Which is the best user friendly Linux package?

In short: Ubuntu Linux

But you need to remember what User Friendly means, and that Linux is NOT Windows.

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.

What is shell scripting?

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.

How do you run a windows program in wine without the GUI?

Wine can be executed from a terminal with the command wine application.exe, substituting application.exe with the name of the program you want to run. You'll have to either supply a pathname or change your working directory to where the program is located.

Can a windows developed website be hosted by 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."

What are the functions of the three system components in the Linux operating system?

1. There is no the Linux operating system.

2. Only one component is strictly necessary to make a Linux operating system - the kernel.

Is a Windows server better than a Linux server for 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.

What if your printer is not supporting to Linux?

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.

Should business and consumer PC users switch to Linux PC operating systems like lindows and software suites like sun's staroffice?

No. Lindows is long obsolete.

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

What the advantage of slackware?

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.

Is Fedora a hybrid of Linux?

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

What is the output of ls-lm and ls-ml Which option takes procedure What is the result of ls-d?

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 '.'

Is Linux a generic operating system?

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.

Is Linux an operating systems?

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."

What does hash builtin do in Linux?

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.
