Because the source code for Windows XP is not publicly available, and thus only Microsoft can make the changes necessary to make it work. Microsoft has not deemed this worthwhile, for many reasons, and thus will not make a version that will run.

The Bourne Again Shell (bash) was originally written by Brian Fox. It is maintained as part of the GNU project and has several developers, now led by Chet Ramey.

wc -l filename It will return no of lines in the provided file. wc stands for word count.

You may not have the rights to the Directory. ie. Administrator rights some kind people suggested I do a format, bingo, it worked, many thanks, Ron Palmer

No. There is no version of Sony Vegas for Linux.

The Linux operating system can operate with cloud if you have amazon services. It is not necessarily based on the type of computing system you use at this moment.

Innumerable. Remember that any program on Linux can be launched from the command line, so there are as many commands as there are programs.

According to the Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification 2nd ed., most configuration files on Linux systems are delimited using the colon symbol (:) while the awk command uses spaces or tabs as delimiters for each field in a line.

SudoKing, please note that the hash symbol (#) allows the commenting of lines, not the delimiting of lines. This is not to be confused with a hashpling (such as #!/bin/bash) which is located on the first line in a shell script, and specifies the pathname to the shell that interprets the contents of the shell script.

grab a stopwatch and boot the system up while timing it until it gets to login

Linux is far more common these days than traditional Unix. But as any old system administrator will tell you, learn to learn, don't learn the system. There are numerous differences between the different Linux distros, differences between Linux and Unix, and differences between each of the Unices. Learning everything about each system is a daunting task, and probably near impossible. Rather than, say, learning all of the different command line switches for "ls" on each system, just know how to access a man page.

Login as root in terminal then enter: #sudo Zach

You can set up file sharing between windows 7 and Linux mint 16 by simply installing the Ext2 Installable File System on windows which allow windows to read and write into the Linux file system.

This depends on what you mean by type.

In terms of permissions, you have regular users, who are restricted to access only resources they are granted permissions to. And then you have root, the superuser, who can do almost anything on the system.

Then in terms of "usage." There's actual users, people who use Linux, have their own home directory, use applications, you name it. And then there's "system users" who aen't logged in as normal users but are simply dedicated users in the system who run certain things on their own permission level. This keeps root from having to run all the daemons on the system, which is a major security risk.

It depends. Generally GUI-based systems will eat more RAM than usual, but there are lightweight desktop environments that can push it down a bit. I'd say the bare minimum would probably be 1GB nowadays.

ls -al list hidden file also.Hidden files starting with "."

Yahoo does not have a problem with recommending suggesting, or even mentioning Linux. What they have a problem with is people posting "answers" that are not actually helpful to the asker. Answers like "Use Linux" for a problem someone has with getting a program to work on Windows is not considered an actual answer. Just like someone posting "Get a Mac' when someone is looking for a driver for a piece of hardware is asinine.

Besides, telling someone to use Linux doesn't give them a freedom of choice, which is what Linux is all about.

Let's assume the kernel version is 2.1.xy.z. The .1 is the minor version number and if it is even, the kernel is stable. If it is odd, which in this case "1" is odd, it is a development or not stable release.

This usually refers to mounting a file system over a network using NFS. A soft mount will return an error if the source / target system goes offline. A hard mount will wait until the system comes back online, and then begin transferring / copying again.

emerge is a Gentoo-specific command that downloads the source code to a program and compiles it.

Sure, Linux is ported to a number of different RISC architectures, including ARM and PPC.

File extensions can be changed just by renaming the file. For instance, mv filename.txt filename.doc

If one is using a Linux operating system a chroot is an operation that will change the root directory for the current running process and and its branches or "children". One can find more information regarding the usage of chroot on the Wikipedia website.
