| Running a UNIX or Linux operating system on No. You can't run windows software on a Linux system. However there is a windows emulator which lets you run some windows applications on Linux (I'm running xnews under wine under linux) it is usually easier to find a linux equivalent to your windows software. For instance, Microsoft Office, Open Office. Photoshop -- The Gimp ACDsee -- GQview, Gthumb (and many more) windows mediaplayer -- Mplayer, Xine, Totem, VLC ect... |
