Can somebody please help me with my homework?...It is due tomorrow?

Question

It has to deal with computers. There is an operating system out there called Linux and it comes from a book called Teach Yourself Red Had Linux in 24 Hours. I actually have 2 questions pertaining to this...

1) What is the name of the movie that used Linux?

2) Define the following commands:

gzip=

zcat=

If you can find these answers for me I will appreciate it very much. If anybody uses Linux instead of Windows for their operating system, that will also be very helpful...

Answer 1

gzip (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program written by Jean-Loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the decompression part.

The compress and uncompress programs work just like gzip and gunzip, but they use an older and less efficient compression technique. If you're using Linux, you shouldn't have to bother with compress and uncompress at all. Even if you come across a file created with compress (something with a .Z suffix), you can decompress it with gunzip, because gunzip understands both formats.
