Linux is an open source operating system used on computers that would generally run Windows OS. There are many versions of Linux being developed by various interest groups.

How do you create directory or folder in Linux?

There's actually no such thing as a "hidden" file or folder in Linux. In Windows, files and folders are hidden by setting a file attribute on them, and is used to prevent novice users from viewing or modifying them. In Linux, a file or folder can be "hidden" from most shells and file managers by simply prefixing a "." in front of the name (.settings, for instance). A simple 'View > Show hidden files' or "ls -a" is all it takes to list them. The purpose is thus purely for cosmetic / organizational purposes.

What parameter and value is used to allow ssh logins as root to the openssh server as long as the user enters the password?

Before I answer, a warning: This is a highly dangerous setting that is not recommended. This allows direct access to the root account of a remote machine, making it especially vulnerable to SSH server exploits. It is *much* better to install and use sudo with a regular user, especially through SSH. Crackers will be looking for root accounts, not normal users as their names are hard to predict. Finding an SSH server that happily allows a root login is precisely what evildoers are hoping for.

Now, to answer your question: To log in as root: "PermitRootLogin yes" in /etc/etc/sshd_config... As long as there's no keypair associated with root on either machine it should require a password. But do yourself a favor and install sudo instead.

Why does my external hard drive work in Linux but not in Windows?

The most likely reason is that the drive was formatted with a Linux file system. Reformatting the drive to NTFS or FAT32 will make the drive usable in Windows. You could also install an ext4 driver in Windows to access the drive without reformatting it.

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

there is a program you can download on Linux called "wine" that program allows you to choose programs on windows which can be compatible with Linux
