How do you shutdown FTP services in Linux?
To shut down an FTP server in Linux, you would generally use "ftpshut." The command syntax can vary slightly, so check your man pages for the correct syntax.
How do you configure an FTP server in Linux?
There are many FTP server packages in Linux, each with different configuration files and syntaxes. A single question trying to answer how to configure them all would be long and unwieldly, and would duplicate information found in a question about a single implementation. Please ask a question about a single implementation, such as vsftpd or tftpd, instead.
What types of Linux dedicated server packages are available and what are the benefits?
Linux dedicated servers do not offer packages. It is not a service that you purchase, rather it is a type of server that your service would be running off of.

Is a Windows server better than a Linux server for the web?
In my personal opinion, No, a Linux server is the better answer for the web. I would recommend a windows server only when running asp/.net, and with the introduction of mono (an apache module), Linux machines can run .net (although I've never used this, myself, and it is in its infancy). Linux, in general, has much better thread and memory handling than Windows. In a multi-threaded web server, it should serve you better. Remember, that things like this are always a personal preference type of thing, and the debate between Windows and Linux is fierce. My advice would be to look up benchmarking information for Windows web servers and Linux web servers, and see which would suit your needs.
Which command would you use to remove a directory on a UNIX server?
rmdir
How can Linux be closed from the Linux GUI?
If you want to shut down the computer, usually "poweroff" or "shutdown -h now" would do. If you want to exit from the graphical interface, you typically just need to shut down the X server (the graphical session generally runs through a display manager session or your startx command)
How would you use kill to cause a server process to reread its configuration files?
# kill -HUP pidwhere pid is the PID of the server process.
What command starts the command line in Linux?
That would be a semi-contradiction; the command line would need to be already running in order to enter a command. The name of the program that actually provides the command line is called a shell. There are many different shells available for Linux, including Bash, ash, C Shell, fish, ksh, zsh, and scsh.The default command shell is /bin/sh (not /bin/bash, note).
