What is GNU ?
The GNU Project, pronounced “guh-noo”, was launched in 1984 to develop a complete UNIX style operating system which is comprised of free software: the GNU system. Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the Linux kernel, are now widely used.
The GNU project is closely linked to the philosophy of free software, which is central to the projects that derive from it, such as Ubuntu.

What is LINUX
The Linux kernel, pronounced 'linnuks' is the heart of the Ubuntu and many more other operating system. A kernel is an important part of any operating system, providing the communication bridge between hardware and software.
Linux was brought to life in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. At the time, it would run only on i386 systems, and was essentially an independently created clone of the UNIX kernel, intended to take advantage of the then-new i386 architecture.
The Linux kernel has gained an ideological importance as well as a technical one. There is an entire community of people who believe in the ideals of free software and spend their time helping to make open source technology as good as it can be.
People in this community gave rise to initiatives such as Ubuntu, standards committees that shape the development of the Internet, organizations like the Mozilla Foundation, responsible for creating Mozilla Firefox, and countless other software projects from which you've certainly benefited in the past.
The spirit of open source, commonly attributed to Linux, is influencing software developers and users everywhere to drive communities with common goals.

LINUX : Ubuntu installation guide
these are the steps to be followed to install LINUX - UBUNTU , which is an open source .
1. Install winxp on the primary partition, i.e. first partition [ C ]. NTFS format is recommended.
2. Make a FAT32 partition of about 10 GB [ advisable ].
3. Make other partitions but ensure that you leave unpartitioned space of about 10 GB for Ubuntu.
4. Insert Ubuntu cd or dvd, change boot priority to cd-rom from bios settings, reboot. Installation is very simple and self explanatory you will have 10 GB remaining on HD, select the unpartitioned space for installing ubuntu. install Ubuntu 'after' installing windowsxp.
5. Grub will be auto configured after installation and at the boot you will be prompted to start windows or Ubuntu.
Note: You will need a 10 GB (or more) partition because Linux and Windows both can easily read and write on FAT 32. NTFS is supported to an extent in Linux but the stability is no where near that of FAT32. You can also move the multimedia files, mp3 and video clips [or any files you want to share] to FAT 32 partition and can access these files from both Ubuntu and windows. Plus if you are new to Linux you might need to reinstall ubuntu after messing up, Fat32 can be used as a backup partition since it won't be modified by reinstalling ubuntu.So it is advisible to have FAT32 for installing Ubuntu but NFTS is better for XP alone .

Forgot root password in LINUX ?
Resolution:
You can change your root password from single user mode or rescue mode. Getting into single use mode depends on your bootloader:
GRUB
Booting into single user mode using GRUB is accomplished by editing the kernel line of the boot configuration. This assumes that either the GRUB boot menu is not password protected or that you have access to the password if it is.
If the GRUB boot menu is password protected and you do not have access to the password, then you will need to use a rescue disk to boot the system. Follow the instructions given by the rescue disk boot process to recover your installation and then chroot to your system image (usually accomplished by issuing the command chroot /mnt/sysimage). From this point you should be able to use the passwd to change the root password of the system.
At the boot prompt, select the kernel that you wish to boot with and press 'e' (for edit). You will now be taken to a screen where you can edit the boot parameters. Move the cursor to the kernel line and press 'e' again. Now append an 'S' to the end of the line, press Return, and then 'b' (for boot). The system will now start in single user mode and you can change the root password using the passwd command.
LILO
When the system comes to the LILO: prompt, type linux single . When you get the # prompt you will need to type passwd root. This will update the password to a newer one. At this point you can type exit and your system should return to the boot sequence. Alternatively, you can reboot your system with the shutdown -r now or reboot commands. The system should boot up normally. You can now use your new root password to gain root access.
If LILO is configured to not wait at the boot menu (timeout value in /etc/lilo.conf set to 0) you can still halt the boot process by pressing any key in the split second before LILO boots the kernel.
