Q. What are the operational differences between Linux and UNIX? Why would a programmer choose one over the other? What about software selection and ease of programming (with already basic knowledge of programming, and wanting to dive in to open source)?
In terms of Linux, what makes things like Red Hat cost money and things like Ubuntu not? Is pay-for OS based on Linux better quality than freely distributed OS? What is the best choice for Linux-or-Unix OS for a budding programmer?

A. What is Linux

Why Linux is Better
http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/
Linux is open source therefore in most cases free of charge with the exception of enterprise releases such as SUSE Linux and Red Hat

What is Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.
Ubuntu is and always will be free of charge. You do not pay any licensing fees. You can download, use and share Ubuntu with your friends, family, school or business for absolutely nothing.
We issue a new desktop and server release every six months. That means you'll always have the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer.
Ubuntu is designed with security in mind. You get free security updates for at least 18 months on the desktop and server. With the Long Term Support (LTS) version you get three years support on the desktop, and five years on the server. There is no extra fee for the LTS version, we make our very best work available to everyone on the same free terms. Upgrades to new versions of Ubuntu are and always will be free of charge.

Here are some options for installing or trying out Linux
Option One (Full installation)
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
Linux Mint 8 Download

Linux Mint 8 Helena User Guide
http://www.scribd.com/doc/23787138/Linux-Mint-8-Helena-User-Guide
You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 8 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 8 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
Option Two (Install Linux inside Windows)
Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu

what is the fastest way I can add song to itunes from frostwire ?
Q. I use frost wire as my search engine for music. And normally when I add songs to my itunes, I have too do it one by one, by opening my shared files, and that's just a pain. So I was wondering if there was a way, that they can all be added all at once. If not its cool.
A. FrostWire is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing program for Windows, OS X, and Linux. The program lets you to share files with other users of the Gnutella network and Bittorrent. With FrostWire, you can share music, images, programs and any other type of file. It's easy to use FrostWire in conjunction with iTunes.
Step1
Download FrostWire to your desktop and install the program. Once it is up and running, switch to the search tab and search for a song. A list of results will appear in the window to the right of the search box. Double click on a file to download it.
Step2
Once the download is complete, navigate to the download folder and copy your songs into iTunes. In Windows, the default location of the download folder is My Documents\FrostWire\Saved. Open this folder and leave it on your desktop.
Step3
Open iTunes and navigate to your music library. To add your new music to iTunes, simply drag and drop the files into iTunes window. They will now automatically appear in your iTunes library.
Step4
With the songs now in your iTunes library, you synchronize them with your iPod just as you would any other song.
