Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) provide dynamic authorization for applications and services in a Linux system. Linux PAM is evolved from the Unix Pluggable Authentication Modules architecture.

Because they aren't organized the same way, there is no direct equivalent directory to System32 in Linux. The kernel image in Linux is typically stored in /boot, the system binaries are stored in /bin, and libraries are stored /lib and /usr/lib.

SSH is more secure than Telnet.

Linux *is* an operating system. So it's not meant to be compatible with a specific operating system.

However, it can interoperate with other systems, which means that it can provide its own implementations of another operating systems features to make sure the user is able to use Linux with the other operating systems. For example, Linux interoperates with Windows by having filesystem drivers to vFat and NTFS, so that it may mount and manipulate Windows filesystems.

It also has an open source implementation of SMB (Windows Networking.) called Samba, which can even share printers and files with Windows machines.

The daemon used is portmapor portmapper.

The Eee PC should have come with a CD to reinstall Linux. If you do not have this disc, then the only way you could install the version of Linux that was on the Eee (Xandros) would be if you had an image of the hard drive before you formatted it.

Note that there are other Linux distros customized for the Eee PC that are available free of charge if you want to try another Linux distro.

The samba software package implements the netbios protocol which is used by Microsoft Windows Lan Manager under TCP/IP to share files. Samba is open software and available free for non-windows platforms such as linux, unix and OpenVMS. Properly configuring samba makes Unix folders appear as shared folders on a Windows system.
