Primarily unpaid and volunteer support through community forums and IRC rooms. Some distros have paid support available, though this option is not common for home users.

How do you give Red Hat Linux 7 support for USB flash drives?

This would require recompiling a custom kernel with USB Mass Storage backported to the 2.2 kernel. Given the great age of Red Hat 7 (nine years), it isn't worth the trouble. There are far more suitable modern distros you can use, even on the same hardware.


What is the program size of Linux?

Linux does not consist of just one program. Also, since parts can be added and removed, both to the Linux kernel, and the overlying system, it is impossible to give a definitive size of anything. A compressed Linux kernel image will probably measure about 8 MB on a typical desktop system. The cumulative size of the kernel modules ("drivers") is probably about 100 MB. Most distros are shipped on CDs, so to fit on them, they usually have no more than 1.5 GB of software to install by default.

How much memory can a Linux server use?

As much as you can give it. Architecturally, Linux can support 64 GB on an x86 server, and a theoretical 16 exabytes on an x86-64 (no current server can come close to supporting that much RAM in hardware).


Why should you run Linux instead of another operating system?

There are many reasons why users choose to use Linux over other popular operating systems such as Windows, Macintosh, or even other Unix-like systems. Here are some key reasons:Cost: Linux distributions are provided as free (as in freedom) software. Not only are Linux distributions free, but they give users freedom to do (almost) anything they want with the software, including sharing it with someone else.Freedom: While reverse-engineering or modifying Windows and Macintosh is downright illegal, it is actually encouraged for Linux users. While this applies equally to other free software projects, Linux is chosen for a combination of reasons. Other times, users do not trust Microsoft and Apple, which are the sole entities that governs Windows and Macintosh, respectively. With Linux, there is not central authority.Software: Many open-source projects are designed with Unix-like systems in mind. They tend to work better on Linux, and sometimes don't work at all on Windows or Macintosh.Security/Stability: Historically, Linux has been more secure than Windows and Macintosh. For the same reason, Linux is often deployed in server environments.Speed/Quality: Linux is the result of millions of people's work worldwide. Windows is the result of a bunch of developers sitting in Redmond. The result is usually a more polished, higher-quality system. Some users may notice a significant speed improvement when using Linux, while others may not.Control: If you don't like Linux's graphical interface, get another one (there are plenty). If you don't like how Windows 8 looks, you're stuck with it. With Linux, you can chose between a variety of different software. Some common window managers include GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE. If you hate all 4, there are still even more choices! If the taskbar clock urks you, you can get rid of it. Linux users have more control over their system.Support: Many commercial organizations offer paid support for Linux systems. While this is true for Windows, this is sometimes less true for other Unix systems.
