The man command of the Linux operating system is the system's documentation pager. Each page argument given to man is normally the name of a program, utility or function. For example, to see the reference manual of the grep program: man grep
What switch to the LS command lets you view a list of files and their type?
syntax:
ls -aF
-a option is for hidden files
-F is for directories and executable files
Have a Dell 966 printer Is there a Lexmark cartridge that will work?
The answer seems to be "no" - I bought the Lexmark version of this cartridge, and it doesn't work - the chip on it causes the printer to read "invalid cartridge". Some older versions used an additional slot to differentiate between Dell and Lexmark, but they've now gone down the hardware route and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
That means you have to order from Dell, and I need to print today. $50 from Office Depot down the drain and no other option. I'm selling this POS printer and buying one from a company that doesn't so blatantly screw its customers.

What is the command to list all files in a directory?
ls (ie lower case LS)
In DOS: dir
If there are many files in the directory, type, "dir/p/o" ...this will stop the listing when the page fills up and list them in alphabetical order... press any key to continue to the next page of listed files.
If you're only interested in the name of the files (not the date/size etc.) you can add /B
The Linux superuser is called "root." There is very little root cannot do. This is why it is a Very Bad Idea to do anything as root unless absolutely necessary. Use sudo instead with commands that need it.
What is the meaning of the logo of Arch Linux?
The swirl used as Debian's logo refers to "magical smoke." When you blow up a computer, the "magical smoke" is released, and the computer no longer works. Debian is meant to be part of the magical smoke that makes your computer work.
Should a Swap partition for Linux 2.4 kernels be at least half the size of the physical RAM?
None. Swap is to be put on the hard disk.
Do NOT mistake secondary storage for "physical RAM." Physical RAM is actually the term used in context of the actual system memory in your computer.
Also, Linux 2.4 is an ancient codebase, obsolete kernel version that isn't even supported by kernel.org anymore. You should be using 2.6.32.61 or later.
Finally, the rule of thumb is 1.5 times the amount of physical RAM. So, if I have 4 GiB of system memory, then I'll make a 6 GiB swap partition.
Which Linux command can you use to display a file in alphabetical order?
Generally the default behavior of the 'ls' command will list them in alpha order.
What is the latest version of Linux Mint?
There is no one "current Linux operating system" due to the fact that Linux is developed and distributed in various forms by many different individuals and corporations. The current version of Linux depends on which of these "distributions" you are interested in installing.
For example, a popular distribution of Linux tailored for use as a Desktop system is Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com), which is distributed by the company Canonical. The current release of Ubuntu is 8.04, which was released in April this year.
There are literally hundreds of distributions freely available online, but other distributions which are of note in the desktop arena include Fedora (www.fedoraproject.org), openSUSE (www.opensuse.org) and Debian (www.debian.org), each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Each distribution has its own release schedule, but you can find out what the current version is (and download it) from the official websites.
Do you need to create a primary partition for every os installed on a dual boot computer?
No. Windows is pretty much the only operating system that cares about primary vs. logical partitions when it comes to booting. Linux will happily live in logical partitions.
That being said, with UEFI becoming that standard, logical vs. primary partitions aren't even going to be concepts anymore, as the GPT scheme doesn't limit partition counts the same way as MBR, allowing hundreds of primary partitions, way more than even highly specialized applications would ever need.
Can you recover a root password in Linux?
No, none of the passwords used in a Linux system can be "recovered" because there isn't a reverse encryption for it.
However, you can "reset" the root password by using the single-user mode at boot time (which puts you in the root account automatically) and then changing at that time.
Nobody. Code is contributed by and remains the property of the many volunteers and employees of various companies.
How do you install Linux software from a CD?
Installing Ubuntu is easy! Simply follow the following steps:
Note: Canonical no longer offers the option to deliver a pre-made Live-CD for free. You can still order one, if you don't feel like making the CD yourself.
Which command will display the last lines of the text file called file1in Linux?
Tail command is used to display the last lines of the file.
Syntax:
tail -n 3 file1
-n 3 = no. of lines
file1 = filename
Does Linux provide command line user interface?
The Linux kernel itself does not include a GUI. However, most Linux distributions have one.
Yes, Linux have a GUI.Today many kind of vendor available in Linux Like Redhat fedora,Ubuntu,Suse, Mandriva and many more. Those Linux version provide Cmd and GUI mode for work.
While any unassigned and high level port could be used for SSH it is typically assigned to port 22 on a standard setup.
You would need to set up forwarding on that port on your router to the internal IP address in question.
What script contains the default runlevels?
The default runlevel is specified in /etc/inittab. There is no universally accepted runlevel that is specified as the "default." Red Hat and Fedora use 3 or 5, Ubuntu uses 2, Mandriva and SUSE use 5, and Gentoo uses 3. Some (a relatively small number) Linux distros do not use a SysV init style, and thus have no runlevels at all.
What year was Linux first released?
Linux began its life in mid-1991, and reached 1.0 in 1994.
The current version of the Linux kernel is 2.6, which came to its first release in 2003, though the most up to date 2.6 kernels don't resemble the original 2.6 kernel much. To the point the first two version numbers are pretty meaningless. As for the rest... the third number increments and the kernel gets a feature release every 3 months, which will introduce some new features, change others, and remove some. The fourth number will release frequently, but with no set pattern aside from the patch being "ready." Patch releases are purely for bug fixes.
There are older versions of the kernel available effectively for long term support purposes. They are often considered very stable and will generally only be used on servers and distributions without a very rapid release schedule.
Current stable kernel version: 2.6.38.5.
Is Linux an application software?
Most applications are available at your distribution's repositories, however depending on the kind of distribution, you may have the option to use user-created repositories that allow you to use applications or dependencies that offer features the official packages do not have, or that the official packages are not offered due to legal issues (some distributions have a strict policy against including non-free/proprietary software in their repositories).
What are the differences between Knoppix and Windows XP?
Windows costs money, but Ubuntu is Linux-based and free. Ubuntu is one of many distributions, or versions, of Linux. Personally, I like Linux better than Windows but Windows programs can't run natively on Linux (and vice versa) so many Linux users still use windows because they need to run certain programs. Compatibility/"emulation" (in quotes because it isn't true emulation) is available in the form of the Linux program WINE (stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator). Linux, in general, is not intended for those who are not experienced with computers, and the sterotypical Linux users are computer programmers. However, several more recent distributions have broken this mold, including Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a very user-friendly distribution, and an excellent place for someone curious about starting with Linux to start. Personally, I prefer the distribution openSuSe, but it requires a slightly higher experience level with Linux to use effectively.
Was Linux the original operating system with a command line interface?
No. Linux is a Unix-Like and mostly POSIX compliant OS assembled under the model of free and open source software development and distribution. -Wikipedia.
Linux is not considered an operating system but the kernel. If you combine the linux kernel with some utilities, mainly utilities (software) created as a result of the GNU project, you get GNU Linux. Now that's a complete Operating System.
