If you are talking about accessing the partition from Linux, the kernel file system driver does not allow writing to NTFS partitions. You can write to the partition in Linux if you install the NTFS-3G file system. This is the only form of "write-protection" that should be on your system.

It is not possible to install Xfce on Damn Small Linux without extensive modification. Damn Small Linux uses a very crude Xserver that is not capable of rendering Xfce. Also, the versions of several libraries needed for Xfce are too old. It would be far easier to start of with a distro that supported Xfce from the start, like Xubuntu.

Depending on what kind of server it is, connections can be very transient. The 'netstat -nat' command should print out a list of current TCP connections.

POSIX is a IEEE standart family with the puprpose of maintaining compatibility between operating systems. It defines command line shells, utility interfaces and the application programming interface. It is most commonly applied to Unix based operating systems, such as the various Linux distributions or MacOS.

Putting a password on your bios will prevent anyone but the user from running the computer let alone installing another operating system. Can't think of any other way to prevent operating systems from being installed/used. Encrytped hard drives can be formatted. Password protected bootloaders don't prevent other systems from being installed.

There are thousands of pieces of software in existence. It would be impractical, if not impossible, to list every piece of software that was not compatible with Linux.

The Album information is stored in the metadata of the audio files on the CD. When you rip the CD, the information is usually transferred automatically.

A 1500 line commands that create in c++.this is the first Linux operating system made by linus torvalds for the purpose of teach the students only.

An enlightened printer manufacturer my have a Linus/Unix printer driver available for the printer (Apple's OS is build on top of Unix!) so look on the manufacturers web site. [HP provides open source drivers for most of their printers as part of the HPLIP project. ]

However in general the Open Source model does not approve of proprietary printer drivers and the Linux way is to provide generic printing capability using what is called the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS - see the related link below). This means that even though you can not find a specific printer driver for your printer you Linux system may still detect it and use it - try using the printing tools.

----

CUPS includes drivers for Dymo, Epson, HP, Intellibar, Okidata, and Zebra printers.

Photo-quality printer drivers are available for Canon, Epson, HP, and others from the Gutenprint open source project.

Without getting into too much detail, it's largely a choice made by developers of the system whether or not providing a POSIX-compliant or at least POSIX-compatible system is worth the effort.

The aim of POSIX is not to be a standard defining operating systems themselves so much as standard for a suitable environment for source compatibility between different operating systems, primarily those of a Unix-compliant or Unix-like design. I believe full POSIX compliance is a requirement of the Single Unix Specification in turn, the SUS being a standard that actually DOES define what an operating system should be (In this case, to be considered a real UNIX system. Needless to say Windows is nowhere in the neighborhood of SUS compliance.).

The idea behind POSIX is to make it much easier for Unix/Unix-like software developers to write software and have it available for those who provide selections of software for any given Unix platform. Program written for POSIX OS A can be built for POSIX OS B with little or no changes to the source code of the program, usually the only changes needed are bits closer to the metal or usage of libraries not concerned with POSIX compliance.

POSIX does not concern itself or define any standard for binary compatibility. This is not just a matter of scope but the fact that such an application of the standard would only be useful on OS-to-OS ports of a program being made on the same system architectute, which would make POSIX less useful for Unix systems, which are frequently deployed in mixed-architecture environments.

Windows has a POSIX layer available as a download, but generally it's a limited, only halfway-compliant POSIX system. Windows itself is not designed in a way that is generally POSIX-compatible, since it's software architecture is a fundamentally very different thing from Unix. For most Windows users and developers: POSIX compliance is of very little practical use, as Windows' design still requires some very POSIX-unfriendly additions to source code to build correctly on Windows. For Windows to become a POSIX system would require Windows itself to be completely remade in ways that breaks all backwards compatibility with previous versions of Windows, something most users would not like. When open source software is ported to Windows, one generally uses MinGW or tools like cmake that provide build scripts/files for POSIX and non-POSIX systems alike.

Installing Kubuntu from a Kubuntu LiveCD is a fairly straightforward process.

To install Kubuntu, first boot from the CD. Your computer's BIOS may attempt this before booting from the hard disk drive, or prompt you to boot from CD. If not, access the boot menu by pressing Delete or F12 or whichever key your computer says, systems differ.

Next, when the computer boots from the disc, you will be prompted to select a language within a time period, usually 30 seconds. The default selection is English. Then you will see the CD menu. You may boot Kubuntu by selecting "Try Kubuntu without making changes to your computer" or install immediately by selecting "Install Kubuntu". If you choose to try Kubuntu, you can select the Install icon on the desktop.

Kubuntu will then run the install wizard. Follow the instructions to install Kubuntu. You will need to select your language, keyboard layout, and choose a location (for time zone). Your exact location may not be an option on the map, select the nearest city or one in your time zone.

Before the install wizard makes any changes, it will ask you which disk to install to, and whether to use the entire disk or use a smaller partition. If you don't want to permanently delete your existing data and operating system, let the installer resize your existing partitions and make a new ext3 or ext4 Linux space. After this, the installer will make its changes and create the files. This will take about 10-30 minutes, depending on your hardware.

Once the install is complete, your computer will be restarted. Boot into Kubuntu and set up your internet connection, download any drivers needed (such as nVidia or ATI video card binary drivers), and software updates (using your package manager, either Adept or KPackagekit).

One other note, if you have a new computer and intend to have Kubuntu AND another operating system (such as Windows) installed, install the non-Linux operating system first, as it may not allow you to set up partitions on your hard drive(s).

If the hardware is physically enabled (such as via a switch or in the BIOS), most Linux distributions should be able to use the Bluetooth receiver. The program that is used to manage Bluetooth connections varies by interface and distro.

Unix work is performed by users of the unix system, for application and system programs, or anything that requires a Unix system.

Debian, Ubuntu, and Yellow Dog will run on them. Yellow Dog probably has the best support for them.

Linux has already surpassed all other operating systems for web servers. The growth rate for new servers is slowing, but it is still ahead of Windows servers.

Any mid-range desktop or laptop would be suitable for use with Linux and have enough power for web design. Dells, Acers, and ASUS laptops tend to have high compatibility with Linux (I would not get an ASUS Eee PC for web design, as it is slow and has a low resolution).

Yes.

The shell is used to allow the user to interface with the operating system and run their applications. BASH is a shell, as is GNOME (Often referred to as a "graphical shell.").

The kernel, on the other hand, is the core of the operating system. It manages the hardware, resources, and processes running on the sysem.

That depends on what you want to know. If you want to know how much disk space is being used, use the df command. If you want to see what files systems are mounted, use the mountcommand. If you want to see SMART information about a particular drive, use smartctl.

No. Netware deployments preceded Novell's acquisition of SUSE. They thus have no affilitiation other than their mutual owner. Netware is used primarily to support Windows networks.

First make partitions for the operating systems - first windows 8 then fedora partitions of / swap and /home - then

First install window 8 after having made partitions for both operating systems, then install fedora to the partition previously made for installing it. Grub bootloader detects windows 8 and adds entry to the menu.
