Linux

Yes. Linux has been ported to over a dozen CPU architectures, such as PowerPC, SPARC, Alpha, MIPS, SH-3, SH-4, ARM, and the Motorola 68k.

P.S. - AMD processors are considered Intel-compatible.

no

These are the questions one should ask him/herself:

1. Do I know how to put Windows back if I decide I don't like it?

2. Do I know how to make the computer boot from a CD / DVD?

3. Do I know if all of my hardware is supported?

4. Do I have any programs that I need to run that a.) don't have a Linux equivalent, and b.) don't work under Wine?

5. Will my warranty be voided on my computer if I install another operating system?

The time command is used to time a command and not display the actual time. To display the time and date, the date command must be used.

There's no inherent cost, other than that of downloading and creating a CD or purchasing a copy for a nominal fee. Learning to use the system and migrating apps or finding replacements factor in to the "cost", especially for enterprises, but the cost would be similar even if migrating to a proprietary incompatible operating system.

grep 'ace electronics' phonelist

will return all the lines in the file phonelist that contain the phrase 'ace electronic'

grep -i 'ace electronics' phonelist

will do likewise but case-insensitively

A DNS is a Domain Name Server. A domain is the name of a website, such as wiki.answers.com. Without a domain name server, you would need to know the IP address for the website. But with DNS, the name of the website is matched up automatically to the IP address.

A network manager is an application or daemon that saves, loads, and applies settings to the network devices in the computer. They are used in preference to the traditional configuration files in /etc/network when the user needs to quickly switch between different networking profiles (such as switching wireless networks).

There are a range of versions of Linux - part of it's appeal is that it can be used for a wide range of computers, from phones to supercomputers.

Linux is based on the Unix operating system; both can offer real time, multitasking, multiuser, lightweight and flexible systems - although not necessarily all of these at the same time.

Tux does not correspond precisely to any real-world penguin species. Torvalds was inspired to have a penguin as a mascot after an attack by a Fairy Penguin. In appearance, Tux most closely resembles the Adelie Penguin.

Response time measures the performance of an individual transaction or query. Response time is typically treated as the elapsed time from the moment that a user enters a command or activates a function until the time that the application indicates the command or function has completed. The response time for a typical Dynamic Server application includes the following sequence of actions. Each action requires a certain amount of time.

Different operating systems have differing features, though they all have the primary function of controlling the software and programs running on a computer or other device. Popular features include: A start menu or application menu (Windows, Linux) Multiple desktop workspaces (Linux, Mac OS X) Taskbar (Windows, Linux) or dock (Mac OS X, also Linux) to track favorite program shortcuts and active applications A desktop environment. Linux has GNOME or KDE (and a few others), Mac has Aqua, and Windows Vista has Aero. Desktop acceleration (Mac OS X, Linux using Compiz or similar, and Windows Vista Premium, Business, or Ultimate)

From Start menu open "Run"

Type %temp% hit enter

Now the files shown in the file explorer are temporary internet files which you can delete as required.

You can also delete the temp files, clear history, clear cache date etc from web browsers settings. Different browser have different preferences and settings for the same.

gcc is the most common C-compiler for GNU/Linux platform.

I am also finding you can use this: System.out.println("\033");

I have checked it in Eclipse. Please check it in any other compiler/ IDE.

Sorry Doesn't work with my Java 6

Output -

/033

/033 : Your slash is the wrong way around ("\033", not "/033").

No. Windows and Linux have different APIs and ABIs for programs to access. You cannot run Linux binaries on Windows, and you can only run Windows binaries on Linux if you have Wine installed.

Unix is a classification of operating systems that conform to a certain specification, based on that of the original Unix operating system created by AT&T. Systems certified as Unix can differ drastically, but must meet at least certain common elements.

Solaris is an implementation of Unix created by Sun Microsystems.

Linux is a family of operating systems based on a kernel written by Linus Torvalds. It shares some design goals and similarities with Unix, but has several advanced features and is not completely compatible with Unix. Legally, for a system to be described as "Unix", it must undergo a certification process. No Linux distribution has ever undergone this (very expensive) certification process to make it compliant with Unix standards.

Solaris uses older, POSIX-compliant utilities. Linux typically uses GNU utilities, which are generally compatible, but have different command switches and more features. This is beginning to change with the OpenSolaris project, which incorporates many GNU utilities.

Solaris and Linux both have features that the other lacks, and are not found in other Unix implementations either. These include DTRace and the ZFS file system (in Solaris) and dynamically loadable kernel modules and epoll (in Linux).

System administration tasks must generally be performed by the 'Administrator' username. This is the default name but it may changed in user accounts settings.

Very little. C is a very common language to write operating systems in.

Most programs you can download in source form can be compiled using the following simple steps:

1. Extract the source package (ex. 'tar xzvf programname-version.tar.gz'), this will create directory programname-version. Chdir into it.

2. Run './configure'. This checks the build environment to make sure your compiler works and has the proper libraries installed.

3. Run 'make'. This compiles the program.

4. Run 'make install'. This places the binaries in the appropriate location(s).

5. Depends on GCC version also

There is very little difference in the C compiler between Unix and Linux; in some cases (the gcc compiler) it is the same.

The differences come in when using system calls; some system calls do not exist in Unix or Linux, although most do. The program I work on compiles the same way (for the most part) between all commercial versions of Unix and several variants of Linux. In other words, the code is fairly portable across platforms.

It isn't. In fact it is a very good idea. Since the list is circular, you need only maintain a reference to the tail (rather than the head), because the tail provides constant time access to both the head and the tail. In this way you get constant time insertions at the tail and constant time extractions at the head via a single reference -- exactly what you want from a queue. If the list were not circular, you would need two references, one to the head and one to the tail. That's a waste of memory when the tail has an otherwise redundant link that's always null. Point it at the head and refer to the tail instead of the head and you save memory.

CodeBlocks is an extensible, cross-platform IDE but it does not come with a compiler nor a linker since they are platform-specific. When you first run the IDE, it will scan your system for all supported compilers and integrate them into your IDE If you have more than one supported compiler, then you must choose the master compiler. But if you have no compiler, then you must add one. To build an EXE you must configure the project's compiler and linker switches according to your chosen compiler. Consult the compiler's own documentation for more information on this.

Open it (open of fopen), read the data (read or fread), then close it (close or fclose).
