Red Hat Enterprise Linux

/nfs 192.168.10.0/24(ro)

Linux is an excellent operating system, with wide support for many types of hardware, very stable and secure, as well as having support for most file formats out of the box.

Although Linux distributions themselves aren't very problematic these days, the main issue migrating users deal with (mostly Windows users) is the fact that many Windows applications aren't ported or designed for use in Linux. Although there is plenty of support and, in most cases, there are suitable alternatives to popular Windows programs, many people feel it isn't familiar enough.

For most of those cases, Wine, the Windows compatibility layer, can run their old programs. However, when this doesn't work, since the compatibility is not yet entirely perfect, it can cause beginners trouble. Just like with a Mac, you have to learn a new and different operating system.

However, since you can dual-boot and run Windows virtually, there are many options to remedy this software availability issue.

Honestly, outside of that, there are few issues with Linux.

Not all version of Redhat Linux is free but you can download many desktop versions free.

No.

First, configure the bios to boot from the DVD.

Second, insert the DVD into a DVD reader on your computer. It will boot to a text menu. Third, use the up/down arrows to select the option.

Fourth, answer the questions as it loads SUSE.

Fifth, if you have specific questions, feel free to ask me. I just finished reading the SUSE Linux Professionals lesson manual and it would be good for me to find some specific categories to research.

You might be able to do it from control panel>performance and maintenance>administrative tools>computer management>storage>disk management. It should show both disks, but I'm not sure if Windows can recognize the Linux partition. If it does, right click on it and either format the drive or remove the partition. I hope this works for you.
