Do they not have contact information for your professor so you can ask him?

I would recommend Fedora, as it as up to packages for PyMOL, python packages (eg. numpy), and compilers so you can install the latest version of programs such as AmberTools. By you should really ask your professor what he's using, as you should be running the same system as him.

Well, he said that we will need linux and would help us if we didn't know anything, but first i habe came here :D

What uni are you from? Just curious.

>>56261567
Run Ubuntu, lubuntu, or xubuntu in a virtual machine, just pick whichever one you think looks better

>>56261567
Ubuntu. Everyone I've seen using Linux professionally uses it. Every single professional software that's ported to Linux gets an Ubuntu deb package.

Its because it just werks. I ain't got time to configure rudimentary shit when I can just have Linux work out of the box. Arch/Gentoo are for neets or those who are curious about how Linux works at a deeper level.

Ubuntu is popular, so it's more worthwhile to port to it, so it gets better support, so it offers more, so it gets more popular.
