What is the best Linux version to get?

Q. I've been using Windows ever since I was 3, so that's 12 years ago. Now, I'm using Windows Vista, but I would like to give it a try with other OS. So which is the best version of Linux (since it's free) to get?

Between Linpus, Ubuntu, or something else?

A. Lets Give him An Answer,,,

Dear,
I Have Searched The Best Linux Version Too
But, Really I Found that It Depends On What You Want To Do On that Linux

If you Want Just To Try It
I Recommend Ubuntu Or Kubuntu {KDE Desktop, Easier}
Use It Live, Don't Install, Cuz The Loading Is The Same Between The Installed And Live CD

But If You Want A Full Version With Packages, I Recommend Redhat 9 Or Earlier, It's Amazing; If You Installed All It's Packages; you Will Never Look To Any OS Again

More For Mandriva , Its Good Too

But If You Want It As A Server, We Usually Use Redhat Enterprise 10
Linpus Is A Godd Choice Too, Like Ubuntu

And Don't Forget To Check your Hardware Compatabiltiy, Like Sata Drives, AMD Processor, And More Things
>>>Any Payments For Linux Downloads Will Not Be For The Os Itself, but For The Third Party Packages ;)
Hope This Help

can someone plz tell me the advantages and disadvantages of Linux?
Q. pros and cons of Linux and which versions are better, and why are they better plz.

A. Why Linux Is Better
http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

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
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=44

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 8 (Helena)
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-8-helena

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

INSTALL LINUX MINT WITHIN WINDOWS (not currently available for Linux Mint 8)

To install Linux Mint within windows you will need the earlier release Linux Mint 7 which is built upon Ubuntu 9.04

Linux Mint 7 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=38

Linux Mint 7 has a feature called mint4win based on the Wubi installer (Ubuntu) which enables you to install Linux Mint within windows (Windows 7 run Wubi/mint4win in vista compatability mode)

Mint4Win â A Wubi based Installer for Linux Mint
http://duncsweb.com/2009/09/27/mint4win-a-wubi-based-installer-of-linux-mint/

Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi

You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win 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.

mint4win like 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 LiveCD you have just created and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where mint4win comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.

Once Linux Mint 7 is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint

CURRENT SESSION

Linux Mint 8 ext4 with switchable Beryl 0.2.1* and Compiz 0.8.4

Changing OS from Windows 7 to Linux; Will I need to re-purchase Mathematica?
Q. I recently purchased a home-use license for Mathematica and did a direct download of the Windows version to my computer. I have decided to switch my operating system from Windows 7 to Linux Mint. Will I be able to install the Linux version of Mathematica without having to purchase a new license? I suppose what I'm wondering is whether or not a Mathematica home-use license is OS-specific. Any and all relevant information will be greatly appreciated.

A. Well, here's another way to run Mathematica on Linux. All you need to do is just install a program called Wine. With the help of Wine, you can run almost any Windows application on Linux. So, you don't need to buy another Mathematica. Just install Wine and you're done.
Check out on Google for Wine for Linux.

What linux version is compatible with Broadcom wireless 802.11g card?

Q. I'm looking a linux version compatible with my wireless card but I dont seem to find any. I have SUSE 10.1 and it is not compatible, I think Fedora, Debian and others Ive looked are not either.

Help!

A. Wireless on linux?? You are very ambitious.

At school, how can you send a message to another linux computer using the linux version of command prompt?
Q. I have been trying to figure out how to send a message to another linux computer at school for a while now by using the linux version of command prompt. I have tried using the write command but it says I have write abilities disabled. I have also tried using smbclient -M accountnamehere and it always says failiure to connect to whatever account I tried to connect to. Any help would be awesome.

A. Maybe you as a normal user just don't have the rights to do so. It's probably so for security reasons.

what does the gnu require software developers to do when modifying linux version?

Q. What does the GNU General Public License require software developers to do when modifying Linux version?
distribute? Huh? I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff can someone elaborate for me please... I have a 6 page paper and 4 midterms to study for. Help me out pa pa pa please!

A. The GNU License only requires that you license your modified work under the same GNU license. This is known as attribution. Beyond that you have no other legal obligations. As for distributing your work, I have two suggestions for you.
1. Google Code ( http://code.google.com )
2. Source Forge ( http://www.sourceforge.net )
Both are great for getting your project out there.

Is there a linux distro that will run most windows programs?
Q. I really like linux except for most of the programs i use won't work on it. Is there a linux version that will run Yahoo messenger 10, Itunes 9, Frostwire and google chrome? I really don't like pidgin because of the way i use messenger. I have had very little luck with wine.

A. In most cases there is a Linux version or an open source alternative

YAHOO MESSENGER

Try Pidgin again using the directions on configuration

Pidgin is Ubuntu's default instant messaging (IM) client, at least through 9.04, Jaunty Jackalope. It works for a wide range of protocols, including MSN Messenger, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, IRC, IRQ and Gadu-Gadu

Looking For a Good Free Linux version for kids, that can run without a hard drive?
Q. My niece other uncle(on her father side) gave her old computer, it doesn't run. But thats not the reason I ask, I have a smaller old internet computer, that I feel will be better for her(as I am her mother's bother, and it has a less energy drain then the old Dell has). My niece is only five years old, and all she needs it for is playing games, and doing pre-school work or something.

The linux version should run from a CD, so it must be a small installation, it also should be kid friendly.
ubuntu I would like, as it is nice, and it has the look and feel of windows, but its to large for a cd, maybe several cds, or a Live DVD, but not a cd. The computer had a linux based cd, but it got loss down the line, and it was old, so anything that will run on a CD, that easy to install first off, because i tried to use Damn Small, but I didn't understand the installation process
Thank you basilb101, for clearifing, I thought Mr. Micro was misspelling ubuntu

A. I like the suggestion of Edubuntu but it is a big download/install and liveCD will slow the computer down, i would suggest an install of edubuntu or puppy linux (under 150MB), maybe you could splash out on a IDE compact flash card?
Puppy linux is never truly installed it just moves files from the disk/flash drive to the ram it needs 128MB (i think!) or else a hdd for virtual memory
EDIT; ubuntu/kubuntu/edubuntu/xubuntu are all availabl on a single dvd which would be alot faster than a 700MB download but i don't think edubuntu is available on CD

How can I install and replace the new Ubuntu Linux?
Q. Hello everyone !
I have Ubuntu Linux version 9.04 installed in one partition of my laptop. There's a newer better version that has just been released (10.04) And I want to install it, but at the same time replace the old one completely with the new installation.
What is the best way to do this ? The way that it's less error-prone, or the easiest way.

Note. I have Windows installed as well and I use GRUB for dual booting.

A. Ubuntu 10.04 at present is unstable

For the time being I would suggest staying with Ubuntu 9.04 or perhaps an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 both of which are fine releases

What is the best linux version for a DELL Latitude D600 laptop?

Q. I have a DELL Latitude D600 that was passed down to me by my older sister. The XP on it has some bad malware and is generally corrupted. What would be the best Linux version to either replace it , or do a dual boot?
It is about 5 years old.

A. Almost any distro will install with a dual boot option. Which distro you install depends on how much horsepower you have and what you want to do.

Since there are over 300 distros, and a few CDRWs are pretty cheap, download a few that sound interesting and try them. DSL (Damn Small Linux) or PCLinuxOS minime might be good for a smaller computer, but Ubuntu might run well too.

They're free - take 2. Or 20. Have fun. That's what it's all about. (Until you decide to earn your living doing what you do for fun.)

Does anyone know where I ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with Netgear USB wifi adapter?
Q. Does anyone know where I can get a complete ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with a Netgear USB wifi adapter? I sadly can't burn a DVD with my iPhone yet....?

A. To this date there aren't any current drivers for the netgear usb wifi adapters.

How similar to Linux to OSX an which one is the most similar?
Q. I already have Macs but I also have windows computers. Knowing that I cant install OSX on a windows based system I was thinking of moving to linux.

My question is this. How similar to OSX is linux and which version of linux is the most similar to OSX?

Also a further question would be how easy is to obtain and install the linux version that you recommend and where would I get it from.

A. Because the linux variants do vary a LOT, It ALL depends on the Linux you get.

I think you'll find Ubuntu (Kubuntu for KDE4, Ubuntu for Gnome) to be the best option for a new Linux user. You download it, burn it on a disk, put it in your disk drive and go. It's a great OS and it's completely free. I use it for everything except gaming.

I think you'll find Gnome, Ubuntu's primary desktop interface, similar to a flipped version of a windows-osx hybrid (That happens to come pretty much invincible from viruses.)

There is also Fedora, which is good because it has a neat picture.
There is Red Hat, which kind of sucks.
There is Xandros, which has a really cool-sounding name.
There is Gentoo, which will make all nerds love you, but requires previous knowledge of all programming languages and kung fu.
There is Debian, which is like Ubuntu but without the Ubuntu part,
There is Black Hat, who's existence I can neither confirm nor deny.

Looking For a Good Free Linux version for kids, that can run without a hard drive?
Q. My niece other uncle(on her father side) gave her old computer, it doesn't run. But thats not the reason I ask, I have a smaller old internet computer, that I feel will be better for her(as I am her mother's bother, and it has a less energy drain then the old Dell has). My niece is only five years old, and all she needs it for is playing games, and doing pre-school work or something.

The linux version should run from a CD, so it must be a small installation, it also should be kid friendly.
ubuntu I would like, as it is nice, and it has the look and feel of windows, but its to large for a cd, maybe several cds, or a Live DVD, but not a cd. The computer had a linux based cd, but it got loss down the line, and it was old, so anything that will run on a CD, that easy to install first off, because i tried to use Damn Small, but I didn't understand the installation process
Thank you basilb101, for clearifing, I thought Mr. Micro was misspelling ubuntu

A. I like the suggestion of Edubuntu but it is a big download/install and liveCD will slow the computer down, i would suggest an install of edubuntu or puppy linux (under 150MB), maybe you could splash out on a IDE compact flash card?
Puppy linux is never truly installed it just moves files from the disk/flash drive to the ram it needs 128MB (i think!) or else a hdd for virtual memory
EDIT; ubuntu/kubuntu/edubuntu/xubuntu are all availabl on a single dvd which would be alot faster than a 700MB download but i don't think edubuntu is available on CD

How can I install and replace the new Ubuntu Linux?
Q. Hello everyone !
I have Ubuntu Linux version 9.04 installed in one partition of my laptop. There's a newer better version that has just been released (10.04) And I want to install it, but at the same time replace the old one completely with the new installation.
What is the best way to do this ? The way that it's less error-prone, or the easiest way.

Note. I have Windows installed as well and I use GRUB for dual booting.

A. Ubuntu 10.04 at present is unstable

For the time being I would suggest staying with Ubuntu 9.04 or perhaps an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 both of which are fine releases

what does the gnu require software developers to do when modifying linux version?

Q. What does the GNU General Public License require software developers to do when modifying Linux version?
distribute? Huh? I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff can someone elaborate for me please... I have a 6 page paper and 4 midterms to study for. Help me out pa pa pa please!

A. The GNU License only requires that you license your modified work under the same GNU license. This is known as attribution. Beyond that you have no other legal obligations. As for distributing your work, I have two suggestions for you.
1. Google Code ( http://code.google.com )
2. Source Forge ( http://www.sourceforge.net )
Both are great for getting your project out there.

A. In most cases there is a Linux version or an open source alternative

4 GB HD.

A. Puppy Linux:

Damn Small Linux:

http://www.damnsmalllinux.org

It's been a while but either Mepis or PCLinuxOS is good with small dmachines. I forget which. Linux Mint is supposed to be and I've seen some roll-your-own fubuntus which were out on CD. Xubuntu has actually gotten pretty big and feature laden.

Does anyone know where I ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with Netgear USB wifi adapter?
Q. Does anyone know where I can get a complete ISO of the newest Linux version that knows how to talk with a Netgear USB wifi adapter? I sadly can't burn a DVD with my iPhone yet....?

A. To this date there aren't any current drivers for the netgear usb wifi adapters.

How similar to Linux to OSX an which one is the most similar?
Q. I already have Macs but I also have windows computers. Knowing that I cant install OSX on a windows based system I was thinking of moving to linux.

My question is this. How similar to OSX is linux and which version of linux is the most similar to OSX?

Also a further question would be how easy is to obtain and install the linux version that you recommend and where would I get it from.

A. Because the linux variants do vary a LOT, It ALL depends on the Linux you get.

I think you'll find Ubuntu (Kubuntu for KDE4, Ubuntu for Gnome) to be the best option for a new Linux user. You download it, burn it on a disk, put it in your disk drive and go. It's a great OS and it's completely free. I use it for everything except gaming.

I think you'll find Gnome, Ubuntu's primary desktop interface, similar to a flipped version of a windows-osx hybrid (That happens to come pretty much invincible from viruses.)

There is also Fedora, which is good because it has a neat picture.
There is Red Hat, which kind of sucks.
There is Xandros, which has a really cool-sounding name.
There is Gentoo, which will make all nerds love you, but requires previous knowledge of all programming languages and kung fu.
There is Debian, which is like Ubuntu but without the Ubuntu part,
There is Black Hat, who's existence I can neither confirm nor deny.
