Bigphysarea; is a driver which allocates a big piece of memory during boottime and returns the entire piece or parts of it to a requesting driver. Some hardware requires memory in physical continuous blocks. Howevery, the longer your Linux system is running, the more main memory is getting allocated and freed in different sizes. This leads to the fenomenen called 'memory fragmentation'. And the end result of this all is a machine which has enough memory left, but scattered all over the place, thereby failing our drivers with an 'out of memory'. Prime examples of these hardware are soundcards which need to be initialized and the above mentioned framegrabber.
What is the difference between Windows web hosting and Linux web hosting?
The difference is simply what operating system the web host's servers are running. Linux web hosts typically support PHP, MySQL, and related software. Windows hosts typically support ASP and related software (along with some form of an SQL server, but that varies by host).
It does not matter whether you run Windows or Linux (or another operating system) on your machine.
Why do people use Windows when Linux is free and can do anything Windows can?
That's a complicated issue. There are several reasons why many people might still use Windows when other operating systems (such as Linux) are available:
Are there Linux drivers for DELL Inspiron 1545 laptop?
Yes. All components should be fully-supported by any modern Linux distribution.
Is it possible to install coreldraw on Linux?
Some versions of CorelDRAW can be run on Linux using Wine, while others can't.
What does binary file permission 6 indicate in Linux?
File permissions in Linux are not represented in binary format, but rather octal format.
The first digit represents owner permissions, second digit is group permissions, and the final one is permissions for everyone.
Read permissions are assigned a 4, write permissions are assigned a 2, and execute permissions are assigned a 1. A 6 permission allows read and write (4+2).
How do you copy all files in a directory without copying sub directories using FTP?
All files in a directly can be copied without copying the sub directories using FTP by first highlighting them. This allows a user to specifically select only the files they want to transfer.
If you are doing this via the command line interface using the mget command with a mask (such as *) will transfer all files except subdirectories.
How can I install the OS DSL Linux?

How do you restart from a terminal in Linux?
The "reboot" command or "init 6" or (On systemd machines.) "systemctl reboot."
Please note that to restart from a terminal you must have some way of using root permissions, either you're a sudoer or you know root's password and can su into root or log in as root directly.
Normal users actually do not, in Linux, have the permissions to affect runlevels, which includes shutting down or rebooting the computer. The reason a normal user can do this from a desktop is through the use of PolicyKit or systemd's logind infrastructure.
What is the shortcut to the login directory in linux?
"cd" with no directory takes you to your home (login) directory. In a path, ~ (tilde) means your home directory, ~usr means the home directory of user usr. For example, "cp ~/foo ~john" copies file foo from your home directory to john's.
What is the Slackware Linux Project about?
Slackware Linux is an advanced Linux operating system designed for easy and simple use as well as great stabilities. The idea is to make a Unix-like Linux distribution and provides many development tools and features for those who like to web browse and those who want additional programs.
Which Linux distro has the most multimedia programs?
Almost every Linux distro can run multimedia programs, and has them available in their repository. Several distros are targeted at multimedia production and bundle such software by default. These include Ubuntu Studio, 64 Studio, dyne:bolic, and Musix.
What word processors are available for Linux?
Many of the word processors available for Linux are open-source. Their source code, including development versions, is stored in an SCM. Anybody can download the absolute latest code, even if a developer only made a change a few seconds beforehand. This makes the "latest" one impossible to track. Even if you only counted stable releases, with the variety of word processors available, any answer given here would probably only remain accurate for a week or so. You should base your choice of word processor on its feature set, not its release date. "Newer" and "latest" doesn't mean "best."
How do you enable x11 in Linux?
X11 is enabled and launched by default in most desktop distributions. If it is installed but not started automatically, you can usually start it with the startx command.
How many file systems does Linux support?
Hundreds, depending on whether you include the ones that Linux supports in user mode (via FUSE), and ones that are used only in embedded computers.
The ones that Linux supports natively (can boot off of) are:
FAT, FAT16, FAT32, ext, ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, Reiser4, NFS, ISO9660, UDF, XFS, and JFS.
Ones that Linux distributions often support using FUSE:
NTFS, AFS, QNX6, Coherent, HFS, HFS+, RAMFS, Minix, HPFS, BFS, XIAFS, and UFS.
What is the difference between ls and vdir command in Unix?
ls is the default command that lists the contents of a directory.
vdir is a common alias for the command: ls -al
That command lists the contents of a directory as well as information about the file such as owner, group, file size, permissions, last modified, etc.
Where the root directory should be located in LINUX?
In some operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows systems, there is no single root directory. Rather, there is a separate root directory for each Storage device and partition (i.e., logically independent section) of the hard disk drive HDD. A: for the floppy drive C: for 1st partition
The root directory is on UNIX OS that contains all other directories and files on the system and which is designated by a forward slash ( / ) on HDD
What is the command to get the Unix version?
cat /proc/version
The above answer will only work on certain systems. For most Unix systems, use the 'uname' command to get the Unix version.
AIX uses the oslevel command.
How do you connect a Macintosh to a Linux network?
There is no such thing as a "Linux" network. Linux uses the standard TCP/IP protocol for most modern networking purposes. This protocol is also used on Windows and Mac OS X. On any network with a working DHCP server the process is as simple as connecting to the router.
Postfix in Linux is an open source software used to setup mail servers.
Which port is associated with ttyS0?
The serial ports are named ttyS0, ttyS1, etc.
And usually correspond respectively to COM1, COM2, etc. in DOS/Windows
How a file structure is saved in linux?
Not sure what you are trying to ask here. As the question is written the answer would be something like: By writing the file content to disk in the format specified for that partition.
If you are asking which apps will save a file: virtually any app that will read or build file content from scratch, like text editors, word processors, picture or music editors/encoders. What exactly are you trying to do?
Can you run Linux or Windows on any machine?
with Linux you can run in almost any machine, but you need a minimal requirements and knowledge about the machine
a example
people cant run Linux in some cell phone has the power to run Linux but can´t because it is hard to get the information about the processor
