What is suitable operating system for scientific calculations and multimedia?

In: Computer Networking

[Edit]

Answer

Totally different things ....

Multimedia : Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP Professional. Windows XP Home is also okay but has lots of bugs than XP Pro. To me Microsoft 2000 Professional is the BEST Operating System Microsoft has ever created ...

Scientific Calculations : Depends on what kinds of software applications or tools you run for your scientific calculations. go for Sun Solaris UNIX or Linux Flavours. I Mean Gentoo Linux and Red Hat Linux are the best Linux flavors.

I u want both things then Best approach is to have Windows 2000 Professional with SP4 installed as well as either Red Hat Linux (Fedora Core) or Gentoo Linux installed on the same hard-drive with a DUAL Boot mode.

I have DUAL Bool with Windows 2000 Pro as well as Fedora Core which is Red Hat Linux version 10.
