How do you mount a drive in Unix?
In order to mount a drive, if it is a network drive, you must have an NFS server installed and an NFS client on the machine you wish to mount the directory for. The NFS server will export the file system to the network, and the NFS client machine will mount it. To mount it on a client machine, create or use an empty directory. Then, using the 'mount' command, indicate the server name and directory on the server and the mount point of the client. For example: mount tarzan:/opt/testing/data /mnt Will mount a directory from the 'tarzan' server called /opt/testing/data under the /mnt directory of the client. So when a client looks at /mnt, they are really looking at /opt/testing/data on the server.

Why you are not able to open multiple session of a Unix server through Putty?
'putty' only allows one window to connect to a system at a time; I don't like that behavior either, but that is the way it was designed. To get multiple sessions to a Unix server I have to execute multiple occurrences of 'putty'.
How do you install PHP on Unix?
To install from source, you may have to use ./configure make make install each in case the server is a unix server
What is the advantage of mounting a drive?
In a UNIX type environment you need to "mount" a drive to logically attach it to the operating system. Before you use the "mount" command, the drive is just a hunk of hardware hanging out there somewhere and the operating system doesn't know how to use it. After you "mount" the drive it is available for read/write, just as you would expect with any computer drive.

Are unix hosting and Linux hosting the same?
Linux hosting and Unix hosting are not exactly the same thing. Linux hosting and Unix hosting refer to the software operating system employed by the servers of the host. The primary communication being made when a server is described as Unix or Linux is that it is not a Microsoft product. Unix comes in several proprietary versions, Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) and AT&T are two well known commercial versions of Unix. They own and control intellectual property associated with Unix. Linux is a nonproprietary version of Unix. There are many flavors of this. All are "open source." The intellectual property is controlled by one of the various open source models, GPL being the most well know. If a person says they have a Unix server, they may or may not mean the proprietary version of Unix. For many people, unix is a generic reference and can mean Unix or Linux. If a person says they have a Linux server, then it is a Linux operating system. It may be one of over a hundred different types of Linux, but it is based on an open source version of Unix. Note that it is possible to co-mingle the proprietary and nonproprietary versions of Unix, but this is not typically a matter of concern unless you are an expert or unless you are using Apple's version of "open source" Linux. Apple's version works pretty much like open source Linux, mostly, sometimes.
