I have no idea wich one. Ive always been a huge windows fan and well latly i've heard of Unix and Linux. Also, my friend wants to get Linux on his notebook and windows on his pc, the notebook being the master.(I think my friend is rather stupid wanting the notebook to be the master, but i've been wrong before). Is it possible to network the two different softwares together?Thank you!(pardon my spelling)

That is loaded question which has started many flamewars.

The answer is which OS that gets the job done. I use OpenBSD at the house for firewall/proxy/network monitoring and use FreeBSD for programming and general putting around and Win2K on my primary machine so that I can play games and waste time. My wife and child use Win98 because they get confused by the complexities of Unix.

If you are a MFC programmer, it doesn't make much sense to run Solaris on your box and vice versa.

And yes, it is possible to network Unix and Windows together to share files.

do both windows and linux/unix! it's the best way to go (actually, OSX w/ virtual PC and X-windows) networking works!

One OS vs. ANOTHER OS discussions are against the forum rules.
