is there a way to turn a linux computer into windows?

Q. I hate linux and dosnt work well for me. Is there a way to turn my linux computer into a windows? Can make windows run on it? Can you turn it into a windows computer?

A. If you have a windoze install disk I imagine you could reformat and reinstall.

How to use a crossover cable between two computers?
Q. I have two Ubuntu Linux computers and a crossover cable.....What do I do? I just want to be able to share files between computers.

A. Set the IP addresses on both computers to be within one sub network like

pc1 ip - > 192.168.0.2
pc1 mask -> 255.255.255.0

pc2 ip - > 192.168.0.3
pc2 mask -> 255.255.255.0

After that you must share at least one resource on one of the pc's

After that you should be able to access the shared resource from the other computer

Is it possible to link multiple linux based computers in a network into one to form one powerful computer?
Q. I heard a while ago that you can actually link multiple linux based computers together to form one powerful one. Any ideas?

A. Clustering / Cloud computing is not an easy task - but it's achievable.
It also depends on what the task you want to achieve. Clustering is usually done to batch huge processing jobs that would otherwise take weeks or months.

Some examples:
Render farms - thousands of linux processing computers rendering 3D images to form a movie (think Shrek or the like)

Compile farms - same, but used to compile huge applications - like video games. usually dist-cc is used.

If you simply want a "super computer", then this isn't the way to go.
