to Swarm, called 
APRIL,  which also is run in Linux system. I have browsed some Linux 
historical documents which certainly list many many good features of 
Linux. But can any one point out specifically what are advantages of 
Linux over other OSs such as UNIX?
