What is the BEST Linux OS to use in conjunction with Windows 7 Professional OS?
I very much like Linux and am very new to Windows 7 Professional OS (that’s the reason for all the Windows 7 Professional questions on here, which I do appreciate everyone’s helpful responses). Can you recommend a Linux OS that would complement Windows 7 Professional OS? A computer technician friend recommend Ubuntu. Thank you in advance, my friends, as I truly appreciate your helpfulness. 
Dual boot Ubuntu.
You will still be able to access and edit your Windows files from Ubuntu which will make the eventual transition to a Windows free world easier.
Imagine never having to pay for software again, thats life with Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is definitely the way to go. I have it and it’s great speed wise. Use Wubi Installer, and it’s really easy too. Then if you need to uninstall it, just go into Windows 7/ Programs and features, and uninstall it.
Definitely Ubuntu..
also, since you’re here asking for OS advice… get rid of that sad excuse for an OS called Windows 7, and use XP
Use Cygwin…it’s light weight, portable and not as bulky as Ubuntu.
