Linux

Many Linux distributions have multilingual and internationlization, with native applications achieving full translations. However, not all applications installed by the user may have complete translations, if it exists at all. Therefore I suggest if you have the means to do so, contribute or find someone who can help contribute to the language translation efforts for the programs you use in the language(s) you speak.

Sure. There are many tools that can open up (uncompress) a gz file in Windows. For example, Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com) is a nice shareware file manager for Windows that includes this ability.

Yes, although it will perform much better with more RAM.

Passwords are transferred over ssh in hashed form, not plaintext. Assuming you have a strong password, it would be very difficult to figure it out based on it's hash.

use the demsg to find the partition number

# dmesg | grep sda

.

[ 7.340000] sda3: <openbsd: sda12 sda13 sda14 sda15 >

.

mount those 12,.. using mount cmd

#mount /dev/sda12 /mnt/openbsd/12 -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd

All commands sent over Telnet are transmitted in plain text. An intruder on the network could potentially capture ethernet frames as they move across the media. The captured frames could reveal the network configuration including passwords.

SSH (Secure Shell) encrypts all data sent between the client and server.

MS is nasty and try very hard to make things incompatible, but generally linux can read and write windows drive.

ifconfig is the usual favorite for looking at the configuration of network interfaces. IT'll provide detailed information about them all, not the least of which is any assigned IP address.

Basically, it lets you know what your computer is busy with. Comparison can be made to the 'process' portion of the windows task manager, but with more functionality.

You might want to try Tom's Root Boot. It's a single diskette image that includes the basic operating system and pared down versions of some of the most essential utilities. Last time I checked it was freely distributed. Find it at http://www.toms.net/rb/

How many can you put in your computer? Linux can support massive servers with hundreds of hard drives. I believe the mainline kernel supports up to 702 hard drives, although patches are available for up to 3904 disks. You're far more likely to run into hardware limitations than you will with how Linux handles hard drives.

Deployment is the process of installing the system on computers throughout the network.

In the boot parameters of your bootloader, you specify it with the text root=/path/to/device or a unique UUID name.

I'm trying to go about on editing the vsftpd file so an account on my system, ftpadmin, should be the only regular user with access, including read and write access. But all other access should be anonymous and read-only. Any help to go about this would be greatly appreciated!

ls

will list the contents of a directory.

Probably the most common that can happen if you install Windows AFTER Linux on a Legacy BIOS system is that the bootloader WILL be overwritten, rendering Linux unbootable. Fixing this is as easy as running a Linux boot disk and doing a grub-install.

UEFI systems it's not a worry as much since bootloaders co-exist within UEFI systems, and usually UEFI will be the bootmanager itself. What might come up (Though I have not tested this yet.) is Windows will put its bootloader FIRST in the boot order in the UEFI bootloader, but it's not hard to change UEFI's boot settings, provided the implementation is sane.

Pressing Ctrl + Alt keys, and a function key f2 to f6 will open a virtual terminal for the typing of commands. Pressing Ctrl + Alt and f7 will return you to the normal screen and out of the virtual terminal. You will need to type your username and password.

This is difficult to determine. Judging solely from server hardware sales, Linux has only about 30% of the market. However, most high level sites run Linux, and it seems likely that Linux has a much higher market share than is indicated. More importantly, since the majority of Linux distributions are available freely, a large portion of Linux servers are not accounted for in many market share statistics because these stastics are approximated based on license sales. Therefore the very large number of Linux servers that are running on freely distributed licenses are not included in these calculations.

One.

It sets the WEP key that will be used by that interface.

On your Linux workstation, you open a terminal window and type at the command prompt iwconfig eth0 key 5c00951b22. What have you done?

C. Established the credentials the wireless interface will use to communicate securely with the access point.

A "quota" is a set minimum or maximum of something. In the case of Linux, it usually refers to a user's allotment of disk space. Users can be limited to a certain amount of storage space to prevent them from using all the resources of the drive.

Usually they are stored in /dev

Mozilla Firefox is a web browser and is not really related to Linux in most regards other than it is prepackaged and may be included in their repositories. However, in certain special cases they may rename it altogether to avoid copyright issues (e.g. Iceweasel in Debian).

Both Windows and Linux hosting is powerful. If you use ASP or .NET then you should use Windows hosting platform. If you do not, then you can use the more affordable and more popular Linux hosting platform.
