I'm a CS undergraduate, and I'm a newbie to the Unix-like OSs. We used Fedora in our labs, but I've not mastered it. I've installed Windows 7 on my laptop and I want to install this Unix-based OS.These are my laptop capabilities:Processor : Intel i3Memory : 4GB DDR3Storage : 320GBI think other details are not needed. Are those capabilities is enough? If so, which distribution should I use?
Need advice to install Unix-like OS on my Laptop

That machine is more than capable of running a Linux-based OS.You will get a hundred different distribution recommendations.  Look for something geared towards a desktop: Ubuntu or Debian or Fedora perhaps.
