I have an DELL XP install disk. Can I put the disk on a usb and download it on my Linux netbook?

Q. Note the disk says for DELL only, and it's a Linux netbook with no disk drive so I would have to put it on a usb.

A. Download -> Yes
Installation -> No
The license agreement may not allow you to register the operating system and after three months (in most of the case) your operating system will be down close to no function at all. The disk may not work even with Dell but different model.

How easy is it to shift work between Linux and Windows computers?
Q. I am thinking of buying a cheap netbook ( the ASUS Eee PC 4G 701). Will I be able to write a document on the linux netbook and transfer it to Microsoft Word on my home computer, and is this difficult?

If you have any additional knowledge/experience of this netbook, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

A. If you are going to buy a Linux netbook I recommend buying one of the ones with Ubuntu Linux, such as dells or hp's. The Linux shipped on the eeepc is quite unpopular, and does not represent what Linux is capable of. (although you can reinstall another distribution on it)

HP Mini 110 Mi $279

Dell Mini 10v $299

Linux has many of the same programs you may be use to: Firefox, OpenOffice.org, pidgin, which interoperate well.

Once you get use to Linux you wont want to go back :P

are there any games that are easy to download and install to my linux netbook?
Q. i'm having a great deal of trouble trying to install any games to my asus linux netbook 900. i don't have windows and find it impossibly difficult and complicated to understand the installation procedure.

are there any sites that allow games to be downloaded/installed and played offline by simply opening and/or extracting the files. without having to also downloads endless programs or updates in order to just play the game?

please avoid using techno-speak when answering.

thank you

A. If you go to your main menu and look for an entry that says Add and Remove programs, you should use that to install games, or any other software that you want. It will automatically download what is needed, install it, and put an entry in you menu.
Good luck
