Hi everyone. We're going to try something new in this forum. This particular thread is going to become a sticky thread so it remain on top, and will contain frequently asked questions with their answers on everything to do with Linux and UNIX. Each post within this thread will contain one question/answer pair. And hopefully, any and everyone may contribute.

There will be some rules. This is to be used for just question and answer pairs. That means no general comments, rants etc. All comments should be in the posters own words. If quoting from some other source, please list the source of the quote. And please, re-read what you write, before posting, to insure that others not as knowledgeable as yourself can understand what is written.

Hopefully, over time, this thread can become an important source of information for 'nix user. -mk
