Linux and the chemist.
Linux is a freely available computer operating system. Instead of buying multiple copies of the same operating system for use on each computer, Linux may be freely copied onto every computer. Linux distributions come with hundreds of applications, such as compilers, browsers, various servers, graphics software, text editors, and spreadsheets, just to mention a few. Many commercial software companies have ported their applications over to Linux. Numerous programs for chemists, such as statistical treatment, molecular modeling, NMR spectral processing, DNA sequence evaluation, crystal structure solving, and molucular dynamics are available online, many at no cost.
