Utility programs are non-applications. Applications allow you to work productively with your computer (MSWord, Excel, etc). Utility programs allow you to configure, diagnose, repair or monitor computer activity. Examples of utility programs are SCANDISK (to repair partitions) and FORMAT (to configure partitions). Control Panel applets are also utilities.
To be able to use a larger address space (More memory for programs)
// Swapping values of a and b int a = 1; int b = 50; int temp = a; // temp = 1 a = b; // a = 50 b = temp; // b = 1
The computer management feature in Windows can be used to partition a drive and create logical drives within these partitions. There are also commercial and non-commercial programs available for the same purpose.
This depends on the age of the kernel being used, the type of drive, and the software used to partition the drive. Older Linux systems had a limit of 63 partitions for IDE drives and 15 for SCSI. Kernels before around 2.6.28.5 that used libATA limited all drives to 15 partitions. Experimentation with more recent kernels indicates a limit around 130 partitions per drive. Many partitioning programs available for Linux are still limited to 63 partitions or less.
