Q. I am asking this on behalf of my colleague.
My colleague is now using his Linux Desktop and is at the Linux terminal option. He is trying his very best to get to the root directory, but to no avail. All his efforts are in vain.
He is now stuck in the "username@username-desktop:~$" environment.
How can he go to the root directory?

A. First he needs to be the root user, a normal user won't have access to that location. To become root user type this at the prompt.
su - then <enter>
type root's password
now type cd / (cd space forward slash)
Now you are in the root directory.
Be careful what you do as root superuser, the computer assumes you know what you are doing once you become root.
In response to below:
Yes you can look all you want as a normal user, I'm presuming you actually want to modify a system file, not just look.
HTH - Good Luck,

Is there a Windows XP equivalent of the Linux Desktop Workspaces ?
Q. In Linux desktops, there is a notion of multiple workspaces. These workspaces reduce the cluttering of active applications. In Windows, often too many applications are shown in the start bar that it gets too confusing to identify which application is which.
For example, one may open several Word document. On the start bar, the user could only see a lot of active Word application running. Therefore, there is no quick way of getting to the right instance of Word quickly. Segregating the intances into different workspaces would help as in Linux.

A. I know the kind of thing you mean, I remember that from using UNIX at Uni. Anyway, there's no way to do that with XP 'out of the box' but there's a Powertoy written by MS themselves called "Virtual Desktop Manager" that gives you up to four virtual dekstops. I haven't tried it myself but it's free and worth a shot.
How to download Redhat Linux Enterprise Desktop free?
Q. Please tell me how to and from where to download Redhat Linux Enterprise Desktop for free. As it is an open source software, the source code has to be available. I heard they are giving the rpm packages of the source. If yes, how do I download it and how do I compile it? What's the difference if I purchase Redhat or compile it from source? Help PLzzz.
A. Unlike most Linux distros. Red Hat itself does not come free of charge
