i love you
There is none. Not everyone agrees on what to call most Linux systems, but "GNU/Linux" tends to generate more controversy than saying just "Linux."
Absolutely. In fact, the recommended way to install Wordpress is on a Linux server.
the quickest and easiest way to install Solaris is to boot from the CD / DVD on a Sparc system with an OBP boot cdrom - install
It is a script that is parsed during a Linux install. It is usually specified when you boot into an install CD/DVD or whatever medium you are installing from, network, etc. When you boot from an install media, you get that welcome screen, and instead of just hitting enter to start the process, you have options, e.g. "linux ks=floppy" would be the way to use a kickstart file on a floppy. You can create custom install CDs that have the kickstart file on them already, then "linux ks=cdrom" would start you on your way. The kickstart file has two main purposes: 1.) To create an unattended installation. You pop in the DVD, type as above, and go for coffee. When you return, system installed. No questions to answer. 2.) It allows you to create a template installation, so if you are installing to many machines, they will all have to same packages installed, same settings, etc. Bonus.) Vendors may give you a kickstart file, to ensure that when you install Linux for their product, the right things are there, in the right way. ---That's about it.
PHP with Linux is completely different, since everything is free (Linux, Apache, Mysql, FileZila, PHP, etc.). Linux is also way more stable for production use, since it's regularly updated (at least once a months, for certain distribution). Remember, the Internet runs on Linux, mostly CentOS and RedHat.However, windows is way more compatible with everyday applications. The best would be to have a development computer running Linux (buy an old, use computer, install Linux on it), and have an everyday Windows computer.
Yes you can. Ubuntu's WUBI uses the Windows bootloader (NTLDR) to boot Linux. It also uses the Windows filesystem (NTFS). This, however, is not the traditional way to do things. The traditional way to dual-boot Linux and Windows is to use a generic bootloader such as Grub to boot both Windows and Linux.
No, Linux has .so (Shared object) and .ko (Driver) files. Shared objects work in much the same way as dynamically linked libraries, except in a much better way that doesn't screw things up. There is no real Linux "DLL hell" equivalent.
The only way I know is to install a Linux OS on the PS3. Linux is like Windows or Mac, but is completely free. With Linux installed you can use your PS3 like a computer and also use firefox.
It is more user friendly.
No, Linux is simply the operating system running on the hardware, much in the same way that you could run Windows or another OS on the same hardware.
The use of the Linux bandwidth monitor is the way to properly monitor network traffic with reports. They use these to know the bandwidth unique usage.
They are no way similar, so there is no point in comparison.
