Q. Hello! I was wondering what are the positive attributes along with the negative of Ubuntu Linux, compared to the positive and negative attributes of Windows 7? If you could answer this question, I would highly appreciate it.
A. Overall a Linux based platform can perform most of the tasks equally as well as a proprietary platform using OSS. However Linux does have its limitations particularly in gaming. My advice is to set up a Dual Boot of Windows and Linux.
There are better distros. than Ubuntu available. I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition Its easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

How can I navigate to a network location using the terminal in Ubuntu Linux?
Q. I am supposed to copy a file from a network location (called Windows Network) on to my network using the terminal in Ubuntu Linux.. Any ideas on how can i do that?
A. In a nutshell, you will have to use the Samba system in order to view Windows Network shares in Linux. Then you can either browse the network shares using smbclient, or mount the Windows share as a folder on the Ubuntu box and copy it from there.
That's basic. If you don't know about Samba, reply back and I'll post the steps to get it all going for you. Or you can read the guide posted in the source below.
