Linux and Unix: When I've downloaded files for Linux, the directories from
which I've gotten them from describe them as being in a Unix archive, or
something like that. What is the relationship between Linux and Unix?
System maintenance: Does Linux have anything like Windows for system
maintenance? Like, for example, Windows has 'Disk Defragmenter', which I
understand Linux doesn't need but does Linux need any kind of regular
Windows-like maintenance program(s) to keem itself and computer in optimum
running order?
Messy file installations or not? When installing and uninstalling (I'm
assuming that Linux has some sort of 'uninstall' for removing unwanted
software?) programs for Linux to use or not to use, how does Linux put
programs on the hard drive? Does it scatter the various program files
helter-skelter like DOS/Windows does or does it install its programs in a
more uniform manner that does not require much, if any, constant
straightening up of files?
Anti Virus programs? Is there any kind of anti-virus program(s) available
for Linux? Or is Linux not troubled as much as the MS-Windows crowd is by
the virus vandals?
