How do you install Windows programs in Linux?
To install a Windows program, you will need to have Wine installed. You can install this through Synaptic, or through the command line with the command
sudo apt-get install wine
After Wine is installed, you can run the installer by either right-click the program and selecting "Open with", and choosing Wine, or from the command line with the command
wine setup.exe
The setup program should launch and run; just follow the instructions as you would in Windows. To run the actual program, either find the program in your applications menu (probably under either "Wine" or "Lost and Found"), or navigate to the program's installation directory inside your home directory (ex. /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WinRar ) and launch it with the command
wine program.exe

Generally when one uses a server, one has at least some idea of what they want to do with it, if not how. Ubuntu Server can be used for many different purposes, including a web server, a print server, a mail server, and a DNS server.

http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
What does "user-friendly" really mean? Well, in the context in which it is used, "user friendly" software means "Software that can be used to a reasonable level of competence by a user with no previous experience of the software." This has the unfortunate effect of making familiar interfaces fall into the category of "user-friendly".
Linux is necessarily different to Windows. Inescapably, Linux always appears less "user-friendly" than Windows.
Obviously, it will take some getting used to but once you learn Linux it is a good alternative.

Shell scripting is scripting that uses the Windows Script Host shell.
While the above answer may be true for Windows based systems, for Unix and Unix-like systems shell scripting is the ability to create a file of commands and to have them executed automatically, including unattended operation. It is used in the cases where one wishes to automate a process with a given series of commands to be used many times.
Shell scripting allows one to automate processes, thereby reducing errors and misspellings by putting the commands in a file and telling the system to execute the commands.
What is the Linux command to create a file named security?
As files can be of any number of types, there is no single command that will do this. You would use the program associated with that file type to create a file. If you wanted to create a "blank" file, that has no content and uses no space, use the command touch filename.
