What is the Purpose of "last+found" Directory?

  • "last+found" it will store corrupted or damage files when the unclean Power failure occur or system shutdown occur.

  • when we create the ext3 file system.'lost+found' directory is created.
    under these directory if any of the file has been damaged or crash the files will be store under 'lost+found'.

  • After the unclean or power failure of the system when the system boot it will check the "fsck command" under the "lost+found" dir. 

Without using "useradd" command , Create a linux user??????????

Step 1:
 mkdir /home/XXX     ===>> Create Home Dir.

Step 2:
vim /etc/passwd         ===>> Put the Corresponding entry for this file.

Step 3:
vim /etc/shadow         ===>> Put the Corresponding entry for this file.

Step 4:
vim /etc/group            ===>> Put the Corresponding entry for this file.

Step 5:
 vim /etc/gshadow      ===>> Put the Corresponding entry for this file.

Step 6:

15 Advantages of using Linux over Windows !!!!!

  1. You don’t have to “activate” Linux by phone or Internet.
  2. There’s no such thing as Linux Genuine Advantage.
  3. You can install Linux on as many computers as you want.
  4. You can give it away to friends and family.
  5. You can download it and you can burn disc after disc.
  6. You don’t have to enter obscure product keys stuck onto your computer.
  7. You don’t have to store product keys for safety.
  8. Do you like to program? The C programming language was built for UNIX.
  9. Similarly, many well-known scripting languages debuted in the UNIX/Linux world.
  10. You don’t have to worry about viruses.
  11. In fact, over 80% of the top 500 supercomputers in the world run Linux. Windows just doesn’t have the capability for high performance computing.
  12. If you need an office suite you can just download Open Office and get going. There’s no extra purchase involved.
  13. Linux has immensely powerful scripting languages which give great power to systems administrators as well as allowing any user to automate routine tasks.
  14. You can make your own Linux distro if you want. Imagine “MyLinux” to give to all your friends and family for uber-geek street-cred? You can’t legally distribute your own customised version of Windows.
  15. Linux can run from a CD without even having to affect what’s already on the hard disk of the computer.

We are using Linux Daily !!!!!!!!!

 Linux Rocking.....................

 You'll often hear members of our open source team say, “Every time you use Google, you’re using Linux.” It’s absolutely true. Check a Google engineer’s workstation, and you’ll probably find it's running Linux. Do a search on Google.com, and a Linux server will return your results. Ever since Google got its start, Linux has given us the power and flexibility we need to serve millions of users around the world.
