Linux

Hosting Guide offers many reviews of various Linux Web Hosting services. Reviews can also be found directly on the Linux website. Many user reviews are listed with ratings as well.

Assuming you have a properly configured .xinitrc file, the command is startx.

However, if you want a full login screen and everything you'll need to look into how your distribution launches daemons and install a display manager.

All you need is the PWD(Print Working Directory) command, this will list your current directory absolute path All you need is the PWD(Print Working Directory) command, this will list your current directory absolute path

You can try installing wine on your distro install, download the windows version of the Java (JRE-JDK....), install it an try yto run via wine.

I'm getting it to work here, but the screen is crappy.

It is preemptive, as of the 2.6 series. 2.4 and prior were non-preemptive.

I find that my four computers using Linux (Ubuntu, Mint) are much quicker to reboot than my wife's single Windows 7 computer.

Mulituser mode means that the computer will not always log into the root account, meaning that if someone happens to come across your computer they will not be able to affect changes to the operating system (also makes life for viruses harder).

RMDIR /S

rmdir /?

Removes (deletes) a directory.

RMDIR [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path

RD [/S] [/Q] [drive:]path

/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory

in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory

tree.

/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S

yes.

the syntax for this command is:

cp -options /path/to/fileyouwantcopied /path/to/destination/

The Picasa application is a photo-editing software that allows a user to organize, edit and store their photos. Downloading the application allows you to access the picasa software to edit your photos.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. More appropriate questions would be: How do I use my computer on a daily basis? How do I use it for recreation?

Even those questions are tough to answer. First, which variation of Linux are you using? Red Hat? Debian? Ubuntu? Or perhaps you want to mix your own? Each one of the Linux variations has different desktops available to it. Once you decide on a variation (or "flavor"), then you can ask the above two questions about daily basis and recreation.

I use Ubuntu (Debian) so my answer will be about desktops in that flavor. The Unity desktop seems to be touch-screen oriented, buttons on one side. Gnome has been the standard for several years, now with 2 variations: Gnome Shell, which reflects the old Gnome desktop, and Gnome 3, also known as redesigned Gnome. XFCE is a very basic but still very good desktop, lightweight, not too many "bells and whistles," but it gets the job done. MATE (pronounced mah-TAY) is a newcomer, it's very much like the Gnome standard desktop. (I use the MATE desktop on my primary machine, XFCE on my other one.)

The KDE desktop has been around probably as long or longer than Gnome. It's very good, and easy to use and maintain.

You can download the various desktops that are available within your Linux variation and test drive them. This can get tricky; I suggest using a non-production computer that you can wipe and reinstall the OS if need be.

There is going to be no definitive answer for this.... because there is no standard repository of standard or acceptable flavors. You might want to check out DistroWatch.com for a list of a bunch of them.... but there's always going to be some random person out there working on some random permutation of Linux that's just a little bit different than everything else.

Preemptive (both Windows and Linux).

Every user of Linux is belonging to at least one group. GID (Group ID) is used to identify the group. A group can have many users. Also whenever a user is created in Linux a Group is created with the same name. You can find group information in /etc/group file. To display contents of file use command cat /etc/group

The "basic concept" of Linux is a free and open-source Unix-like kernel.

The X server does not provide a clipboard, although this functionality may be provided through some interprocess communication facilities. The method for copying text mostly the same as on Windows or Mac OS X: selecting the text and either right-clicking and selecting "Copy", or pressing "Ctrl-C." The paste it in the target document by pressing "Ctrl-V" or right-clicking and selecting "Paste."

The operating system included with this Netbook is HP Mobile Internet, which is built on Linux. So, yes, this Netbook is compatible with Linux.

No. There is no program named "Graphics" for Linux.

edit ~/.bashrc file and add the alias you want :

some more usefull aliases :

alias l='ls -la'

alias ls='ls --color=auto'

alias dir='dir --color=auto'

alias vdir='vdir --color=auto'

alias grep='grep --color=auto'

alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto'

alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'

Ubuntu is one "flavor" of Linux and one of the most popular variants for beginners.
