I think linux might detect SATA as a SCSI drive. On some motherboards, Windows does not recognize SATA either and needs the floppy disk with drivers. \nI think I had luck with Fedora Core 4 and SATA drives. Also try Xandros.

An inode contains information about a file.  Each file has one, and it contains such info as the file owner, locking info, and the size of the file (in bytes).  You can see inode information using "ls -i (filename)".  More detail at wikipedia link, below.\n\nRegarding installing software, there are standards that most people follow (see FHS link in sources), but it often depends on the particular linux distribution you're using.\n\nSuggestions:\n\n/usr/sbin\n/usr/local/(name of software)\n/usr/local/bin (may be accessible even if you're not the sysadmin)\n/opt (commonly used for "extra" software on some linux distros)\n\nIf you're not the administrator, it's best to ask.

Linux is a bit complicated. It is a big open source project, meaning the entire OS is made by thousands of volunteers contributing to it. As such, anyone can take the OS, change it or add to it, or make it geared to certian enviorments. All of these modified version of Linux can be called their own "flavors".\n\nHowever, there are some well know and widely used flavors. Some of the most famous and that have been around for awhile are: Red Hat, Suse, and Mandrake. There are a lot more such as Gentoo, Yellow dog...the list is endless.\n\nIf you are new to linux, I would reccomend getting some good begginer books. Mandrake is widely considered one of the easier ones to work with, and I like Suse too. But to really use Linux as your only OS, you will need to play around quite a bit, look up lots of questions on the internet and IRC chatrooms, and explore.\n\nA lot of work and configuring in Linux is done in a Terminal, where the way you interect with the computer is by typing text commands and getting back text as output. However, today's versions of linux have gone quite far in implementing a Graphical User Interface. You can use a GUI almost all the time.\n\nIf you just want to see linux, you can get a CD with Linux on it and boot up your computer from there. Play around, and when your done, take out the CD and go back to your normal computer. www.knoppix.org is one falvor of linux made for this purpose.\n \nGood luck and have fun!

Get yourself a free copy of Linux, and use the Apache service that comes with it.  My favorite version of Linux is Red Hat.  It's the easiest to use for me.  You can download it from redhat.com.  When I wanted to set up my old server I went out and got the Red Hat reference manual from the book store.  It was about 40 bucks and had step by step instructions and all the codes i needed to type in.

If you're running *nix, then you need to suss out users and permissions. CGI scripts run as a user (by default, as whatever user the web server is running as, but you can change this in httpd.conf). To restrict access to files, you need to restrict access for that user. Find any Unix tutorial, and it'll explain this more fully.

Great first time question! By the way, you do know that this is also a trick question. (.scf) is the file extension for Windows Explorer Command file. The .scf extension is associated with SHCmdFile, which equates to a bunch of registry entries. \n\nAcronymously, S = SHELL, C = COMMAND, and finally F = FILE\n\nThese files are, in a sense, config files used by Windows XP to execute shell commands based on the contents of the file.

You're probably thinking of TCP-IP and wikipedia has an interesting article on its history, and comparisons between the two. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCPIP  \n(It's far better than me boring you with explanations of models and standards)

If you're on linux using a bash shell, you could use nmap.\n\nIf you're on windows, download a network scanner and use that.

Wow, this could potentially be a very, very long answer. However, I'll try to boil it down to its most basic element:\n\nMicrosoft is a for profit company.  It makes and sells software, such as Windows and Office, to make money.  You usually buy their software in a store or indirectly when you purchase a new computer.\n\nLinux is not a company.  Linux is the name of the operating system (comparable to Microsoft's Windows).  No one company makes Linux.  The core of the Linux operating system is called the "kernel" (Microsoft has one too) and it is developed and maintained by volunteers.  That's right, volunteers that aren't paid for their work spend time creating Linux.  The companies you may have heard in the context of Linux like RedHat and Suse make money by taking the kernel that is freely available and packaging it in a manner that makes it easy to use and install - while also offering support if you need help.  These companies are less software makers like Microsoft and more like software support and packaging companies.  However, this is a very basic example - most of the Linux companies also have their development on top of the base operating system that provides a lot of value to the distribution.\n\nLinux also has some distributions (what the different versions of Linux are called) that are maintained solely by volunteers and are not sold but given away.  Debian is a great Linux distribution that does this as are Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo etc...  So, these are not Linux companies, but Linux communties as they do not exist to make money.\n\nIn summary, Linux is a type of operating system developed by a volunteer community while Microsoft is its own company that makes and sells software including the Windows Operating system and the Office productivity suite.

"To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work on it" \n\nOk, obviously no Operating System is 100% inmune to attacks, viruses, or other malicious things. However, Linux is much more resistant. There are about 5 viruses for commercial Unix versions, and perhaps 40 for Linux. None of them became widespread \n\n Now, why is it that it's so easy to mess up with a Windows computer than a Linux one?\nMany reasons perhaps, I can mention some:\n1- "Social engineering" when you make someone to do something they shouldn't, or to reveal something they should  keep secret, which is exactly what Virus writers do, like to open attachments that carry viruses and worms.  Usually, Linux users are more cautious.\n2- "Poorly designed software" makes it easier for social engineering to take place, but such software can also subvert the efforts of a knowledgable, security-minded individual or organization. \n3- It's easy to run executables in the Windows world, but not so in Linux, because Windows runs as administrator.\n4- In a Linux computer, there are normally 2 accounts: Root and user. Root is a sort of administrator with full privileges; user, is limited (You may add more users as required, but, the same person who installed the distribution uses Root or his user account. People are taught not to use their Root account unless need to configure the system, install or upgrade for instance)\n5- Microsoft's email software is able to infect an user's computer when they do something as innocuous as read an email. Instead of just reading an email, a Linux user would have \na) to read the email, \nb) save the attachment, \nc) give the attachment executable permissions, \nd) and then run the executable. \nThe more steps, the less likely a virus infection becomes.\n6- Even as less sophisticated users begin to migrate to Linux, they may not understand exactly why they can't just execute attachments, but they will still have to go through the steps.  \n7-Due to the strong community around Linux, new users often receive education and encouragement in areas such as email security, a factor currently lacking in the Windows world.\n\n8-Due to that strong separation between normal users and the privileged root user, the Linux user would have to be running as root to really do any damage to the system. He could damage his /home directory, but that's about it.  \n9- And since Linux users are taught from the get-go to never run as root, and since Mac OS X doesn't even allow users to use the root account unless they first enable the option, it's obvious the likelihood of email-driven viruses and worms lessens on those platforms.\n10- social engineering is easier in the Windows world is because it is a monoculture. Everything is roughly "the same". It's much easier for a virus writer to exploit a deficiency in Windows and affect a great number of systems than to do the same in Linux. Diversity in computing environments helps to protect the users of those devices. Linux runs on many architectures, not just Intel, and there are many versions of Linux, many packaging systems, and many shells. But most obvious to the end user, Linux mail clients and address books are far from standard. A virus targeted to a specific vulnerability in Evolution Mail, on the other hand, might affect some people, but not everyone using Linux. "In Diversity, there is taste".\n11- Linux email programs themselves are designed to act in a more secure manner.\nMicrosoft continually links together its software. Linux email readers don't indulge in such behavior. \n11- As Linux is Open Source, it is much easier to obtain answers and solutions. Windows is closed, so you have to WAIT until Microsoft and allied companies decide there is a problem and want to resolve it. Linux users can find the solution together and share it with the rest of the communi

It depends on what kkind of service you want. In general if you have the necessary software installed on the linux server or any other server whatsoever you can serve any other OS. This intermediate s/w takes care of the necessary translations.\nFor eg you can use "Samba" for file sharing b/w linux server and windows client.\nMost of the http servers around the world use Apache ususally run on linux/unix systems. \n\nMany serveres around the world run on unix/linux. THey provide many services like DNS,DHCP etc to clients running any OS.
