Ubuntu supports a large number of file systems, including ext2 (read/write), ext3 (read/write), ext4 (read/write), ReiserFS (read/write), JFS (read/write), XFS (read/write), FAT (read/write), and NTFS (read, additional software available for writing). With the exception of NTFS, it can also boot off of the above file systems.
Out of the box, Ubuntu does not support ANY Windows programs, released by Microsoft or not. If you install Wine on Ubuntu, With Wine installed, you can run Visual Studio .NET 2003, but no later version.
The standard C library-functions do not support record-oriented file-access.Neither do the common operating systems like Windows and Unix.So basically the answer is no.
Files are needed to store a program's source code. The compiler uses these files to create object files which can then be linked by the linker to produce an executable code file. However, not all systems support the concept of a file, thus files are not actually considered part of the C standard and therefore files are not needed. They are simply a convenience when programming upon systems that do support the concept of a file.
Ubuntu is a free, supported debian/linux implementation of Unix. As such, you can do nearly anything that you can do in Unix in Ubuntu.

WAV is a file format. There is no difference between a WAV file on Ubuntu and a WAV file on Windows.
By default it should be using the ext3 file system, but you have a choice of several, including ext2, reiserfs, etc. Newer versions of Ubuntu tend to install as ext4 file systems, however if you've upgraded from an older version then you'll keep your original file system.
Almost all Linux file systems are secure, so you're best off using latest non-development file system: ext4
The operating systems that support GnuCash software are: Microsoft Windows XP, Vista and 7, Mac OS X and Linux Fedora, Mandriva, Redhat/Centos and Ubuntu.
Ubuntu uses many file formats, many of which are shared with Windows and Macintosh. The partition format the Ubuntu generally uses is an ext4 filesystem.
ntfs
Yes. Heck, that's what most of Ubuntu was written in.
Ubuntu uses the ext4 file journaling system, which doesn't get fragmented.
Any FAT and NTFS.
NTFS supports disk quotas. The varieties of FAT do not. UDF and ISO9660 and similar removable media file systems do not support disk quotas. NFS and SMB network file systems will honor any disk quotas that their server enforces.
Yes, you can buy operating systems from companies like Microsoft and Apple on CD/DVD or as a dowloadable file or package to be placed on a flashdrive. You can also get one or more systems (legally) for free, like Ubuntu.
The normal common file system is ext2 or 3.
