I am a member of the Ubuntu forum community just because I try to get help when first using Ubuntu Linux. They are quite helpful. They have pay support also. It'll be worth it if you are using the server version.

QUOTE(matthijn @ Aug 11 2010, 05:50 PM) What are the operational differences between Linux and UNIX? Why would a programmer choose one over the other? What about software selection and ease of programming (with already basic knowledge of programming, and wanting to dive in to open source)? in simple answer . In terms of Linux, what makes things like Red Hat cost money and things like Ubuntu not? Is pay-for OS based on Linux better quality than freely distributed OS? What is the best choice for Linux-or-Unix OS for a budding programmer?  UNIX is an Operating System like Windows / Macintosh Linux is only a kernel thats all |
