Linux

Microsoft and Linux have no direct relationship. Microsoft has frequently attacked the reliability and cost effectiveness of Linux in order to promote their own Windows Server products. They do not release any software for Linux directly, but have made several "deals" with various commercial Linux vendors, such as Novell, Xandros, and Linspire, to license Windows media codecs.

To stop heartbeat in Linux the command line will be

service Heartbeat stop

To start heartbeat in Linux the command line will be

service Heartbeat start

The Root folder and Root directory is the Main location for the Linux system. Only users with super user privileges can access the directory. ANY changes made successfully in the root directory will be system wide. its the quickest way to destroy the operating system!

Kickstart is such a tool you can use to automate installations.

For the most part, your distribution's package manager will have it available, assuming that it doesn't adhere to the "free [libre] software only" philosophy.

Command set and command switches.

Both are based on the UNIX operating system, so they have the core of the operating system in common.

The first several years of Linux development were mostly revolutionary than evolutionary. In the first 5-10 years of Linux, new big features were being implemented every year. Now Linux is extremely mature, and is improved upon little by little as new devices are created, and new protocols are accepted.

Below are links that describe the history of Linux!

no spyware, virus free and it won't slow down as much a windows does when you have used it for a period of time. It amazes me that young kids who just myspace, email and browse the web do not take Linux seriously. They are always complaining that windows is slowed down, this is because of spyware and other screwed up mess. I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 and it is already slow, because why? I think windows is a virus and would like to get Linux or mac or something other that stupid garbage windows. The graphics of Linux was a little flaky when it came out, however it has evolved to a serious competitor of windows for a while now with out really competing with garbage windows. To tell the truth I am not sure how someone became so rich putting out this type of trash.

GNU/Linux is a 'Unix-like' operating system because it was based on Unix, and is similar in many ways.

su = switch user

RTFM, Luke...

Yes you can, many people have built fax servers based on linux.

Hylafax is the more popular fax service. The other option is to just get an online fax service.

It depends on what printing subsystem you have installed. It could reasonably be "print", "lp", or "lpr"; the exact options it takes depend on what the default settings are and which subsystem you're using.

No. It could emit characters that corrupt your terminal.

The Linux command fileinfo will give the user a brief description of the file type information his/her screen. The type of information it provides typically includes which packaging of a program was used, the specific version that was run and its build identification, and the operating system on which it was run.

Linux is not limited in and of itself as to the size of it's hard disk. However, the file systems it uses all have different maximum capacities.

ext3 - 32 TB

ReiserFS - 16 TB

XFS - 1 PB

JFS - 16 TBs

FAT32 - 1 TB.

Since a hard drive can be divided into more than one partition, there is no real limit as to how large of one you can use.

I answer this question with love becaus (tear) I use Linux on my desktop.

Linux is not very popular because it is hard to use for most people and has poor, even non-existant marketing.

Also, Microsoft has agreements with most computer manufacturers to install Windows prior to its sale, so it would require additional knowledge and effort for consumers to pick out a Linux distribution.

In markets other than Desktop PC's, however, Linux is fairly popular. If you own a Tivo, a multimedia device, some cell-phones, and other computerized equipment, it is likely that you are running Linux on those devices. Linux is also 'popular' in server environments because it has excellent server software.

bg is used to run a command in background and fg bring the background command to foreground.

It would depend on the context. It is usually used as a wildcard, or a pattern that will match everything.

It will display the content of all routing tables, or a routing table for a particular address family.

Assuming one of them is an extended partition on an MS-DOS partition table: Eight. If the partitions are all primary partitions: Four.

Try the following:

while true

do

date

sleep 15

done

It is what is called a "recursive" acronym. This basically means the application or package, in this case, is referred to in the acronym itself. It is therefore the "BAMF Application Matching Framework." I suppose you could say it is the Bash Application Matching Framework, referring to the UNIX shell itself, but the two are mostly independent.

Features:

1) Configure easily your network settings, including Hostname, domain, DNS, search domains and network interfaces configuration

2) This tool will let you easily share your folders through Samba or NFS

3) Manage easily the users and the permissions that they have in your computer

4) Manage time, date and timezone, or synchronize automatically your clock with internet time servers

5) Specify the services and daemons that start at boot time

There is no "last file" to Linux, as 1.) there is no specification as to what files need to be present in a Linux system, other than the kernel, 2.) you would have to define whether "last" meant the last file placed on the disk, or the last file in alphabetical order, and 3.) the system may use an initial ram disk, which has additional files in a compressed form, and will create device nodes upon boot.

By far the most common use of partitioning on windows systems is to have just one big partition (drive C:) which accounts for 100% of the hard disk. All system files and user data are stored in this one single partition.

On Linux systems the hard disk is usually split up into 2 or 3 partitions, one for system files, one for applications, and a third for swap files.

When dual-booting, (installing two separate operating systems on the same system) it is common to install them onto separate partitions.

Most modern operating systems run a partition manager as part of their install routine. The installation process itself will walk you through partitioning the disks as needed. In the past it was necessary to configure all of this manually, but that is rarely the case these days.
