Best Linux starts straight into a graphical Windows-like KDE-desktop which
includes almost all of the software that you use daily. The multilingual desktop
consist of multiple workspaces to help you group your tasks. You can use one workspace
for work matters, another to surf the internet and a third e.g. for writing a
book. All this is possible due to Best Linux’s superior multi-tasking.
Best Linux supports networks
With Best Linux it’s easy to connect to the Internet. Largely based on Unix
servers, the Internet functions perfectly with Linux, a variety of Unix. You will
notice the difference in its superior performance and security. Best Linux will
not easily become infected by viruses which spread over the Internet. The operating
