Hi,I am doing a project titled Web Monitor and Port Control Over IP as a part of final year academic project(.Net Platform).My question is,weather can i run shell script from the server program to enable/disable physical port of the client system running linux operating system?

I have recently received a notebook computer from a friend, and I would like to install a nice OS that is user friendly and higher security, now I would like to know which one between linux and Windows meets the mentioned characteristics.

My comp requires the operating system with 64 bit. It is Acer ASPIRE 5520

any suggestions. I want to use it for programming and learning UNIX commands.

IE, could I boot Puppy from BIOS, OR just proceed to windows and access a "toolbox" for fixing computers, without negatively affecting how Puppy boots?

My computer freezes when I go to yahoo mail.

Or takes up very very low amounts of RAM.

I am going to install Ubuntu to a USB. And I am having a hard time partitioning my hard drive without losing any information on it.

So I was wondering. Can I install Ubuntu to a USB and have an external hard drive instead of an internal one? And if I can, how would I go about doing that?

Will it? I never had tried Linux, and I do not know what the ups and downs are compared to Windows. Someone care to help? Thanks!
