Linux

Yes, you can. It's called dualbooting. I guess with Linux you mean a Linux Distribution like Ubuntu?

Check the related link if you want to know how.

Sure can. VBA has been ported to Linux and has even a number of graphical frontends to make it easier to use.

Whether Windows or Linux is the better choice depends on the skill set of students & admins and on the policy chosen by the university's IT dept. A university is different from a company or a private individual. Its choice of OS it uses for its employees, students & servers powering their website depends not only on easy of use, Total Cost of Ownership or uptime. By chosing an OS it commits the institution and its members to its use during their time there and even after they leave the organisation after graduation. It's like a bank account, you don't switch to another provider easily after you're used to one. It's a choice of principle that guides the alumni as well. Open source software like Linux offers all the tools that Windows offers, even proprietary applications that only run on Windows can be run on Linux using Wine or CrossOverOffice. Not only Science or IT students benefit from using Linux, it is also beneficial for Alpha(languages) or Gamma(social sciences) students because it enables them access to a toolbox that is free of charge. If student's skill sets are lacking then universities should offer a preliminary course in computing. Given the dangers of unsafe computing that should be mandatory. It's NOT an ideological choice, but a practical and intellectual one. Having Linux skills gives you an advantage, because you not only know HOW to use the OS but also to tinker 'under the hood' if opportune, something not possible with Windows(unless you're a programmer at MS). It's powerful, fast, reliable and you're not depending on closed and expensive technology. You're not 'locked' into buying licences when you're installing new apps. An academic should be expected to THINK and KNOW MORE than an average individual and make informed choices. That even MIT advises the use of Windows to its students is a sign that universities underestimate the intellectual competencies of their students. Independent thinking goes hand in hand with informed choices, NOT the easy option(our students know Windows already...). That said logging onto the university's network should be possible with Linux, OSX and Windows. Students should have the choice to run whatever OS they want on their private computers. Interoperability and openness should be paramount, stimulating intellectual exchange.

Linux is an open source Kernel a key element in any operating system responsible amongst other things for managing memory. A Linux distribution is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, there are many Linux distributions.

Please reword the question.

the attribute value used in the Relative Distinguished Name(RDN) is a CN(common name)

There are lots of animation programs for Linux. More than likely none of them run exactly like Pivot does, but you should be able to accomplish the same things with them. Examples include KToon, Pencil, and Synfig.

It is also possible to run Pivot on Linux by using Wine.

File attributes are not specifically used to run Perl scripts (ie. you can run them without setting or changing them).

You can purchase a Linux wireless router online from retailers such as Amazon. Once on the website, type "Linux wireless router" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the items.

GNU/Linux? Plenty. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Fedora, and many more.

Non-GNU Linux? Android.

Most people do not currently use Linux on their computer at home, so they will be unfamiliar with it. Thus, the employees will need to be taught how to use the new interface and / or software. In a small company, this may be relatively easy, but it will be time-consuming and probably costly to train thousands of employees in a larger company.

Also, a few companies may rely on specialized software that has not been ported to Linux, and cannot be run feasibly with Wine.

Linux started out wanting to do just that, but I have seen even Linux die hard's say that it actually has gottin more complicated. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about computers I would suggest Windows by far. I have Windows 7 on one hard drive and I have Ubuntu (distro) on a second hard drive and I love it, I have nothing against Linux, but I have found you really need to get into the command line and find things on the hard drive more and things like that where you just never would have to at all on Windows, where it holds a newbies hand just about all the time.

So I really couldn't see any distro good for someone that knows absolutely nothing about computers!

In the old versioning system of Linux, it was:

Major.Minor.Major Revision.Minor Revision.

Odd number major or minor version numbers meant those were development releases. Think beta.

But now we're in a new system as of kernel 2.6:

2.6.Major.Minor

So far it seems liek the kernel developers have no interest in changing us to 2.8 or 3.0 at all, often citing the fact that changing those numbers is almost always just for marketing hype.

Also, odd number versions no longer mean they are in active development.

The Major version of Linux now releases every three months, usually intoroducing a lot of nifty new features, removing some, small updates to drivers, bug fixes, etc. You'll often find a lot of rolling release distributions will start developing new capabilities to take advantage of new stock kernel features and to remove features that aren't present anymore. Whereas with discrete Linux distributions it can sometimes take them months to years to provide a new kernel for their system, with the next release.

Linux systems aren't any more prone to physical failure than any other computer systems. If you are referring to a device being incompatible with Linux, the most troublesome are probably controllerless dial-up modems (WinModems).

There is no the file manager. Different environments have different file managers available.

Before you format xp you will need to go onto Linux and create a grub boot disk by typing grub-install /dev/fd0. This will create a floppy disk which you can use to start Linux after you have removed and reinstalled xp. After removing and reinstalling xp use the disk to get back onto Linux and use grub-install /dev/hda to restore the Linux boot screen.

Most webcams work under Linux; it would be very difficult to provide a complete list. This is because support for cameras is based on the chipset they are using, not the name of the actual manufacturer. Most cameras from Logitech, Aiptek, Kodak, Mustek, and Polaroid should work.

In general, no, it is not difficult at all. As long as you stick to the POSIX (and other open standards) and use a conformant compiler for the software there shouldn't be any problem in porting software.

I do it all the time - from Linux to Unix, or Unix to Linux, makes no difference. In fact, a lot of common software is cognizant of the actual Operating System at compile time and will take care of the differences (if there are any).

Dual-boot or multiboot.

"Reboot" means to shut down the computer and restart it. You probably meant "reinstall." Most netbooks, such as the ASUS Eee PC, do not have a CD / DVD drive, but they will come with a disc to reinstall the operating system. You would need to purchase an external CD drive that conected

Linux uses a unified filesystem structure that complies with the filesystem hierarchy standard, which, while not always immediately intuitive, is designed to make it an easier task of locating specific files on the system manually, and also to allow software written for it to be able to predict where its needed files are kept.

None.
