“ The 'free' in free software refers to freedom: it means users have the freedom to run, modify and redistribute the software. Free software contributes to human knowledge, while non-free software does not. Universities should therefore encourage free software for the sake of advancing human knowledge, just as they should encourage scientists and scholars to publish their work.“

VirtualBox

If you want to run software on different platforms (MAC-LINUX-WINDOWS):
VirtualBox

I tried Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), XP and WIN7 on a MacBook.

... useful when killer-applications (i.e. NeuronStudio) are not platform independent!
