Q. I'm looking for an instruction program in the central San Diego area (not north, east or south county) that teaches the basic commands and and concepts of Unix & Linux. I think there may be something available at the community college system but would like to use something outside of that if possible.
Thanks
Thanks

What is the limitations of Linux compared to Windows?
Q. Linux is the alternative to Windows.
However, it seems Linux has its limitations.
What is the limitations of Linux compared to Windows?
What is it that Windows has but Linux lacks?
Or is Linux just as good as Windows?

A. I suppose I can help you with your homework. Let's start by examining your assumptions:
1. Linux is not the only alternative to Windows. Apple's (Unix based) Mac OSX is a very viable alternative, as is FreeBSD. There are other OS's, but few have the capabilities of Windows, Linux, OSX, and FreeBSD.
---
2. The only real limitation of Linux compared to Windows is that most PC games are release for Windows but not Linux. DItto OSX. Worse for FreeBSD. Some software (eg Cedega) will allow you to play most PC games on Linux, but not all, and not really easily. It is harder to sync your Windows Mobile smartphone to Linux, but then it's not 100pct reliable on Windows either. In every other respect Linux is similar or superior in capability to Windows, with a minor bit of retraining.
-----
3. Windows has a massive install base and widespread vendor support. Linux is not as comprehensively understood and supported. This is why people say Linux is harder than Windows, even though you apply exactly the same learning process to Linux that you did to Windows. Many programs are available for Windows that are simply not operable in Linux due to this vendor support.
-------
4. Linux is better than Windows, because Linux is by nature more secure: the way Linux handles users and permissions naturally limits the scope of a virus or trojan. Linux is also free. Linux also does not participate in thinly disguised blackmail. Linux does not promote vendor lock. Linux presents a similar user experience across hardware platforms. Linux allows a user to leverage training to multiple roles rather than isolating user skills from admin skills.
I could go on for days.

Can linux run windows games and have a start bar to look like windows?
Q. i would like to be able to use the start bar and fallout 3 in linux. can i do that?
A. You do need to stop thinking the windows way, All Linux have start bars with fold out menus click on a menu, click on an application, run the program
you can do anything you want with Linux, you can run windows programs in Linux but it is like everything else you have to learn how to do things, most people cant find the time or don't want to learn new things, They are mentally trained to use and think windows way,
The thing is when Microsoft brought out Vista people rushed out and bought it, then didn't like it because it was different from XP nothing was the same so it was a case of I want xp back on my system
if you are willing to learn then all the help you need is available to you, through the Linux forums Not on Yahoo Answers. though some can answer your question, but you might not get the right answer though
If you like action games then Linux as them as well most windows games have been converted to Linux and there is free online games as well. You can check out Sabayon 4 this has shoot em up 3D games you can run from the live DVD which I recommend you download and try out run it from the live DVD play the games I think you will like it
Link to dowmload it is below
