There are several commands that can be used to display running processes in Linux:

top - probably the best choice in most situations

PS - very basic. list may be too long on modern systems.

ksysguard - graphical. Found in most KDE desktops.

gnome-system-monitor - graphical. Found in most GNOME desktops.

kill pid

The kernel image is the file in /boot that has a name like "vmlinuz" in it.

find / -type f -atime -30 > December.files

This command will find all the files under root, which is '/', with file type is file. '-atime -30′ will give all the files accessed less than 30 days ago. And the output will put into a file call December.files.

No. As a general rule, there are no "portable apps" for Linux. Firstly because it is a potential security risk to allow untrusted binaries to be run on a system, thus a competent system administrator will not allow a public Linux computer to run binaries outside a trusted /bin or /usr/bin directory. Secondly, there are simply not that many public Linux computers, so the relative utility of a portable version would be gone anyway.

You can either run the uninstall program, or you can just delete the folder that it is installed in. Windows programs are placed in /home/yourusername/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files

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 'kill' command sends a signal to a given process. By default without any options it will send the TERM (terminate) signal. Other options may include the KILL signal which forcbly terminates a process without waiting. As far as USR1 and USR2 signals it depends on the kind of application that is in said process.

• VxWorks is a proprietary operating system. Linux is free and open-source.
• VxWorks is distributed by a single company. Linux id developed by thousands of companies and individuals around the world.
• VxWorks is primarily used for real-time embedded applications. Linux is multi-purpose, used from anything from servers to desktops to embedded applications.

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.

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.
