Q. I very much like Linux and am very new to Windows 7 Professional OS (that's the reason for all the Windows 7 Professional questions on here, which I do appreciate everyone's helpful responses). Can you recommend a Linux OS that would complement Windows 7 Professional OS? A computer technician friend recommend Ubuntu. Thank you in advance, my friends, as I truly appreciate your helpfulness. :-)
A. Dual boot Ubuntu.
You will still be able to access and edit your Windows files from Ubuntu which will make the eventual transition to a Windows free world easier.
Imagine never having to pay for software again, thats life with Ubuntu.

Is it necessary for a physicist to master Linux OS?
Q. Hello everyboby! I have a question about computer operating system,that is: Is it necessary for a scientist to master Linux OS?
I mean physicist and astronomer, I've heard that physicists and astronomers usually use Linux/UNIX, not Microsoft Windows. Is it true? Lots of people say that Linux/UNIX is very difficult to use, I've tried Ubuntu Linux and found it's really hard to use.
Thank you!

A. It would take much more time, study, difficulty and definitely expensive schooling to become a Physicist than a become a Master of Linux. I became pretty proficient in using Linux after about 2 years of just being one of my hobbies. It didn't seem very difficult, just required some dedication to learn new ways to use computers. Linux knowledge is not required for my job, but it certainly has added to my abilities as a computer service and repair technician. It certainly would be useful to know Linux and a programming language like Python if you are going to do any physics or astronomy computer simulations. I have read many comments from Physicists on Slashdot.com, I don't know if it required, but it certainly sounds like a useful skill for them.
What is a good Linux OS that I can install on my windows 98 computer?
Q. Does anybody know a basic linux OS that i can burn to a CD and put onto my old computer?
A. I'm guessing this computer doesn't have alot of Memory since it runs Windows 98. Ubuntu is not a good choice if you have less then 256 MB of RAM Xubuntu will work good down to 128 MB. If you have less than that I would recommend Puppy Linux.
