Ya Linux is virus free OS, How??
Answer: Linux OS Extracted files and folders are kept hidden which cannot be accessed by viruses.
Now what are Viruses??
Viruses are the files which carry the path-name of the WINDOWS FOLDER present in Windows OS where all the functional .(DOT)dll files are stored. Once these .dll files get corrupted then the PC starts behaving like a mad bull.
So, these .dll kind (not the same format files) of files are also their in Linux OS but they are kept hidden, as a result the virus path cannot find them. Thus, no damage but still the files stored by the user on a Linux machine get corrupted.

Why is Linux operating system said to be a virus free operating system?
Virus free is not true at all. However, virus writers have a harder time in a linux environment. and linux distros don't run as admin/root by default .

How do you remove IE5 files?
You cannot remove this program easily as Microsoft is out to bug you. Best to change to Linux operating system and not help Microsoft. Easier said than done though.
What is the cleanest looking operating system?
Operating systems graphical user interfaces (GUIs) can be customised and modified by the user to various degrees so they cannot be truly said to belong to the OS or be "cleanest". However, on of the cleanest OS interfaces available by default is Xfce for the Linux operating system. Also, the absolute cleanest interface is a command-line interface, of which many OS's possess, among which Windows (all versions), GNU/Linux, various flavours of Unices etc.
What Linux distribution or other open-source operating system is best for a 1 GB hard drive?
Lots of Linux distributions, and other free operating systems, will fit on a 1 GB hard drive. The real question is what you are trying to accomplish with said operating system. For a small desktop system, look at: Puppy Linux Damn Small Linux Feather Linux QNX (free for personal use, partially open-source) KolibriOS AROS Syllable For a server, almost any server edition of Linux will work, such as: Ubuntu Server Fedora Debian (do a netinstall, and install only the parts you need) With some tweaking, you could probably also fit a standard Debian, Slackware, or Gentoo. Although I wouldn't recommend it, you could use the same method for putting Ubuntu on a 1 GB flash drive for a hard drive as well.

The most common operating system and the most common application software used?
The two most commonly used operating systems are Windows XP and Windows Vista. If you consider all versions of Windows to be the same product, then the most know about operating systems are windows and mac OS X but Linux is used more than mac.So the two most used operating systems are windows and mac. Microsoft even said that Linux is more of a threat than mac.
Why is the Macintosh operating system best to use for scientists?
Mac OS X is the best to use for scientists because many experiments and their subsequent data acquisition scripts are run on clusters of UNIX/Linux machines. Since Mac OS X is based on UNIX, and has UNIX tools such as a bash shell built in (Applications > Utilities > Terminal), the Macintosh operating system is a clear choice for both scientific work (where Linux would suffice as well), but also personal computing, where one may desire a more easy to use, beautifully executed, and a more mainstream operating system than a Linux distribution can provide. I am a scientist, and a user of the three major OS choices that are normally talked about, Mac OS X on a MacBook Pro, Windows 7 on a ThinkPad, and Fedora (open-sourced Linux OS courtesy of Red Hat) also on that ThinkPad, and I must honestly say that for a single OS that combines work and play into a excellent package, Mac OS X is a clear winner. Many will say that Linux is progressing and becoming more user friendly and cohesive, and that is completely true; however, at this point in time, I would still choose to get another MacBook Pro because the attention to detail is tremendous, and leads to a fantastic computer for one to use. Linux can be made into a very nice operating system, both operationally and aesthetically, but to get it running like a Mac requires much, much work, and if something goes wrong, you really don't have anyone to point fingers to since the operating system is, after all, free. Linux is great for large scale scientific computing, a scalable operating system that can be cloned without licensing issues and distributed across thousands of computers for no cost, at least no cost for the operating system itself. Mac OS X is great for a personal machine, but can also interface with a UNIX/Linux cluster seamlessly if need be. In addition, as a scientist, I'm also a substantial programmer, and the UNIX tools on Mac OS X makes programming a pleasure (bash shell, X windows system, etc..), though I find it very inefficient and plane annoying on Windows. Linux is also great for programming, but like I've said, the fit and finish of a Mac is leagues above a Linux distribution, and thus is my operating system of choice.
