I was just wondering if you can recommend me a Linux OS for my Samsung 900x laptop. I just want to familiarize myself with the Linux OS and I know companies like people who uses Linux. Thanks!
you should ask this kind of questions in linux forums.
depending on your hardware and knowledge level you can choose a distro to use.
for example if you want to just use your OS out of the box, you can use distributions like Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
I recommend you to try a live linux disk like Knoppix which has some Desktop environments installed.
then you can choose what Desktop you like (Gnome shell, KDE, xfce,...)
and if you ever wanted to install linux on hard disk, you at least know what you want.
good luck and welcome to GNU/Linux world!

I'n looking to download a linux distro that has nothing but a terminal, simply boot up the machine into a console/terminal that runs sh/bash.
I want it to test some shell script and I really don't need a desktop environment because I want it to perform as best as possible.
If anyone knows anything like this let me know thanks!
I tried to look it up on google and YT and all I find is some lightweight distributions but with desktops.
I recommend you Arch Linux. It's a lightweight and DIY distro. You don't need a desktop environment to install it on your system

I need to install a VM of an operating systems that is not based on Linux/Unix, Windows or Mac.
I tried to use NetBSD and FreeBSD, but both seem to be too simple, since I need to run applications and write something about the system's characteristics (like, if it's a time sharing, distributed or network system and run some commands on its terminal to see basic system properties).
Is there a good OS, not based in Linux (like BSD) that has a simple installation and it's easy to use (preferably with a "graphics package" and not just terminal, since I need to run applications)?
Feel free to ask for more details and thanks in advance for all the answers.
I would suggest looking into Haiku OS, a direct descendent of BeOS. It has many interesting features:
A micro-kernel implemented entirely in C++
Very elegant API design
A filesystem with a clear metadata structure
Plenty of opportunities for developers to collaborate and learn

For a long term university project involving a small team (2/5 people),
using Matlab and Java, we are trying to set up an SVN.
The problem is that the computers used in this project run different OS.
The main computer where the code should be compiled and tested in the laboratory runs Linux Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
our supervisor, which would have admin rights uses MacOS, while the other computers would have either Windows or MacOS.
As we are not familiar with SVN, I believe it would be better chose a programme with a comprehensive GUI such as
smartSVN. The difficulty lies in finding an opensource that works across all platforms or at least Mac and Linux.
Is there any other free software, with GUI, that you'd suggest?
Thank you!
You can work with multiple SVN clients on the same remote repository. The GUI of a client is just a visual layer of the svn protocol.
You can use tortoiseSVN on Windows, smartSVN on Mac, an integrated client inside your IDE on Linux, or whatever you want.
In your case, you should have only the source code in your repository and a different configuration on the computers.

Apple release swift as open source so,any IDE available to Implement on Linux?
As another user correctly stated, Xcode is an IDE, and Swift is a language. This is like asking: can we use Microsoft Visual Studio on Linux, since C and C++ can be used on Linux? Maybe in the future - yes, but not any time soon.
As for the limitations of Swift on Linux, I think the most important ones to note are:
1) The port of Swift to Linux is brand new. There are bugs. In fact, some people can't even use it on Linux as advertised. I could, but this is probably dependent on the specific installation of Linux. Mine is Ubuntu 14.04, but for others it failed on the same OS, Ubuntu 14.04. Not good.
2) For now we cannot use Swift on Linux to write apps for iOS and other Apple platforms.
3) A lot of frameworks/software libraries that can be used to program in Swift on Mac OS X using Xcode won't be available on Linux.
Swift on Linux is, as I understand it, intended for people to learn this new high-level cool language, so they can eventually start programming on Mac OS X or write Linux applications faster, taking advantage of the Swift language features.

Are there open source Linux cluster project available? Could someone point me to the web link?

Most information you seem to require can be found here.
MOSIX
Beowulf
Linux HA
There's this Pelican HPC livecd, which uses MPI. The livecd approach makes it easy to try out things without breakage.
Oh it also features easy install on networked PCs by booting via PXE over the network.
