The inherent problem in ing your question is that there is no single operating system known as "Unix." Unix is a specification for a large number of operating systems to meet and comply with. The installation for Solaris is different from that of AIX, which is different from that of TRU64. In order to receive a definitive , you would need to define which Unix you are trying to install.

Different Unix and Unix-like systems have different ways of installing software. Some require just dropping the binary into /usr/bin. Others require additional libraries to be installed.

How do you send a file from Windows to a Unix printer I can send the file to the Unix itself but I need to be able to send a file from Windows straight to a Unix printer Does anyone know how?

There are several ways. One is to have Samba configured on the Unix system so that the Windows system has access to it. Another way is to install the lpr service for windows (most Windows servers now have that service as an installable service). 'lpr' is the Unix printing spooler which would allow you to use the lpr command in windows to print to a Unix printer.


Could UNIX can run without the desktop?

If you are referring to the desktop as being a graphical user interface then Unix is capable of running without it. A GUI was a more recent addition to Unix, meaning that the earlier versions just used a command line and had no desktop environment at all. Today, you can install versions of Unix or Linux that do not have a graphical component at all, and several administrators (such as myself) prefer not to use a desktop.

Boot from the USB or DVD, select the option to install alongside the existing OS, and follow the on-screen instructions to partition your disk and complete the installation.

How is pine different from mailx?

Pine is a third-party software package that does not come with Unix or Linux; it has to be installed. It was written for a beginner in mind so that they didn't have to know a lot about the Unix environment when using mail. Mailx is a standard Unix mail client that is typically supplied with a Unix install. It is somewhat easy to use but requires the user to know how to use an editor such as 'vi' and to use somewhat arcane means of answering mail.
