hi I am new reseacher going to work on the DFT calulations.I have installed
ubuntu 12.10 (32 bit) on my system .I just to want know which version of
quantum espresso should I install to my system which is more compatible to
it.As am also learnt siesta - 3.1 for the study of electronic structure and
magnetic properties of carbon system but now am shifted to quantum
Esspresso for the same.Is the code of Quantum espresso is easy to learn and
my decision of shifting is suitable for my work.I shall be thankful for
your positive response
