Linux, along with most other Unix-like systems, are often considered good programming environments. Often, this is more true of one particular system or distribution than an another. Here are some general reasons why Linux (and other Unix systems) are particularly suited to programming:

  1. Linux (and most Unix) systems are free software. It costs no money up-front to install and use.
  2. Unix-like systems provide easily-accessible programming tools. Most Unix-systems provide at minimum, a C compiler. Other development tools are very simple to install.
