Installing a dual boot machine is easy with today's Linux distributions.
A couple of months ago I used Octave to do some tasks in mathematics in
both Ubuntu Linux and Windows 7. Ubuntu Linux distrubution lacked of some
libraries and for these reason at the end I shifted to Windows to
accomplish
If you install ubuntu on a system with Winders, it pretty much handles
everything. The partition editor shrinks the Windows partition, keeps the
recovery partition, installs linux on an EXT4 partition, and puts grub in the
MBR.
From install, onward, you select which OS to run at boot.
Linux
Good point about checking compatibility - my personal system (HP Envy 17 3D)
has problems with linux video drivers.

For the record, I repeat that Microsoft provides a free version of
Visual Studio which I've found completely adequate for serious C++
work, including working with the Boost libraries. I compile the
C++/Boost component of the VPython project (vpython.org) for all
platforms, including Windows, and
I didn't realize that. Sounds like there's no reason to dual-boot.

Now for something completely different:

Basically whether or not the US should join OPEC now that it is a net oil
exporter.
Insane as it sounds, there is some reason in the discussion.

Insane as it sounds, A better question is if the US should first join
the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) considering that the US
has more Muslims (5+ million) than half OIC's member nations.

I suspect that both South American members of the OPEC are not interested
in such a bright idea. Maybe later when right returns. By the way,
although Hispanic population in USA exceeds the population of the most

Aha, there is - if you want 64-bit code, code as a team, unit test, or remote
debug - all of which are unnecessary to a solitary researcher.

If they had a USB plug-in pigtail - they could cross any air gap.

Where did you see that the US is now a net oil exporter? The attachments below
are 2008 and 2009, but I suspect the picture hasn't changed much since then (US
imports 75% of its oil for consumption). I believe I saw reference to
potential exporter in the NY Times article.

We exported more petroleum products, not more oil. We are still net oil
importers.

Thanks for the clarification. It is still surprising nonetheless.
