Linux

There's a few different ways you could go about this. One way to go about this would be to run the command line utility dmidecode with root permissions. Near the bottom, it will list information about each RAM module, such as manufacturer information (in a hex code) as well as speed in megahertz. You may want to redirect its output to make it easier to read, such as by using dmidecode > dmidecode.txt

Another way would be to use Memtest86. This is not part of Linux itself, but is included with many Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. This will display RAM speed (in megahertz) as well as timings and latencies.

It's 0, but some of kernel processes run with nice from -2 to -4, sometimes even higher.

Use either the 'man' command or the 'info' command with ls to get more information on options and output.

The Linux Load Balancer helps servers stay balanced when there is a lot of activity on the servers. The Linux Load Balancer is a brand that has a site where more information can be found.

Lenux has been seen as an alternative spelling of the popular unix set of operating systems known as linux. There are many different versions available and information about these so called "distributions" can be found on the creator's website. Try Ubuntu, a great one for beginners.

You can. But the Windows installation does not put an entry into it's boot menu, so you have to manually copy a boot sector, and modify the boot menu so you can boot Linux. Linux distributions expect that you may want to dual-boot, so they detect Windows and set up an option for it automatically. For convenience's sake, it is far easier to install Windows first.

The Mac's AirPort card conforms to the standard IEEE 802.11 and should be recognised by a Linux installation. From personal experience it works fine with Ubuntu without any need for configuration.

There are several companies online that provide Linux dedicated web server hosting. Try these out, Hostgator, Constant, Inmotionhosting and Serverpronto.

All available information points to Cardinal Connecta modems being WinModems, not hardware modems. Assuming it was actually a hardware modem, it would work, since all hardware modems map to a COM port and need no special software or drivers to be operated.

Yes. The Linux kernel has supported the IPv6 protocol since 1996.

Different Linux distributions can use different GUI's some will use Gnome or KDE. Most distributions will let you choose which you want. If you have an older machine you might want to use XFCE or LXDE window managers. If you are looking for a distribution you might want to try Linux Mint it uses all of these Window Managers.

A Linux user can belong to multiple groups, and in most circumstances, it would be very difficult to utilize a Linux system without being so.

A "kernel" refers to an single, small unit--one of the many found on an ear of corn (usually yellow). To use kernel in a sentence--assuming you don't want to talk about corn: "His incomplete answer did not supply one kernal of new information about the subject." or, "Her outrageous, exaggerated account of the break-up did not have a kernal of truth in it. (Not one single little bit)

One can find instructions on how to run e2sck Linux by checking the Linux website directly. There are clear instructions on how to run all Linux programs.

The Linux kernel will automatically call "init." init will in turn launch any other processes. You can add a process in by creating a script for it in the appropriate run level.

It is a script that is parsed during a Linux install. It is usually specified when you boot into an install CD/DVD or whatever medium you are installing from, network, etc.

When you boot from an install media, you get that welcome screen, and instead of just hitting enter to start the process, you have options, e.g.

"linux ks=floppy" would be the way to use a kickstart file on a floppy.

You can create custom install CDs that have the kickstart file on them already, then

"linux ks=cdrom" would start you on your way.

The kickstart file has two main purposes:

1.) To create an unattended installation. You pop in the DVD, type as above, and go for coffee. When you return, system installed. No questions to answer.

2.) It allows you to create a template installation, so if you are installing to many machines, they will all have to same packages installed, same settings, etc.

Bonus.) Vendors may give you a kickstart file, to ensure that when you install Linux for their product, the right things are there, in the right way.

---That's about it.

Linux servers can be converted to Windows fairly easily. They support a variety of sql databases. The cost is lower than for other operating systems.The Linux operating system is very stable.
