...Ch. 1 1. Free software is software that users have the freedom to distribute and change. A. It has a big selection of applications. B. It has a wide variety of tools. C. It is portable. D. The code can be copied, modified and redistributed. 4. The GNU is the name of the compatible software system which Richard Stallman wrote so he could he could give it away free of any charge to anyone who could use it. Linux is a code that was created by Linus Torvalds to counter act the short comings in Minix. The GNU provided the kernel and the system programs. Linux provided the free source code. Many people through the internet have helped to develop Linux as it is today. Ch. 2 1. Insert the install DVD and the computer boots from it. Press the tab key to display the command line and install the program. Fedora/RHEL creates the RAM disks. The installer copies tools or brings up a system from the CD or DVD to the RAM disks. The disks allow the specification and design and enables you to opt out before it is finished. Then it asks you how you want to configure the program. When the installer is done it writes the files to the hard disk. During the first boot it asks questions...

...Javier Lara PT430 NT1430 CH. 1 Page 20-21 Exercise 1 A) Free software is computer software that gives users the freedom to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, modify, and distribute the original software and the adapted versions. Free software is free, can be shared and also be updated by the people using it Exercise 4 A) The Free Software Foundation is a 501(c) non-profit organization founded by Richard Stallman on 4 October 1985 to support the free software movement, which promotes the universal freedom to study, distribute, create, and modify computer software, with the organization's preference for software being distributed under copyleft ("share alike") terms, such as with its own GNU General Public License. Linux a Unix-like and mostly POSIX-compliant computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution CH.2 Page 53 Exercise 1 A) When you install a Fedora/REHL, you copy operating system files from a cd or dvd to hard disk(s) on a system and setup configuration files so that Linux can run properly on hardware. CH.3 Page 86 Exercise 1 A) Live system is a complete bootable computer installation including operating system which runs in a computer's memory, rather than loading from a hard disk drive. Live systems can be used without a hard disk installed in a computer. Exercise 4 A) You would put the boot in a different folder so it doesn’t overwrite the original boot...

...10/28/2013 LINUX James Tucker Unit 4 Exercise Ch 14 p. 582, Ex 1-5 1. Which commands can you use from the command line to send a file to the default printer? Redhat / Fedora 12 Answer: lp and lpr without arguments send their standard input to the printer. 2. Which command would you give to cancel all print jobs on the system? Executed as root, either lprn - or cancel –a removes all jobs from the print queues. 3. Which commands list your outstanding print jobs? lpc status shows a list of the print queues lpq shows what is in the default print queue lpq -Psomeprinter shows what is in a specific print queue 4. What is the purpose of sharing a Linux printer using Samba? Sharing a Linux printer using Samba allows windows and OS/2 clients to send print jobs to the printer. 5. Name three printing protocols that CUPS supports. Which is the CUPS native protocol? CUPS supports IPP, LPD/LPR, HTTP, SMB, and JetDirect (socket) protocols. Ch 10 p. 403, Ex 1 1. Describe the similarities and differences between these utilities: a. scp and ftp – scp is the "Secure Copy" program and it works just like the "cp", or "Copy" program, only it works through via the Secure Shell. ftp is the "File Transfer Protocol" and has nothing to do with security. Usually operates as its own interface with its own set of user sub-commands. Both are used to transfer files from one host to another via network connection. b. ssh and telnet – Both Telnet and SSH...

...John Roberts NT1430T (Friday) Unit 1 Chapter Exercises Chapter 1 1. What is free software? List three characteristics of free software. Free software is software that users have the freedom to distribute and change. Some users may obtain copies at no charge, while others pay to obtain copies—and if the funds help support improving the software, so much the better. The important thing is that everyone who has a copy has the freedom to cooperate with others in using it. You are free to study it, redistribute it, and modify it. 1. What is the Free Software Foundation/GNU? What is Linux? Which parts of the Linux operating system did each provide? Who else has helped build and refine this operating system? “Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. Linux is a product of the Internet and is a free operating system. A portable operating system is one that can run on many different machines. More than 95 percent of the Linux operating system is written in the C programming language, and C is portable because it is written in a higher-level, machine-independent language. Also it provides GUI(Graphic User Interface), Networking Utilities and Software Development. Founders and users of the Linux system have helped to build it and refine it Chapter 2 1. Briefly, what does the process of installing an operating system such as Fedora/RHEL involve? Step 1: Make sure the BIOS is set to boot from a CD/DVD, insert DVD and reset the computer. Once the...

...Nt1430 Unit 4 Chptr 14 1. Which commands can you use from the command line to send a file to the default printer? lp or lpr 2. Which command would you give to cancel all print jobs on the system? Either sudo lprm – or sudo cancel –a will remove all jobs from the print queues 3. Which commands list your outstanding print jobs? lpq or lpstat 4. What is the purpose of sharing a Linux printer using Samba? Sharing a Linux printer using Samba allows Windows and OS/2 clients to send print jobs to the printer. 5. Name three printing protocols that CUPS supports. Which is the CUPS native protocol? System-config-printer lpinfo Displays available drivers lpadmin configures printers The cups native protocol is IPP Chptr 10 1. Describe the similarities and differences between these utilities: a. scp and ftp SCP stands for Secure Copy Protocol, and FTP is an acronym for the File Transfer Protocol, which was the original file transfer protocol. SCP and FTP are two applications for copying files from one computer to another. Both were originally based on their own protocols, but both now use different protocols b. ssh and telnet Both are text-based protocols: mouse movements cannot be transferred only keystrokes. Both are connection-oriented and are client-server protocols. The main difference is in security. SSH offers security mechanisms that protect the users against anyone with malicious intent while Telnet has no security measures whatsoever c. rsh and ssh They...

...Unit 5 Ch 18 end of chapter questions/exercises #1 -4 , #6. 1. What is the difference between scp and sftp utilities? The SCP (secure copy) utility copies an ordinary or directory file from one system to another on a network SFTP is a secure FTP Client. 2. How can you use ssh to find out who is logged inon a remote system? Assuming you have the same username on both systems, the following command may prompt you for your password on the remote system and displays the output of who: $ ssh host who 3. How would you use scp to copy your ~/.bashrc file from the system named plum to the local system? Scp user@bravo:-r your@home:blank 4. How would you use SSH to run xterm on plum and show the display on the local system? Assuming you have the same username on both systems and an X11 server running locally, the following command runs xterm on plum and presents the display on the local system: $ ssh plum xterm You need to use the –Y option if trusted X11 forwarding is not enabled. 6. When you try to connect to another system using an OpenSSH client and you see a message warning you that the remote host identification has changed, what has happened? What should you do? This message indicates that the fingerprint of the remote system is not the same as the local system remembers it. Check with the remote system’s administrator to find out if something changed. If everything seems to be in order, remove the remote system’s key from the file specified in the error...
