I have an Acer laptop installed with licensed version of windows 7. I just want to try linux mint on that laptop. If I didn’t like linux mint after I installed it, can I go back to windows 7? Does anyone have the ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have windows 7 and ubuntu linux on my computer. I built a cool city on minecraft in windows 7 and want to transfer it to linux so i can play it on my linux because it is faster. Is this possible? How would I do this?

Hey, I was wondering what the best linux download is for a new user who like speed and does ALOT of programing. Also just because it will be my first time using linux I was wondering both how to download linux programs and if there are any restrictions ie. some progrmas are for mac and others are for Windows. Thanks for all the help!

My windows recovery CD seems to be pretty damaged and I’m not planning on buying new CD.I know that linux is free,so I would like try it but I don’t know how to install it.Can anyone explain me step-by-step?I will really appreciate it.

I know in DOS you do dir /s for the entire system. What is the linux equivalent ?

I’m looking for a system that offers group calendars that are flexible and can be shared for scheduling meetings, etc. It is for a new, extremely poor, nonprofit organization. They simply cannot afford M$ and Exchange. I’ve heard there are solutions in Linux, but the ones I’ve found are barely cheaper than Exchange. So I’m looking for something that is freeware or open source to use instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wanted to DL a C++ program to add a command and it was only available as a TAR? also if its C++ what is the chance of it being for 64bit also? I guess I could set up one of my machines as a Linux – would this even help? If a UNIX machine is used to program a C++ program is this going to run on my Windows machine – I’m a little confused – thanks for any help!

I’m installing linux mint and I’m installing it along side to windows. I allocated about 100gb of space for linux and windows has about 120gb. How long should this process take?

I am looking into starting up a business that does electronic repairs, mods, and installations – like a computer shop but I would like to be able to install linux on PCs, homebrew on consoles, – possibly unlock phones – and unlock GPSs (based on windows CE into pocket PCs) Technically I would not be charging for the software – I would be charging for the service of installing the software – or the media the software comes on (Cost of a CD or DVD backup) – I also would add something about voiding warranties in some cases and not endorsing piracy. Would this all be legal?

That is, how much programming experience would you need and how much general hardware/software knowledge would you need? I’m interested in Linux, but I’m intimidated by my lack of experience.
