UNIX and LINUX are operating systems the same as Windows, MAC and DOS.  UNIX is usually reserved for PA-RISC or ITANIUM processors in high end servers.  LINUX is an open source version of UNIX.

You should reinstall fedora and set it to overwrite the Windows boot sector. That way you get lilo or grub, whatever fadora uses. Then you can choose either OS from there. The install should set up a Windows chainloader for you. I'm more of a Suze and Gentoo guy myself though.

I'm partial to grape.\n\nOr Red Hat.

The list of fedora mirrors can be found at:\n\nhttp://fedora.redhat.com/Download/mirrors.html\n\nQuite a few of these have cd iso for x86 and other architectures.

7 - Mature (been around a long time, but it still needs a lot more work)\n\n9 - Secure.  There are problems with it, but the whole idea behind how Fedora is being developed goes hand in hand with paying close attention to security and running server type processes in their own sandbox in memory.  The program can do anything it wants in its own sandbox, but it can't break out of that sandbox into other parts of the operating system without permission.  A lot of programs are being updated to work well with Fedora Core and other operating systems that are starting to do this. There are some programs that will barf if you don't give them enough access to the system though, so no 10 score here.\n\n10 - Cost. Free. Enough said.\n\nFedora, Suse, and Ubuntu linux are all very interesting distros you should keep a close eye on.

Yes it dose go to the ultralinux website and chose a distro. I would go with suse because it has YaST, but that is just a personal recommendation. To get suse click on the opensuse website.

Redhat linux is one of various distributions available for Linux. It is one of the better known and popular distributions.\nTo know more about linux, look it up on the internet (thru search engines) and you'll be surprised at how many distributions you'll find!

Linux is, by far.\nApple is better for multimedia.\nWindoze is great for crashing, hanging, having a senseless file manager, etc...\nWindoze just plain blows.\n\nI ditched XP about two years ago and started using Slackware Linux. There is no comparison.\n\nLinux is also free, and applications for Linux are free. Check out http://www.distrowatch.org and http://www.sourceforge.net

I do, and, yes, it is better. Why? Linux distributions are custom built for different hardware and user needs. Red-hat, SuSe and Yellow Dog have professional support and are good for small to large businesses. \nThere are distros such as clark connect for servers and bio knoppix for med students. Gentoo and Slackware are for advanced while Debian and fedora are for anyperson and are quickly growing. Linux also has live discs for rescue, thin client and server.\n\nWith Linux you have a choice when you install the base system. you choose the application type and security. there are many types of filing systems reiser, reiser 4 ext2 ext3 and swap.\nwith programs such as wine and crossover office you can port MS programs. Linux distributions come with server apps.\n\nYou'll have to learn the basics of linux, and they are easy- just be patient.\nThe pay off to linux is it is yours, you have multiple support, it is more stable.\nthe cons for linux- people are afraid of it.

Use Linux or Unix and have your pick from software on several websites use http://www.google.com/linux to search. Threre are even engineering specific linux distros available. Good fortune to you... SUSE is good, Vector is good....

Give Knoppix or DSL (Damn Small Linux) a try.  They're basically the same OS but you can put DSL on a usb drive and boot from that on most newer computers.  I've never tried the SUSE live cd but I've always liked SUSE on my laptops.

yes I did that on my computer . It's pretty easy. I did install Fedora. Downloaded from over the internet and works really good together with my Win XP sp2 dual boot. Good luck

NetBSD is a pretty good *nix distro\nor\nFedora Linux (aka Redhat) very simple to use with good security (SE Linux), stable and free.\nor\nRedhat Enterprise Linux but you have to pay for that.\n\nCheers!

FreeDOS is free, thats why it's installed. So that you have an OS but so that they did not have to charge you for one. The windoze installation issue is totally seperate. I don't do windows any more so somebody else will have to help there. \n\nAs for using FreeDos your not likely to get a whole lot of use out of it. I've got some great old DOS games but you really want to put Linux or windoze on that machine. I personally would recomend Linux. It might install where windoze failed and you might be surprised at how much easier it is to install. \n\nIf nothing else see if Fedora installs. If it doesn't you likely have a piece of oddball or malfunctioning hardware on the machine. IF it does then you likely need to install a driver for windows to happily install. Also try repartitioning and formating. Might be something to do with the FreeDos file partition. It might still have the partition limitations of old DOS. That the leadership of the project wanted to duplicate DOS rather than include improvements in things like partition and memory limits is why I left the project long long ago.
