basic operations

[Anil Kumar Sharma]

Windows give freedom to install new programs any where, including default.
In a way this flexibility is good if one nears full capacity of the
partition. Under Win, almost all programmes can be relocated some way after
install or by re-installation. Under Linux rigid rule "not relocatable" is
prevalent. Under Linux some programmes will go to users home directory! I
have realplay lying there.
But at the end of day Linux is liked for the challenge it poses
to manage and Windows for daily survival.
Hey - that's unfair!
