Does installing Ubuntu on my system ( dual boot with vista) allow me to run unix commands and install programs like I would do on a unix server?

Thanks,

I can give an account on my machine at home -what program do you need?
The free shell accounts on the Web usually don't have install permissions. You can install Ubuntu parallel to Windows and use under Ubuntu programs that are available in Ubuntu - the program you need may be or not be available in Ubuntu.
If you tell what program do you need I can search for it - if it is available for my distrib, I'll try to install it. My machine won't be available all the time, but when it's available ( it's going t obe day in Amerika) you will be able to login over telnet/ssh, use programs, get help. It would be nice to have contact over ICQ for better coordination.

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
