It is very easy for me to get a Hexidecimal dump of any file in Linux, but I am not sure such an option is even available in W7. In fact, my Ubuntu Linux provides about 2700 commands at the Command promt to handle whatever you want in the system. And you can get into loops where nothing gets at the risk of being unAmerican, the fact that Linux is based on Unix means that it provides access to are rather large selection of FREE utility applications whereas Windows in any form will generally ask you to pay money for such. Yes, people do expect Windows to do the installations, not the user. Just play with the Live CD a bit so that you know how to use it, and you'll have another tool in your toolbox for when you need it. You can boot the Live CD to fix your Windows system or your Linux system in case something made them unbootable, for example. Whether that's Windows or Linux or OS X or something else, or all of them.īut, and this applies whether you're a Windows user or a Linux user: It's often a good idea to have a Linux Live CD (or bootable USB stick) available as a rescue / trouble assistant tool. The only exceptions I've ran into more than once are certain wi-fi dongles, although that seems to have changed (for the better) the last couple of years (in any case that's the one case where it's not a real problem - I've managed to use all my dongles with the Windows driver, because for these particular kind of devices there's a wrapper made for Linux to run Windows drivers).īut in any case, the real rule is: Use the operating system that works out easiest for you and let you concentrate on what you want to do and doesn't feel like getting in the way. While to get it working on Linux you just plug it in, and it works. So, to get the thing working on Windows you're apparently supposed to install a driver from the CD. everything from tiny Bluetooth dongles to the Logitech webcam I got yesterday (rescued from going into the dump). The most visible difference for me when using equipment and devices with Linux and Windows is that they always come with a driver CD.
