Can you open a linux file using windows?

Q. I need to open a linux file using windows.
I don't have linux installed anywhere on this system.
Is it possible to open a linux file using windows? If so, how and what?

A. Yes, you can open Linux files on Windows. Whether or not you have the necessary program/emulator installed which can read/interpret/run that file is another matter, and depends on what specific type of file you're talking about.

How can I get Simply Accounting to work on a Samba enabled Linux file server?
Q. Simply Accounting states that for multi-user mode, all machines that use the Simply (client and server) must be using the same operating system. How can I use Windows workstations that run the Simply client with a Samba enabled Linux file server that houses the Simply database?

A. You can't. You need the same platform accross the network

What is the difference between "./" and "../" regarding LINUX file structure?
Q. Can you suggest a good material(s) (an e-book for an example) to learn and understand about the Linux file and directory structure??

A. ./ is your current directory. So if your running a program from the current directory you type ./<program>
../ is the previous directory. This is to back out of the current directory.

What flavor of Linux is best for setting up a file-server?

Q. My family is scattered throughout the country.

I'd like to set up a Linux file-server that all of us around the country can tap into with SSH and share files. What flavor works best for this ? Ubuntu ? Kubuntu ? CentOS ?
Edit:

Thanks guys. Someone recommended CentOS to me...I just wasn't sure why. Seems like anything out there will run Samba just fine. You guys rule.

A. I'd use CentOS, but if all you're doing is a file share behind a firewall, they'll all run Samba fine.

what is your insight about Linux file system?
Q. what can you say about linux file system compared to windows'?

A. You should say Linux Filesystem because there isn't a official one
The most common filesystems are ext2 (older), reiserfs(old), ext3(latest)
If you are refering to the directory structure the way Linux stores files then you can compare them
In Windows the root directory is C:\
In UNIX/Linux the root directory is \
In Windows the storage component are devices and accessible to a directory structure
In UNIX to open storage device you have to mount them to a destination before opening them
In terms of fragmentation it is lower because ext3 does not write to disk immediately but throws the data into journal back up
Then calculate the most optimal allocation before writing to final destination

what is the best way to extract part of a string from a linux file?

Q. I have to get the version of a software package from a linux file.
i.e. the file has the line below,

VERSION=1.5.3.0

Whatâs the best way to retrieve the "1.5.3.0"

Thanks in advance.

A. You would use a search tool like grep. You would have a command something like this:

cat file | grep "VERSION" | grep -o "[0-9].[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]"

That makes a pipeline that finds the line then extracts the four number version from it.

Is there any way to format a hard drive with Linux file system under windows?
Q. I need to be able to format my drive with linux file system in order for it to work in the western digital NAS enclosure. Thanks.

A. Steven's right, but you'll need some extra software to put files on or even view the partition from Windows. There are a few options, the best probably being:

EXT2IFS - top link

EXT2FSD - bottom link

Q. I have windows 7 and I've added a linux virtual box. Is there a way I can get to my linux files without having to open the virtual box? For example, would I be able to go to a file on windows that has all my linux stuff for my v-box?
Thanks

A. you would have to make a shared folder and transfer the files into the folder. otherwise, there is no possible way to get the information back from virtual box.

What is the difference between "./" and "../" regarding LINUX file structure?

Q. Can you suggest a good material(s) (an e-book for an example) to learn and understand about the Linux file and directory structure??

A. ./ is your current directory. So if your running a program from the current directory you type ./<program>
../ is the previous directory. This is to back out of the current directory.

what is your insight about Linux file system?
Q. what can you say about linux file system compared to windows'?

A. You should say Linux Filesystem because there isn't a official one
The most common filesystems are ext2 (older), reiserfs(old), ext3(latest)
If you are refering to the directory structure the way Linux stores files then you can compare them
In Windows the root directory is C:\
In UNIX/Linux the root directory is \
In Windows the storage component are devices and accessible to a directory structure
In UNIX to open storage device you have to mount them to a destination before opening them
In terms of fragmentation it is lower because ext3 does not write to disk immediately but throws the data into journal back up
Then calculate the most optimal allocation before writing to final destination

Is there a way to convert NTFS partitions to some Linux Filesystem in place without copying data?
Q. I'd like to convert a NTFS partition to a Linux File system in place without copying the data.

A. I don't think you can convert it directly without backing up your files first on a separate media unless you don't need the files.

GParted can do the conversion from NTFS to a Linux File System.
