There's no such thing as a "file editor." That would imply that all files used the exact same format and thus could all be edited from a single program. This is simply not the case.
There are programs you can download that will read Linux file systems. Common file systems are ext2 and ext3.
There is no the text editor in Linux. There are dozens of possible text editors available for Linux, such as:edviVimEmacsJOENanoJEDKateGeditMousepadLeafpadjEditXeditGeanyNEditJuffEdJOVE
By carefully editing the /etc/sudoers file using visudo.Note: before that set environment variable EDITOR to your favourite text-editor, for example:export EDITOR=/usr/bin/mcedit
You can't resize a mounted partition, so you can't resize the root file system while the installed copy of Linux is running. To resize it, you should use a LiveCD like GParted that contains a partition editor.
The first file system Linux supported was the MINIX file system.
There is no set file manager in linux. Examples of Linux file managers include but: Nautilus (GNOME) Thunar (XFCE) Dolphin (KDE)
Anything can be made into a command on a Linux system. The steps are easy. First, using any text editor (vim, emacs, etc.) create a text file. Put anything you want to do in this file. Save the file. Make sure the file you just created has read and execute permissions (chmod). That's it! Now you have a command that you can execute in Linux.
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.
vi text editor is a standard text editor found in almost every flavor of Linux, it is the most preferred text editor by most Linux professionals, other text editors include nano and pico are also decent substitutes for the vi editor
It depends on the editor.
Linux systems have access to a wide range of filesystems, however most Linux distributions default to ext3 or ext4. In the future it is our hope that the "standard" Linux filesystem will be btrfs.Linux supports many different file systems, including ext, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS, Reiser4, JFS, btrfs, and XFS.
Hmm... The recommended method of changing your password on Linux (or Unix for that matter), is to use the passwd command.To change another user's password, switch user to rootand issue the command:# passwd other_user Your question seems to indicate that you really want to directly edit your passwd and shadow files on your Linux distribution. Unless you really, really know what you're doing, I recommend against this.If you do know what you're doing, use the vi (or other editor - vi is the best editor ever made though) editor and directly edit your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.Of course, should you subsequently discover you can no longer access your system, it may behoove you to go back to your Linux/Unix basics and begin all over again. May I suggest, as an excellent starting point, learn all that you can about the world's most wonder editor, the editor vi. :)
