Which is the most widely supported package type available in Linux?
The majority of distributions are based on Debian and thus use the DEB package format. For commercial purposes, however, most proprietary software will be distributed in RPM format (used by SuSE, Red Hat, and Mandriva-derived distros).
Is SELinux preinstalled in Arch Linux?
No. Its support status in Arch Linux is currently unofficial with the official Arch kernel. However, if you want SELinux, there is a hardened version of the kernel you can install, along with a few rebuilds of core packages with SELinux support from the AUR. The information on what packages need to be rebuilt can be looked up in the SELinux article in the ArchWiki.
What does dhcpd stand for in Linux?
its the name of a DHCP daemon. It can be used to manage ip adresses in a network.
What are 2 non-desktop computer uses for Linux?
Not only can Linux be run on desktop computers, but it can also be run on servers and other types of computers such as tablets and embedded computers. Linux is an open source operating system that is based on Unix, and Unix was first used for computer server applications.
What Services are needed to program in Linux?
To program in linux, you just have to pick out a programming language, and use your favorite text editor or IDE to start programming.
Most prodominantly, programs are written in C or C++ and can be compiled with the Gnu C Compiler (gcc) or g++
if your program is in an interpreted language, such as perl or python, you just have to make sure you have the interpreter installed.
What open-source operating system can run Windows XP programs?
Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Darwin can run a limited number of Windows programs using Wine.
How do you prevent deadlock in Linux?
Deadlock is not really anything a user has to worry about. Deadlock is merely what happens when two objects want to make the use of each other's resource, but won't release the resource they have until they get the resource they want.
How this is usually prevented is to have an object drop ANY resource it no longer needs before trying to get a new resource. This is just one approach, as it doesn't stop deadlock if both objects need the resource they have but need a resource the other object needs.
What does the 'which' command do in Linux?
The "which" command returns the absolute path of the executable that is called when a command is issued. For instance, 'which firefox'. This is useful in determining whether you are using a locally compiled version or the distribution version of a program.
Yes. Most operating systems have some form of Java for them.
What are the major steps necessary for implementing routing on a Linux network?
Answer:
NOTE: It is suspected that this question has been reproduced from an exam, quiz or test of some sort.
Step 1
The question is vague, but if you intend to use a Linux machine as a router you'll need multiple physical interfaces connected with your cat 5 or other cabling as well as all switches etc. set up and operating.
Step 2
Configure your connected ethernet interfaces (typically with ifconfig).
Step 3
Configure your routing table (typically with the route command or it's equivalent).
Step 4
Make any necessary changes to your routing host firewall (typically iptables or other).
Step 5
Enjoy the fruit of your labors.
NOTE: Much has intentionally be omitted from this answer because the question is too vague to justify a detailed response.
While you could use any text editor you like, the most direct way would be:
$ cat filename
Of course, if the text is large and spammy, you might wanna make it something you can handle a little better:
$ cat filename | less
I prefer less to more as more only lets you scroll down, whereas less lets you go both ways.
Why can't we use Linux OS in embedded system instead of VxWorks?
Depending on the system in question, you can. VxWorks has lower hardware requirements than Linux, so it is often used in weaker systems.
It was originally created to be a temporary fork of Debian to allow for the development of strong desktop features for it.
In the end, however, Ubuntu stayed forked and Debian doesn't generally benefit from Ubuntu's feature set.
Short answer: Ubuntu was created to produce a "user friendly" version of Debian.
Why does Windows have better driver support than Linux?
First of all, its debatable whether Windows' driver support is "better." The current Linux kernel supports more devices than any single Windows release. Linux also supports more legacy devices than Windows Vista or Windows 7 and supports numerous architectures not supported at all by Windows. Drivers in Linux are also usually considered to be more stable than the drivers supplied by the manufacturer for Windows.
The reason new off-the-shelf devices may work in Windows but not in Linux is the result of a vicious cycle. Basically, some manufacturers are unwilling to expend the resources to develop Linux drivers and/or do not want to provide the documentation to do so, on the grounds that not many people use Linux. In turn, not many people use Linux because some of their devices won't work. Linux developers are more than willing to develop drivers for the device even if the manufacturer does not want to, but if the manufacturer doesn't provide at least some technical data, it is extremely difficult.
How do you change the file system size in Linux?
You can't resize a mounted partition, so you can't resize the root file system while the installed copy of Linux is running. To resize it, you should use a LiveCD like GParted that contains a partition editor.
How do you download Sabayon Linux without a DVD burner?
Downloading it does not require a DVD burner; only burning it to a DVD does. If you don't have a DVD burner, there is a smaller CD ISO image you can use to install it (as long as you have a CD burner). You can also use UNetbootin to install it to a USB Flash drive from Windows. If you have another hard drive in your system, you can also install it in "Frugal" mode to that drive, although performance will be somewhat impaired.
How does Linux know what program to open files with?
The exact method the desktop environment uses (it is not a feature of the Linux kernel itself) that selects a program to open a file with varies slightly, but works something like this:
1. The file manager / explorer tries to identify what type of file it is. Unlike in Windows, this is not determined by the file extension, but by various identifying features in the file, such as "magic numbers", or commonly used strings, and syntax used in specific types of plaintext documents.
2. The file is matched by its type to a program.
3. The file manager launches the program with the path to the file as an input parameter, much like entering "programname filename" on the command line.
Why it is important to run the lilo command before installing the LILO boot loader?
It's not. Running the lilo command either installs LILO or updates it, so you can't run it before installing LILO.
How you install and uninstall a new package in Linux?
Depends on the distribution
Debian & deriviatives (ex. ubuntu):

yum remove packagename
Gentoo:
emerge packagename
emerge unmerge packagename
Arch:
pacman -S packagename
pacman -R packagename
For others you may have to compile:
tar xvzf package.tar.gz (or tar xvjf package.tar.bz2)
