What is the difference between Windows NT and Linux?
There are many differences between Windows NT and Linux. Skipping over the obvious ones ( Windows NT is made by Microsoft, Linux has a higher server market share, etc...), probably the most interesting difference is how security is structured. Linux's basic security / permissions structure is modeled after that of older Unices. Different users are assigned different privileges, and a single "root" user can do anything. Windows NT has no "root" user, and no single account has absolute power. In theory, this makes NT more secure, since more accounts would have to be compromised to gain control of the system. In practice, a single "Administrator" account is all that is usually needed to hijack an NT system, and many Linux distributions disable the root account by default.
