What is Linux
http://www.linux.org/info/index.html
Overall a Linux based platform can perform most of the tasks equally as well as a Windows based platform using the likes of Ubuntu and its derivative distros. However Linux does have its limitations with some applications and in particular gaming. For example alongside Linux Mint I retain a partition with XP on to run specific applications

If you intend to run a number of Windows applications I suggest Dual Booting by installing Linux inside Windows
Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning

You download the ISO. image of Ubuntu 10.10 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) User Guide

Ubuntu 10.10 can also be run straight from the LiveCD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 LTS and Linux Mint 10 Main Edition which are built upon Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 10.10 they are easy to install and easy to use plus they come with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
Linux Mint has a similar installer called mint4win (mint4win works the same as the Ubuntu Windows installer so the instructions outlined above are almost identical)
You keep Windows as it is, mint4win only adds an extra option to boot into Linux Mint. mint4win does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
mint4win keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Linux Mint LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the mint4win installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Linux Mint (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Linux Mint is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Linux Mint

LUg.Linux???????????????
1. Yes. especially in servers, supercomputers and embeded devices.
2. It's free as in speech. It allows access to every part of the system to a high degree of power and flexibility, as a well as a invaluable for education.
3. Inertia largely, and that no real good model for support at the home or desktop level has been developed either. There is also a large degree of fragmentation, which is great for that's ties into it's strong points, but it's hard to develop something that you can release and forget.
4. See one and two.
5. Linus Torvalds got the first few version working and then recruited and army of hackers to flesh out the ideas and to really make it work. It's gratis because that's one of the reasons people developed it. Everything was developed independently or from existing free code. Also there is only so many ways to do certain things.Linux???????????????
I personally am using Linux Ubuntu 10.10 as I type lol. I personally think its the best operating system out there. Here is a great thing to tell people who want linux, no viruses, thats right no viruses. Its a very stable operating system. Its free, its compatible with a lot of things nowadays. Linux was formed when a bunch of people got together and started writing the code. Today its estimated over 35 Million people use linux. Linux can be installed by either installing it on your computer, a Live CD, or put on a Flash drive and installed that way. It is normally used by big business, servers, and average computer people.
