Hi Sandip:
 The discussions on Book Fair has made me

Limdep is not available in Linux, but there are many
high quality free open source linux based
econometric/socialmetric packages that you can use,
compatible with limdep. Try to do a web search for
some of these (Sumeet has listed a couple of them, I
believe). I heartily recommend that you start using R
for statistical programming [check out: 
http://www.r-project.org] for your data analysis.

>  May I shift to Linux totally? 

If Office applications and statistical data analysis
are all you do, then by all means YES. Shift totally,
never even think about using windows again. Just make
sure you have your data well backed up, then pretend
that your windows box crashed so bad that it will
never again recover. Then install linux (whatever
flavor you want) and plunge in. Things cannot be too
bad. 

OTOH, If you cannot live without Limdep, be in the
dual boot mode for a few months, and then, switch
over...
