I suppose the easiest way to do that would be to use ls and pipe it to word count

ls | wc -l

the -l switch is for number of Lines

for all files, including hidden files (ie .xfce4) use

ls -a | wc -l

hope i could help

Why is Linux said to be a virus-free operating system?

Ya Linux is virus free OS, How?? Answer: Linux OS Extracted files and folders are kept hidden which cannot be accessed by viruses. Now what are Viruses?? Viruses are the files which carry the path-name of the WINDOWS FOLDER present in Windows OS where all the functional .(DOT)dll files are stored. Once these .dll files get corrupted then the PC starts behaving like a mad bull. So, these .dll kind (not the same format files) of files are also their in Linux OS but they are kept hidden, as a result the virus path cannot find them. Thus, no damage but still the files stored by the user on a Linux machine get corrupted.

That would be the "Program Files" folder. It is usually on C: drive. With a 64 bit system you will have a "Program Files" folder, and a "(x86) Program files" folder.

"Linux OS 2010" doesn't exist. The closest thing to a "folder with a pass word" in Linux is using something like EncFS. encfs encrypted decrypted Provide a passphrase when prompted. Then move the files you to keep encrypted to decrypted, and then unmount it with fusermount -u decrypted. To open it again, you run the first command again and supply the passphrase you gave the first time.
