Already have an account? Sign in.
Linux OS, you need to install a special boot loader for it. LILO is one such boot loader. 

When the computer is started, BIOS conducts some initial tests and transfers control to the Master Boot Record. From here, LILO
loads the Linux OS and starts it.

The advantage of using LILO is that it allows fast boot of Linux OS. 

5. What are the basic components of Linux?

The basic components of Linux are:

Kernel: It is the core component of the Operating System that manages operations and hardware.
Shell: Shell is a Linux interpreter which is used to execute commands.
GUI: GUI stands for Graphical User Interface which is another way for a user to interact with the system. But unlike CLI,
GUI consists of Images, Buttons, TextBoxes for interaction.
System Utilities: These are the software functions that allows the user to manage the computer.
Application Programs: Software programs or set of functions designed to accomplish a specific task.
6. Which are the Shells used in Linux?
The most common Shells used in Linux are

bash: Bourne Again Shell is the default for most of the Linux distributions

ksh: Korn Shell is a high-level programming language shell
csh: C Shell follows C like syntax and provides spelling correction and Job Control
zsh: Z Shell provides some unique features such as filename generation, startup files, login/logout watching, closing
comments etc.
fish: Friendly  Interactive  Shell provides some special features like web-based configuration, auto-suggestions, fully
scriptable with clean scripts
7. What is Swap Space?
Swap Space is the additional spaced used by Linux that temporarily holds concurrently running programs when the RAM does
not have enough space to hold the programs. When you run a program, it resides on the RAM so that the processor can fetch
data quickly. Suppose you are running more programs than the RAM can hold, then these running programs are stored in the
Swap Space. The processor will now look for data in the RAM and the Swap Space. 

Swap Space is used as an extension of RAM by Linux.

8. What is the difference between BASH and DOS?

There are 3 main differences between BASH and DOS:

10. Explain file permission in Linux.
There are 3 kinds of permission in Linux: Already have an account? Sign in.

1. Read: Allows a user to open and read the file

2. Write: Allows a user to open and modify the file
3. Execute: Allows a user to run the file.

You can change the permission of a file or a directory using the chmodcommand. There are two modes of using the  chmod
command:

1. Symbolic mode
2. Absolute mode
Symbolic mode
The general syntax to change permission using Symbolic mode is as follows:

$ chmod <target>(+/-/=)<permission> <filename>

where <permissions> can be r: read; w: write; x: execute.

<target> can be u : user; g: group; o: other; a: all

'+' is used for adding permission

'-' is used for removing permission

'=' is used for setting the permission

For example, if you want to set the permission such that the user can read, write, and execute it and members of your group
can read and execute it, and others may only read it.

Then the command for this will be:

$ chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=r filename

Absolute mode
The general syntax to change permission using Absolute mode is as follows:

$ chmod <permission> filename

The Absolute mode follows octal representation. The leftmost digit is for the user, the middle digit is for the user group and the
rightmost digit is for all.

Below is the table that explains the meaning of the digits that can be used and their effect.

13. What is Virtual Desktop?

Virtual Desktop is a feature that allows users to use the desktop beyond the physical limits of the screen. Basically, Virtual
Desktop creates a virtual screen to expand the limitation of the normal screen. 

There are two ways Virtual Desktop can be implemented:

1. Switching Desktops
2. Oversized Desktops
Switching Desktops
In the case of Switching Desktops, you can create discrete virtual desktops to run programs. Here, each virtual desktop will
behave as an individual desktop and the programs running on each of these desktops is accessible only to the users who are
using that particular desktop. 

Oversized Desktops

The process states are as follows:

Ready: The process is created and is ready to run

Running: The process is being executed
Blocked or wait: Process is waiting for input from the user
Terminated or Completed: Process completed execution, or was terminated by the Operating System
Zombie: Process terminated, but the information still exists in the process table.

based on regular expression.

Syntax: grep [options] pattern [files]

Example:

$ grep -c "linux" interview.txt

This command will print the count of the word “linux” in the “interview.txt” file.

it is powered on. 

23. What is a Microprocessor?

A Microprocessor is a device that executes instructions. It is a single-chip device that fetches the instruction from the memory,
decodes it and executes it. A Microprocessor can carry out 3 basic functions:

1. Mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

2. Move data from one memory location to another
3. Make decisions based on conditions and jump to new different instructions based on the decision. 
24. Explain Regular Expressions and Grep
Regular Expressions are used to search for data having a particular pattern. Some of the commands used with Regular Patterns

25. What is the minimum number of disk partitions required to install Linux?
The minimum number of partitions required is 2.

One partition is used as the local file system where all the files are stored. This includes files of the OS, files of applications and
services, and files of the user. And the other partition is used as Swap Space which acts as an extended memory for RAM. 

Part B – Scenario Based Questions

Interviewers will ask scenario based questions along with theoretical questions to check how much hands-on knowledge you
have. In this part of Linux Interview Questions, we will discuss such questions. 

1. How to copy a file in Linux?

You can use the cp command to copy a file in Linux. The general syntax is:

$ cp <source> <destination>

Suppose you want to copy a file named questions.txt from the directory /new/linux to /linux/interview, then the command
will be:

$ cp questions.txt /new/linux /linux/interview

2. How to terminate a running process in Linux?

Every process has a unique process id. To terminate the process, we first need to find the process id. The ps command will list
all the running processes along with the process id. And then we use the kill command to terminate the process.

The command for listing down all the processes:

Thank you, great Q&A for the interview. I’ve found a mistake where the command to stop a service is actually to start, just a note:

To stop:

$ service start———->should be “stop”

Thanks.
