Linux

Of course it can, provided it doesn't use something stupid like ActiveX (Which is often considered very insecure on web sites and loads of experts consider the usage of things like ActiveX on a web site is extremely uncouth.). Web sites are not really compiled programs. Backend scripts are run by interpreters by the server, and your web browser is what's responsible, ultimately, for what you see.

It is also considered extremely bad form to block a user purely because you're unfamiliar with their operating system. Web developers do NOT develop for a particular platform aside from "the web."

In my personal opinion, No, a Linux server is the better answer for the web. I would recommend a windows server only when running asp/.net, and with the introduction of mono (an apache module), Linux machines can run .net (although I've never used this, myself, and it is in its infancy).

Linux, in general, has much better thread and memory handling than Windows. In a multi-threaded web server, it should serve you better.

Remember, that things like this are always a personal preference type of thing, and the debate between Windows and Linux is fierce. My advice would be to look up benchmarking information for Windows web servers and Linux web servers, and see which would suit your needs.

Click yes

If the printer is not supported in Linux, you may still be able to print to it by connecting it to an Windows computer and "sharing" it over the network. Make sure you have Samba installed.

No. Lindows is long obsolete.

This is an essay question, so you're supposed to write your own opinion and justification for it.

Slackware is the _most_ stable version of Linux. It is also (perhaps) the fastest version of Linux, and because Slackware relies _heavily_ on the usage of the Command Line, Slackware basically forces you to actually _learn_ how to (properly) use Linux. However, if you feel you may be dependent on GUI's (graphic user interfaces) such as how things are done in Windows, Mac & Android, then Slackware is definitely not for you. In short, if you really wish to learn Linux and/or you need rock solid stability - for use as a server, for example - then Slackware is the best choice.

No. Hybrid implies that there is a mix with something else. Fedora uses only the Linux kernel.

It isn't a question of precedence; it is a matter of which letter you specify first. For ls -lm you get a condensed listing of the directory. Reverse the letters and you get a long detailed listing.

ls -d merely lists the entry for the directory, or '.'

grep

It is "generic" in the sense that it does not have a specific purpose and can be used or adapted to a large variety of uses. It is not "generic" in the sense of uniqueness.

Linux is a kernel. It does not provide any other features of an operating system (such as an interface or programs). Linux is roughly the equivalent of ntoskrnl.exe in Windows 2000/XP/Vista. Complete operating systems containing the Linux kernel are usually referred to as "Linux distros."

For each name, the full file name of the command is determined by searching the directories in $PATH and remembered. If the -p option is supplied, no path search is performed, and filename is used as the full file name of the command. The -r option causes the shell to forget all remembered locations. The -d option causes the shell to forget the remembered location of each name. If the -t option is supplied, the full pathname to which each name corresponds is printed. If multiple namearguments are supplied with -t, the name is printed before the hashed full pathname. The -l option causes output to be displayed in a format that may be reused as input. If no arguments are given, or if only -l is supplied, information about remembered commands is printed. The return status is true unless a name is not found or an invalid option is supplied.

In file /etc/passwd

Mepis is an operating system, based on Linux. The advantages of Mepis compared to other Linux distributions are its lightness, its stability, and its simplicity of use.

An inode is a data structure on a traditional Unix-style file system such as UFS or ext3. An inode stores basic information about a regular file, directory, or other file system object.

Each and every file under Linux (and UNIX) has following attributes:

* File type (executable, block special etc) * Permissions (read, write etc) * Owner * Group * File Size * File access, change and modification time * File deletion time * Number of links (soft/hard) * Access Control List (ACLs)

All the above information is stored in an inode.

So, each file has an inode associated with it and an unique number called inode number.

This number is used to look up an entry in the inode table.

Config ?

Type top in a terminal to display Linux processes, which includes PID.

Yes, it is possible to put Tiny Core Linux on it. The procedure to install it (or any other operating system) involves making an adapter for the hard drive in the Evo and connecting it to another computer. This will involve extensive soldering skill.

All versions of the Linux kernel since 2.0 support IPv6. Most modern distros have IPv6 enabled, but as there are over 300 different distributions, it is impractical or impossible to list all of them.

Simply pressing Ctrl+Alt+F3 (or one of the other function keys will switch you to a terminal where you can log in and perform work. Depending on your distro, the X server is already running on one of the terminals; just press Ctrl+Alt and one of the function keys until you find it to switch back. On Ubuntu and Debian, this should be F7.

That depends on what steps you used in the installation program.

For the Mac there are numerous tools available. Macs come with a set of developer tools that, when installed, offer tools and utilities for assorted tasks. Depending what you are trying to achieve OxED or Hex Fiend (See links below) may be adequate.

There is no specific or singular program in Linux to "open an audio file." Just as in Windows, there are a large variety of media players to choose from. These include Amarok, Rhythmbox, Juk, VLC, MPlayer, Banshee, and Audacious.

If you download Linux to your mac, nothing will happen until you initiate the installer. If you want to install Linux but keep Mac OS also installed, you will need to partition your hard drive. This can be done using the Disk Utility application that is found in the Utilities folder of Application. Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
