Most people know that Linux has the most software support for molecular modeling and molecular dynamics. I would like to be able to run Ubuntu Linux for this purpose on my Windows machine. I am not interested in making it a Linux machine nor do I have a machine of similar capability on which I could install Linux. Therefore I would essentially like a dual boot machine capable of running both Windows and Linux. I would prefer Ubuntu because I have only minor experience with Linux. I do not want to use Cygwin either.
Hello Mr John,
You can make your machine dual boot with both windows as well as ubuntu in it. Whenever you want you can switch to either of the operating systems. I am assuming that you know how to make the computer dual boot. You can then run MD simulations- amber or gromacs or any software by simply logging into Ubuntu. If you have trouble in making your system dual boot, then I can help you.
Best Regards,
Sometimes pendrives may eject automatically from a computer. So in case if you are using OS directly from pendrive, then chances of crashing of your work are high. And moreover, if one requires the linux for running MD simulations, then I would recommend that you should install the Ubuntu in your system as simulations is a time taking process.
Best Regards,
