The idea behind Linux was to create an operating system that could run UNIX software, but would be free.
So that you can choose to load either linux or (usually) windows.
Sure! Internet cafes can use Linux no problem if they so choose.
Linus Torvalds was the principal engineer who created the Linux kernel, the chief component behind modern Linux operating systems used today such as Ubuntu, SUSE, or Fedora.
There is no such thing. The "default shell" is a decision made by the distributor.
Yes. All that you need to do is shrink the Windows partition so your Linux partition can fit. Then just install the Linux OS into there, and you'll be able to choose which one to boot into on startup

One can find a laptop with Linux at any available online seller. In fact almost all laptops have Linux and in some cases buyers choose to pay a license for Windows. Best places to find laptops with Linux are Amazon, Best Buy and Overstock.
My advise would be to start with a flavor of Linux that closely resembles the Windows environment you're probably familiar with. I recommend Kubuntu Linux 4.01. It is widely available for download for free and you can choose it to run alongside Windows.
you have to know the physics behind it then you can use it easily.
Linux in itself, that is, the core OS is being developed with more stability, security and support for devices and software in mind. Nevertheless, the Linux distributions (or distros) are modeled Linux kernels to fit specific needs and they each have a different trend. They all use the Linux kernel in the core, but the uses and abilities can vary greatly. Check out the different distros and choose one you like. If you are disappointed or don't like it, don't worry, choose another flavor and download, theyre all mostly free. check out www.distrowatch.com
