What handles file sharing on Linux?
If you want to share files with other linux computer use NFS. If you want to share files with windows computer use SAMBA.
What operating system is Linux compatible with?
Linux *is* an operating system. So it's not meant to be compatible with a specific operating system. However, it can interoperate with other systems, which means that it can provide its own implementations of another operating systems features to make sure the user is able to use Linux with the other operating systems. For example, Linux interoperates with Windows by having filesystem drivers to vFat and NTFS, so that it may mount and manipulate Windows filesystems. It also has an open source implementation of SMB (Windows Networking.) called Samba, which can even share printers and files with Windows machines.
Which server would you set up to allow users to log in with the same username and password on all computers on a LAN?
A Samba Server allows Linux Systems to participate in a Windows Network, sharing Directories and Printers, and accessing those Directories shared by Windows systems. Samba includes a special share for accessing users' home directories. see smb.conf default includes same share. Pathname= /share/username

That's not really possible to predict based on current data. While Linux usage is increasing, it is not at a rate that directly affects Windows' market share.
Is Kodak all in one good printers?
yes they are Depending on how you intend to use them. If you use Linux not so good, Kodak doesn't have Linux drivers. You will be on your own to get it to work, if it is even possible. If you want to share it with other computers on a network, bidirectional support may give you problems. If you are connecting to one Windows computer they are very hard to beat.
Which TCP IP protocol is used by windows to share files and printers on a network?

How do you share files between Linux and Windows?
You can type in smb//192.168.1.1/ into a file manager window (put the windows computers IP address in there though)
Will Linux become a serious competitor to windows?
Linux already is a serious competitor to Windows, especially in markets outside of the desktop. Linux fully dominates over Windows on servers, mobile, routers, embedded, and supercomputing markets. Some are even believing Linux is fast becoming the industry standard operating system in these markets because of how readily it can be made to work. On the desktop, Linux is alsoa threat to Windows market share, by Microsoft's own admission. Look up the Halloween Documents, which are a series of leaked memos by someone high up in Microsoft addressing Linux as Microsoft's largest credible threat.
