The one editor that is absolutely certain to be available on every Linux and Unix distribution is 'vi'. The 'vi' editor is not only the world's greatest editor, it is absolutely ubiquitous in the Unix and Linux world. There are other editors on many Linux systems including many graphical editors, but none hold a candle to 'vi', at least in my humble opinion.

NOTE: The 'vi' editor was written by Bill Joy.

Are the Canon utilities that ship with their cameras the best solution for photo editing?

Photo editing is a large field of expertise. If, by editing, you mean cropping, brightness, contrast and the like, then Canon utilities are good enough. In a way, all of Photoshop's expertise is photo editing, (because the difference between editing and enhancement is hard to define). The Canon utilities cover only a small part of that. If I were you, I would start with Canon's editing software, and see if my needs are taken care of by them. If you get seriously involved, you will find you will exhaust its capabilities soon.

What is basic difference between Linux 4 and Linux 9?

== == There is no Linux 9 yet. In fact, there is no Linux 3 yet. Linux is still at major version 2. If you meant to ask about the differencences between R-HEL 4 an R-HEL 9, please ask the question again. What most people commonly refer to as "Linux" is actually the kernel or operating system for GNU/Linux. The operating system by itself provides amongst other things a (software) platform for programs to execute on. The reason for the "GNU" prefix relates the the utilities that form part of the user's view of the operating system. These utilites allow the creation of directories, the editing of files, deleting files, etc. These utilities are not distributed in a bundled form with the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel itself is distributed under a special license known as the GNU Public Licence (GPL) which allows people to distribute is legally, and to obtain it freely. Freely here does not refer to price, however. Many software vendors have started creating tools and bundled packages which include the Linux kernel. These vendors, such as Red Hat, or Mandrake, or SuSe, will then give their particular release a version number, such as Red Hat Linux 4, or Mandrake Linux 10.1. The difference mainly includes updated utilities, and an updated (newer) version of the Kernel itself. It is important to realise, however, that there is really no such thing as Linux 4, or Linux 9. One may see something along the Lines of Linux 2.4.26 or Linux 2.6, which is referring to the version or release of the Linux Kernel.


It is true or false that Utilities comes with operating systems?

yes the utilities comes from OS An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
