Linux

ls *.c

It lists the directories (folders) only in a given path, and also lists the file permissions and file sizes for those folders.

For the most part, every Unix-based and Unix-like (and by extension, Linux) distribution will have a root account (equivalent to a system administrator account in Windows). The remaining accounts will be allocated for the users and for certain applications.

I suppose the easiest way to do that would be to use ls and pipe it to word count

ls | wc -l

the -l switch is for number of Lines

for all files, including hidden files (ie .xfce4) use

ls -a | wc -l

hope i could help

The main common support for whichever Linux Distribution is being used, is the internet: websites, blogs, forums, screencasts on youtube, user groups, ebooks and printed books, and so on.

Neither one is strictly CUI (Character User Interface). Both can use a variety of user interfaces, notably that of an X server.

"No. There is no Linux-native version, and it does not function under Wine."

Tally 7.2 does have a Linux version with its CD. The installer and other docs are placed under a folder named Linux. I have installed it under CentOS and is working just fine.

Historically, hda was used for IDE drives and SDA was used for SCSI drives. Today, regardless of physical interface, all drives are treated as SCSI devices.

There is no utility as such. There are several different methods by which software is installed and upgraded, depending on the distro.

Sun Microsystem's Solaris operating system is Unix. Solairs comes with virtually every command that is found in other modern Unix systems. Each commercial version of Unix (whether AIX, Unicos, Solaris, HP UX or another) usually has one or more vendor specific commands included that do not appear in versions of Unix from other vendors or in open source implementations. It is doubtful that Sun Solaris has 500 commands that do not appear in some form in other versions of Unix, though as I haven't used Sun Solaris in several years, I suppose this is possible, though unlikely.

Typically, the vendor specific commands in various historic versions of Unix have numbered fewer than dozen or two and often have been no more than a handful. IBM's AIX is perhaps the exception to this with probably the most prolific proliferation of vendor specific commands of any commercial version of Unix. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that even AIX has 500 vendor specific commands and likely fewer than 100 or so. [JMH]

Linux is an Operating System Kernel which was created by Linus Torvalds and other assistants around the world.

Tux is a penguin which is the mascot of Linux.

To the best of my knowledge, yes it is perfectly legal.

Under the license it's under, it's free as in "free speech and not free beer," as the saying goes.

The code is open-source, but there's nothing stopping you from selling a CD.

If someone is willing to pay for this CD, you can sell it. Obviously they could just go make their own from an ISO online (unless it's a re-mastered), but there's nothing stopping you from selling it.

Unlike Microsoft Windows, the Linux system is extremely configurable.

The X-Windows system itself just puts the windows on the display device and takes input from devices (keyboard and mouse). It has been written to be network aware from the start so that programs running on one machine can have their display and input on another machine. (When running X-windows on a single machine it uses the loop-back network of the machine.) However, it requires a windows manager to add the buttons, window borders and to handle clicks to resize the window, etc. There are various window managers available, from the basic twm to powerful ones like Enlightenment; the different window managers offer different things.

There are also two projects which give Linux the desktop of Microsoft Windows: Gnome and KDE. These both still require a window manager. It is the configuration of the window manager that makes the Linux desktop look like it does, so that it can look like Microsoft Windows (if required).

Android is a Linux OS

Linux is free so you don't have to purchase a license to run a web server and its open source so anyone can add their own code to it, so if you knew how to write code you could add code for your server and give it more functions and linux has less viruses then other OSes and most of them can run from ram so that makes them even more secure for doing email since running from a cd a virus can't infect it and also it would be running in ram so even if there was a virus it couldnt do any harm since as soon as the computer was turned off the ram is dumped and erased in the process.

Usually four bytes.

man has no output of its own. You must specify the name of the manual page you wish to view. For instance, to view the manual for bash, you would use the command man bash.

There are many proxy servers.

While RPM was originally part of the RedHat Linux distribution, RPM viewers / extractors are now available for most platforms including Windows. A search on 'RPM Viewer' or 'RPM Windows' will come up with more than a few options, such as IZArc, 7-Zip and BitZipper.

Well, RPM is the RedHat Package Manager and RedHat is a distribution of Linux. To make use of .rpm packages under Windoze one would need to run some type of virtualization (for example, VMware). RedHat Linux can then be installed as a virtual system and the .rpm package can be installed within it. The .rpm package format is somewhat of a defacto standard and many different flavors of Linux can deal with it.
