What is the best portable Linux for Windows Lover?

Q. I am looking to play around with Linux and I am wonder which one of the portable Linuxes would be the best for someone who is used to Windows.

A. Hii,

You can Use MANDRIVA, it has the almost same features like windows, I mean myself and many of my friend are using it, and we had find it better over other flavours of linux. Like for Instance.. following are the main features, that we have find Mandriva Linux working as Windows :

(i) No need to download additional packages or plugins to play any audio or video files. As you require in other flavours. for instance in fedora and Ubuntu
(ii) If you want to connect your computer with WIFI, internet, then many a times it has seen that Linux flavors create lots of flavours, as required drivers are not shipped with pakages, you need to download from respective linux forums. No such problem arises with Mandriva, it supports all the drivers to connect with internet, broadcom, WIFI, everything.
(iii) Its packages provide web-cam software as well, where you can even click funny photographs with the software.
(iv) INSTALLATION : easy to install, if compared with other Linux flavours, exception : Ubuntu
(v) Desktop features ,GUI, Terminal are very friendly, and can be easily understood by normal users.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE : If you are looking for powerful desktop features, more animations, more powerful animations and appearance than Windows Vista. Namely you want to concentrate more on looks, graphics and animation feature, go for UBUNTU, provided that you are not looking for more features.

Can you install any software on linux?
Q. If i have linux, can i download any software or buy any computer game, software, etc, and will it play on linux, or is only specific software designed for linux? How does that work, how come you need seperate versions for the different OS?
i thought i clicked on general computers, not sure how this ended up in womens health?

A. hmmm, you posted this in women's health lol. but...linux is different than windows. some windows programs will run in linux, but not all as these are different platforms. whatever you buy will say what platforms it is compatible with

What is the Net View command for linux?
Q. I have been playing around with Linux a lot lately. What is the linux net view equivalent? I can't figure it out for the life of me.

A. If you are talking about a TCP/IP Networks you have a bunch of commands that can act like Netview:

users
groups - Print group names a user is in
hostname - Print or set system name
id - Print user and group id's
logname - Print current login name
printenv - Print environment variables.
uname - Print system information
who - Print who is currently logged in
whoami - Print the current user id and name (`id -un')
who

Now, if you want a command to see network share devices in a MS-Network you should use Samba.

I hope this help you.
