Can you install bandoo for ubuntu?
Bandoo is not compatible with linux, and therefore Ubuntu, and is not likely to be for the near-future.
How do you format a hard drive with ubuntu?
The question is slightly ambiguous.
A hard drive is a physical device which reads and writes blocks of data. The drive itself can not be a Linux hard drive, or a Windows hard drive, it simply deals in blocks.
The file system on the hard drive however can be created by several operating systems; Linux, Windows, Mac OSX as well as many others. The file systems are mostly incompatible between operating systems.
For example.
Windows can read and write NTFS but in general not ext3fs.
Linux can read and write ext3fs but in general not NTFS.
Any drive formatted for one file system can be re-formatted to another file system by any operating system which supports the drive hardware. So to re-format a Linux (e.g. ext3fs) formatted drive, simply treat it as a blank drive and follow the Windows instructions for formatting a drive. It's important to note that when you re-format a drive, any data on it is overwritten and lost.
If you want to know how to format an ext3fs (Linux file system) on a drive while using Windows. The short answer is you can't. In general operating systems are unable to format drives for non native file systems. Even when drivers are available so it can be read and written to, it's generally still not possible to format the drive.
that is:
Windows cannot format a drive with a Linux file system (e.g. ext3)
Linux cannot format a drive with a Windows file system (e.g. ntfs)
If you simply want to share files between a Linux and Windows system though, there are some file systems which both operating systems can read and write to. FAT and FAT32 are the most commonly used examples. This file system is very old, limited and doesn't support most modern features but is compatible across many if not most operating systems.
There are several types of bootloaders - it's up to you to decide which one to use (isolinux, syslinux, LILO, Grub [or Grub Legacy], and Burg are some to get you started).
What is the default browser for Ubuntu?
Ubuntu includes Mozilla Firefox by default. The web browser for Kubuntu is Konqueror.
What are the advantages of Fedora over Ubuntu?
Linux is an operating system kernel. By itself, it can do very little. It needs to be combined with an interface and applications in order to be useful. When you take the kernel and add the parts to create a working system, you create what is called a "Linux distrbution", or "distro." Fedora is an example of a Linux distro.
In summary, Linux is a kernel, and Fedora is a full operating system.

What is the Ubuntu Server used for?
The Ubuntu Server is used to see how many of one server is being used in a specific area, and is also used as a web server. It shows symbols over places in America and Europe where people use it.
basically, if i understand your question, you want to know in plain ol' english what a kernel is. Basically it is just the main part of the operating system that gets information from applications and submits it to hardware for processing. If you want more specific info regarding a kernel, check out the wikipedia page for it.

What is the most powerful text editor in Ubuntu?
Different users have different opinions about what the best text editor is. Believe it or not, this was a major flamewar topic throughout the 80s and early 90s. Vi, Vim, eMacs, and nano are all popular choices for command-line text editors. There isn't as much flaming in the GUI arena, but there is an even larger array of choices there.
What is a good Linux distribution for an offline computer?

Which command do you use to edit password file in Linux?
Hmm... The recommended method of changing your password on Linux (or Unix for that matter), is to use the passwd command.
To change another user's password, switch user to rootand issue the command:
# passwd other_user
Your question seems to indicate that you really want to directly edit your passwd and shadow files on your Linux distribution. Unless you really, really know what you're doing, I recommend against this.
If you do know what you're doing, use the vi (or other editor - vi is the best editor ever made though) editor and directly edit your /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.
Of course, should you subsequently discover you can no longer access your system, it may behoove you to go back to your Linux/Unix basics and begin all over again. May I suggest, as an excellent starting point, learn all that you can about the world's most wonder editor, the editor vi. :)
Does Ubuntu support dual processors?
Yes. By default, Ubuntu has supported multi processing since Ubuntu 5, due to the default kernel that loads is and SMP kernel. In other words it assumes a system has multiprocessing. If of course you don't, there is no degradation in performance.
How do you get wired and wireless on ubuntu 9.10?
For wireless cards that do not work out of the box, you will need to identify the wireless chipset used. You can do this by running "lspci" in a terminal, and looking for names such as "Broadcom, Realtek, Atmel, etc... Afterwards, you can install a third-party module by connecting via Ethernet and running
sudo apt-get install [package name]
The package you will want to install depends on the chipset.
Atmel - atmel-firmware
Broadcom - bcm43xx-fwcutter
Do you have to have Linux to install Ubuntu?
You can update Ubuntu later as well without any issues. ... If there are other operating systems installed, you may get the option to install Ubuntu along with them in dual boot.

How do you install sound card drivers in Ubuntu?
Installing a software for any type of HARDWARE is called as a DRIVER. U need to find out the driver program for your Hardware and install it and then install a hardware that u want to be recognized by an Operating System that your machine uses. U can download the driver program on your hard-drive and double click it to install. Then simply reboot your machine (ofcourse after installing the hardware). The OS is your machine will recognize the type of Hardware that you have installed, and then you can configure or USE that hardware ... in your case Sound Card .... :)

Which command may be used to change to the root and start a new shell?
That would be the chroot command. Usually when this is used one mounts the pseudo filesystems (/dev /sys /proc) and then explicitly invoke the shell they want to use in the new root environment, like so:
# chroot /mnt/debian /bin/bash
There are other options, refer to the chroot man page. What this command does is tells the current session that / should now be at /mnt/debian and to invoke /bin/bash as soon as the root is set up.
Changing root is primarily used in two ways. One is to effectively set up a rescue environment for Linux from live media so you can use the tools of the target system and not the host system to do your work (Pretty much essential for adjusting kernel stuff/installing bootloaders correctly, the other is actually fakeroot: It's how most Linux package management systems actually work, by creating a fake root tree so that packages have a tree that exactly duplicates the location the files would be in when installed. This way the package manager simply has to extract the file to / to install the files precicely where they need to go. (Most package management has a little more complexity than this, but this is how package managers work in terms of the actual file management.)
In January 2012, the people at Ubuntu estimated that 20 million people use their operating system.
What is the function of the Unix kernel?
The kernel is the essential center of a computer operating system, the core that provides basic services for all other parts of the operating system. A synonym is nucleus. A kernel can be contrasted with a shell, the outermost part of an operating system that interacts with user commands. Kernel and shell are terms used more frequently in Unix operating systems than in IBM mainframe or Microsoft Windows systems.
Defnition from Wikipedia:
In computer science, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating system(OS). Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). As a basic component of an operating system, a kernel provides the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially memory, processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application programs through interprocess communication mechanisms and system calls.
These tasks are done differently by different kernels, depending on their design and implementation. While monolithic kernels will try to achieve these goals by executing all the code in the same address space to increase the performance of the system, microkernels run most of their services in user space, aiming to improve maintainability and modularity of the codebase. A range of possibilities exists between these two extremes.
How do you share files on Ubuntu?
