Solve : Microsoft Linux or Mac??

Answer»

Continuing what Johnk SAID about Macs being expensive:
Their cheapest Mac laptop is $1044 LAST time I checked.
Its about the EQUIVALENT of a $600 laptop.

There are some distributions of Linux that can be installed on Apple Macintosh computers, however, this DOES NOT make purchasing a Mac worth it.

Like I said before, Windows is preloaded on most computers anyways.

You can use a boot manager like GRUB or LiLo to boot both Linux and Windows.

A note about using WINE (Wine is not an emulator)
Wine supports almost all .exe files, however, there has been reported difficulties with some programs.
Installers requiring a .MSI file may need a separate program.
Please see the following for information on Wine and programs that are compatible with it:

Another note:
If you plan on using Ubuntu, you probably want to make sure you have an Internet connection (for updates, and using the Synaptics Program Manager) so you can get more applications.

A final note:
Good luck on what ever you end up choosing!

You can do Adhoc with Windows, no router needed. LINUX!
