What are some of the basics on how to use Linux?
The first step when starting to use Linux is to understand that you need to create a new user account besides the root one you made during installation. The root account has access to all system files and other logins have limited access. This means that if something goes wrong such as a virus if you are logged in the root account then it can corrupt all files but as a normal user the damage is isolated.
How do you have two OS with two internal hard drives one running Windows 2000 pro and the other running Linux Ubuntu?
the way I did it was install windows first, then use the Linux CD (preferably a live CD) to do the Linux installation. During the installation it will run a partition manager, and from there you can select the drive to use for the installation. It will create a bootloader (grub, lilo) on the 1st disk so it knows where to find the 2 different operating systems.
How do you create users in Linux?
To create a new user account under any Linux distribution use command called useradd. The system administrator is responsible for creating account. Login as root user (or use sudo command).

Sure can. Probably the best tool for this is gparted.

What Linux super-user account is built into Linux?
With most Unix-derived systems, "root" is the super-user account.
Can you use the same installation procedure for all versions of Linux?
No.
Is Linux a multiuser OS?
Yes Linux does support the creation of multiple user accounts. If you wish to learn to use the command line, these commands are how you create a new account along with a password. 1) useradd "new account name" 2) passwd "name of new account" you will be prompted for a password then asked to retype it. to delete a user type: userdel "name of account" to delete the account and all the accounts files type: userdel -r "name of account" All of the commands I've listed must be run by the root account.
What is the installation program called for Linux?
There is no "the" installation program for Linux. Each distribution has its own (more or less), and it's generally referred to as "the installer" unless they've given it a more specific name.
Can we install rt Linux on Fedora?
RT Linux is a specific distribution of Linux, as is Fedora. You can install RT Linux over Fedora, but RT Linux isn't a program you install in a Fedora installation, but an entirely different installation altogether (and meant for different things; RT Linux is meant for specialty devices where the machine needs to manage devices and calculations in Real-time whereas Fedora is more a desktop/server distribution.)
Can you use Windows Vista to fix a corrupted Linux installation?
Depending on what is wrong with the installation, probably not. Many files in Linux require a certain set of permissions to be set on them, or else the users and daemons can't do their jobs correctly, and the users will be unable to fix the problem even if the system boots, because they won't have permission to do so. The reason that this is an issue is because all the software that allows Vista to read various Linux file systems (such as ext2 or ReiserFS) doesn't support Linux-style permissions and thus all files that are created or modified belong to the root account.
