How do i send a file from unix to windows server using ftp or windows ?
You provided very little information.
If you can FTP then I assume both computers have an internet connection.
Simply upload to the FTP site with Unix and download with Windows.
Did you know that Internet Explorer has a built-in FTP client?
It works just like an Explorer window. Just copy and paste or drag and drop.
If you don't have a good FTP location, you can transfer large files with YouSendIt.com.
OK?
How do you check the current codepage of a unix terminal?
I know that Windows has command "chcp" to do it. Is there an equivalent command on Unix? If not, how to get this information? I am using FreeBSD.
Read the MAN pages for: setlocale, environ, and iconv.
You'll want to set interpreter to your liking programatically and only at runtime.
How do I install linux and get rid of windows xp?
I just got a computer from a friend that had a corrupted version of windows xp. I tried uninstalling it through the command prompts but it says it wont work. I tried installing linux but after the boot screen it comes up with all these error messages. Im not planning on partitioning my hard drives. Does anyone know if you have to uninstall windows to make linux work right?
This is exactly what happened to me 4 years ago!
I was so mad that I installed a Linux distro, (I think it was MEPIS), lost my windows data, (stupid me…I didn't bother to save my files to another drive/partition) and HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK!
I love Linux and have closed the windows forever!
To be safe, I recommend that you get a "live CD" of a distro like Ubuntu or MEPIS and try it out. A 'live CD' won't change anything on your hard drive, (like destroy the existing data etc.), and will allow you to see if Linux will work with your hardware. If the computer was running XP then chances are it has the RAM and processor speed to do real justice to a Linux distro. Most live Cd's include a hard drive installer.
Almost all hardware now works with Linux; the exceptions being some of the latest boards for which drivers have not yet been written. So there is a very good chance your computer will work just fine under the Linux OS.
If you don't want to spend the $1.95 for a CD, UBUNTU will send you one for free, but it takes a while as they are mailed out of Europe. Try OSDisc.com and click on the live CD tab at the top of the page. Try Puppy Linux too…you can install it on a 1Gb thumb drive just in case you hard drive is kaput!

What is the limitations of Linux compared to Windows?
Linux is the alternative to Windows.
However, it seems Linux has its limitations.
What is the limitations of Linux compared to Windows?
What is it that Windows has but Linux lacks?
Or is Linux just as good as Windows?
I suppose I can help you with your homework. Let's start by examining your assumptions:
1. Linux is not the only alternative to Windows. Apple's (Unix based) Mac OSX is a very viable alternative, as is FreeBSD. There are other OS's, but few have the capabilities of Windows, Linux, OSX, and FreeBSD.
—
2. The only real limitation of Linux compared to Windows is that most PC games are release for Windows but not Linux. DItto OSX. Worse for FreeBSD. Some software (eg Cedega) will allow you to play most PC games on Linux, but not all, and not really easily. It is harder to sync your Windows Mobile smartphone to Linux, but then it's not 100pct reliable on Windows either. In every other respect Linux is similar or superior in capability to Windows, with a minor bit of retraining.
—–
3. Windows has a massive install base and widespread vendor support. Linux is not as comprehensively understood and supported. This is why people say Linux is harder than Windows, even though you apply exactly the same learning process to Linux that you did to Windows. Many programs are available for Windows that are simply not operable in Linux due to this vendor support.
——-
4. Linux is better than Windows, because Linux is by nature more secure: the way Linux handles users and permissions naturally limits the scope of a virus or trojan. Linux is also free. Linux also does not participate in thinly disguised blackmail. Linux does not promote vendor lock. Linux presents a similar user experience across hardware platforms. Linux allows a user to leverage training to multiple roles rather than isolating user skills from admin skills.
I could go on for days.
How to invoke the Linux Terminal in LINUX when a process becomes unresponsive?
If a process becomes unresponsive in WINDOWS then we press "alt+ctrl+del" to invoke the task manager & then terminate the process.Is there any similar way to invoke the Linux Terminal so that we can end a process by the 'kill' command when it becomes unresponsive?Any help would be gladly accepted.
Whether you are in an x-windows session or working at the console command line, an equivalent in Linux would be to select a new virtual terminal using the key sequence CTRL-ALT-F-Key.
For example, from the console, CRTL-ALT-F1 will open virtual tty1, if it has not been disabled by configuration. Once in the screen for the virtual terminal is displayed you can log in with appropriate permissions to use 'ps' to determine the process that you need to kill as you would normally do as indicated in your question. To return to the console use CTRL-ALT-F7.
For completeness, if you are at the command line you could begin a program by running it in the background, so you can do other things during it's execution. If a program that is running, but which is not in the background, is stuck your first step should be to try CTRL-Z, to terminate it. If that fails try a virtual terminal.
As has been suggested, you could also access the system remotely if you have other systems on the network that could be used. Doing so, requires appropriate services, such as 'sshd', be running in advance of the problem. Similarly, you should experiment with the virtual terminal feature in advance of a problem to assure that it has not been disabled and so you can see how it works.

What Linux operating system is best for a home audio and video recording system?
Me and my friends are starting a band from scratch. We are building a computer from scratch and using a Linux Operating system to power it, but which distribution is the best for audio and video recording for a band?
Don't know about the "for a band" spec, but check out
64 Studio and
an Ubuntu clone that is for audio / video - it may be called mediabuntu or studiobuntu or something similar - do a google search on it
