How do you install Linux terminal on windows?
I am assuming you mean either a POSIX shell or a way to SSH into a Linux box.
A POSIX shell is as simple as installing MinGW, which will usually also provide BASH, usually for scripts.
For SSH you can just use PuTTY and connect to your Linux box (Assuming it has an SSH server running.) that way.
Does amd motherboard support Linux?
1. There is no singular "AMD motherboard."
2. Linux is not a single operating system.
3. Probably.
Which version of Linux should you install?
- ArchLinux:
Arch Linux is a lightweight and flexible Linux distribution with a simple user environment. The independently developed, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution provides the latest stable versions of most software by following a rolling-release model. The features of this distribution include pragmatic distribution, user centrality, versatility, simplicity, among others.
- Debian:
Debian is a popular stable and secure Linux based operating system. Various popular Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, PureOS, SteamOS, etc choose Debian as a base for their software. Notable features are:
Extensive hardware support
Provides smooth upgrades
Security support for releases.
Free and open-source software.
ldlinux.sys is the name of the bootloader file used in SYSLINUX and ISOLINUX (used for booting Linux off of FAT32 and ISO9660 filesystems, respectively). It is loaded into memory by the BIOS on bootup. The loader then parses the configuration file (syslinux.cfg or isolinux.cfg) to know which kernel to launch, along with parameters to be passed to it.
How the directory structure of Linux works?
Primarily, it works to organize files ina way that the user or the programs can predict with accuracy where any given file may be.
How do you use the VASP Program in Linux operating System?
you have to know the physics behind it then you can use it easily.
How do you view device files in Linux?
I'm not sure what you mean by "view." Devices exist as file nodes to facilitate block operations on them. The data on them is likely still in a binary, and thus non-readable, format. The device nodes are all located under /dev.
There are also character devices, which input in characters (maybe not human readable). If you want to view the device as it updates, use "tail -f".
Does sage payroll and accounts work in Linux?
If you are referring to Sage Line 50, it can be installed and run using Wine.

How do you do Linux from scratch offline using virtualbox?
Mount an iso of linux or a cd with an iso image onto a new virtual machine.
What file is used on a Linux system?
Linux systems have access to a wide range of filesystems, however most Linux distributions default to ext3 or ext4. In the future it is our hope that the "standard" Linux filesystem will be btrfs.
Linux supports many different file systems, including ext, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS, Reiser4, JFS, btrfs, and XFS.
How do you run a command with root previlage on Linux?
Either login as the root user or type: sudo then the command you wish to run.

(e.g. Dir myFile*.txt)
How do you shutdown FTP services in Linux?
To shut down an FTP server in Linux, you would generally use "ftpshut." The command syntax can vary slightly, so check your man pages for the correct syntax.
How do you copy and paste in Linux?
Copying and pasting in Linux works much the same as on other operating systems. Highlight text, press Ctrl-C or right-click it, go the the location you want to paste, and press Ctrl-V or right-click and select Paste. The only thing worth noting on Linux in this regard is that there is typically no "clipboard" like there is in Windows, so both the target and source applications must currently be open in order to copy and paste.
Where can you get a Mandriva 2007 DVD for free?
Mandriva Linux 2007 is proprietary software, which means you need to buy it. You can, however, download and install a free trial-version, named Mandriva Linux Free 2007. Take a look at Mandriva's official website, where you can find a lot of useful information

What companies manufacture Alfa interferon?
Alfa interferon is manufactured by Roche Products (trade name Pegasys) and Schering-Plough (Viraferon-Peg). Biogen (Avonex) and Serono (Rebif) both market an interferon-designated beta-1a
Which command is used to list the available variables and functions in the current scilab workspace?
Null
ls list directory content
-l long format, displaying Unix file types, permissions, number of hard links, owner, group, size, date, and file name
-a lists all files in the given directory, which names begins with .
-r Reverse the order of the sort.
-t sort the list of files by modification time.
This lists the most recently modified files at the end of the listing. ls -latr is a convenient way to see what has changed recently in a directory.
What folder do you look in for information to modify a device file in Linux?
Answer:
Linux and Unix store their devices in /dev. Character and Block devices are there (all devices for that matter).
That said, it should be understood that devices are treated somewhat differently under Linux/Unix than some other operating systems. On a Linux/Unix system, all devices are treated as a file, hence the /dev directory and all of the files that reside in it. You may notice that an 'ls -al' listing of /dev produces different output than it does in other directories. Instead of file sizes you'll see the device major and minor numbers. These are represented by the bold type below for the console device.
crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Sep 11 10:41 console
If you write a program to open the /dev/console and write to it, whatever is written to the device will show up on the machine's console terminal. [JMH]
Trying to compare Rockbox and Linux is like trying to compare apples and oranges (unless you are talking specifically about iPodLinux or something similar).
On the one hand, you have Rockbox. It's meant for MP3 players. It has very specific functions that it was designed to do: play music, and maybe run the occasional game.
On the other hand, you have Linux. It's a fully-functional operating system. It has many functions that are not limited to controlling an MP3 player. It can be used to serve websites, design graphics, make films, write documents, build programs...you get the idea. From personal experience rockbox is easier to install and has a lesser chance of bricking an iPod. With Linux its pretty easy to brick an iPod installing it.
Can you update your Linux distribution?
Most modern Linux distributions have a method of updating the system without requiring a clean install. The exact procedure for this varies by distro.
Debian is a free Linux distro. It focuses on stability and freedom (as in speech) of software. Debian is distinguished by it's excellent package management system. If you want a solid and stable server, Debian is an excellent choice. If you need more cuting-edge software (the stable versions of Debian are sometimes made fun of for having really old versions of programs), try a distro based on Debian, such as Ubuntu or Sidux.
