Hi to everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this and posibly help this frustrated guy. I have 25 multiple choice quetions on linux with no answer key. So I don't know what is worng or right. I am new to linux and not very good with it. I am hoping someone out here can take a look at the questions and answers and give them a shot. They might be really easy for you.

Thank you

Hi and Welcome to TSG!
I can't help with linux Q&A but I advise you to edit your email address so it doesn't get spotted by spambots.
Perhaps something like 'Joe at Wonderworld dot com' - if you see what I mean?
Found this definition:

"A Spambot is a piece of software, a program that someone has written. Which language it was written in does not matter, but most are probably written in C for speed and portability reasons. A spambot should not be confused with regular robots, also known as spiders or web-crawlers.
A spambot starts out on a web page. It scans the page for two things: hyperlinks and email addresses. It stores the email addresses to use as targets for spam, and follows each hyperlink to a new page, starting the process all over. Spambots also usually do not follow the guidelines in the robots.txt file, like civilized robots are supposed to. Most spambots are a part of a larger program, allowing them to send out the spam to email addresses as it find them. Others merely store the email addresses for later use.
Spambots vary in their intelligence and sophistication, but even the smartest can be fairly easily fooled by the tricks on this site. The simplest spambot would simply find mailto links, and follow each hyperlink as it comes up, until it reaches a dead end. The smartest ones can recognize email addresses in many forms, recognize dead links, avoid certain types of email addresses (such as *.edu and *.gov) and track many pages at once."

HomeworK? We shouldn't help with homework....

For Linux books which might hold clues look at http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20...oks-Part1.html

The most comprehensive guide is probably Rute at http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz

Rember! Google is your friend.

People with nothing to do or to occupy their minds can sometimes go mental.

This does sound like a homework assignment to me and as such, I'm closing this file. You need to study and learn the old-fashioned way.
