You have to use so called SMB server (usually it's included in each Linux installation) which allows to communicate Linux with windows.
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.
Windows XP is not in the direct upgrade path of Red Hat Linux 8.0. If you want to install Windows XP on a computer / server with RHL, you need to check the hardware specifications to see if Windows XP supports it.
Try the website in the related link. It's a downloadable emulator - that runs just like a Linux machine - without having to remove windows first. Simply follow the instructions for downloading.
Google Earth runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac, and Linux computers. There is also a mobile version. See related link to download.
Yes and no. Linux will not run Windows applications by itself, however, there are ample tools written for Linux that permit you to run Windows applications on Linux. The open-source WINE software will run a majority of Windows software on Linux. You can even configure Linux to automatically recognize Windows applications and use WINE to run them. Alternatively, there's a wide variety of virtual machine products that permit you to run the Windows operating system as an application under Linux, and, in turn, any Windows applications inside the Windows virtual environment. Finally, some "Windows applications" are written in .Net or Java and can be run directly under Linux using mono and java respectively (albeit, some .Net applications will not yet run under mono).
Well it depends what software you have if it is windows the you will see a Windows asking for activation or user and password set up. In Linux it will be user login.
Yes, Google Earth supports Windows 7 in addition to Macintosh and Linux systems. For full system requirements (minimum and recommended configurations) see related links.
Windows XP. Windows 98 never had a secure design to begin with, and it has received no security updates since 2006. Windows XP is still receiving security updates, and will continue to do so until 2014.
If your computer is part of a domain, you won't see the "Switch User" choice on logout. This is because that functionality is disabled for Domain-homed Windows machines.
It purely depends on what your server setup is (i.e windows or linux) see this page for additional help: http://uk.php.net/mssql
If you're installing it in a dual-boot system, you must have ample space left over. Additionally it's recommended you install Windows first, then the Linux distribution of your choice because Windows will overwrite the MBR with its bootloader and it will not recognize any Linux partitions (however, you can reinstall the bootloader if you pop in a live CD/USB later). If you're replacing Linux with Windows, use the partitioner of your choice in a live CD/USB and delete all the partitions (or just wipe by zeroing the disk) and start the Windows installer upon reboot.
There are two ways of doing this:Use a virtualization program such as VirtualBox to install run Linux and Windows side by side at the same time.Partition your hard drive and install Linux to an empty partition to set up a dual boot partition. Be careful with this option; you can damage your files if you make a mistake, but you'd get much better performance than if you took option one. See the related links for a good guide on how to do this.
