What are the mandatory partitions at the time of installation in Linux?

For modern computers there is only one required partition: the root (/) partition.
For very ancient computers, the BIOS may only read the first few bytes to find the boot loader. In this case you should have at least the two partitions (/boot and /)
additional partitions may be suggested, but are certainly not a requirement.
SWAP partition (similar to a 'page file' from the Windows world. most people want this)
/home (contains user settings and data. most people want a separate partition for this)
/var (changable data that is still written to disk, like your print queue and things like that)
/usr (applications are generally installed here. You could separate it from the OS by partitioning it out)

Does dual-booting Windows and Linux make your computer run slower?
No, it would not, as you only boot with one OS at a time, not both of them simultaneously. However the data transfers between the two partitions (one for Linux and other for windows) would take slightly longer than what it would have taken with only one partition. You would have lesser space than before.(as Linux would take some space for installation)
On Linux how many kernels you can compile at the same time and how many kernels you can load in Linux?
You can have as many compiled kernels in your Linux installation as you want (disk space is your limit). However, you can only boot one kernel at a time.
Can we install rt Linux on Fedora?
RT Linux is a specific distribution of Linux, as is Fedora. You can install RT Linux over Fedora, but RT Linux isn't a program you install in a Fedora installation, but an entirely different installation altogether (and meant for different things; RT Linux is meant for specialty devices where the machine needs to manage devices and calculations in Real-time whereas Fedora is more a desktop/server distribution.)
What is the most popular freeware operating systems are called?
LINUX, probably the most popular freeware operating system, is also called "open source", meaning that not only can you have the operating system free, you can also have the source code so you can make changes if you like. Many versions of LINUX installation packages are available for varying prices. You pay only for the installation media and the efforts to put it together. SUSE LINUX is provided by Novell. Red Hat LINUX is also quite popular. The two are the most common LINUX distributions available. You can get a free copy of SUSE from the Novell web site then load it to your own CD for installation. The installation is extremely large and will require a lot of time and a high speed connection is a bonus.

How do you mount Linux partitions in Windows?
Mounting NTFS partitions in Linux is fairly simple. You will need to download and install the appropriate NTFS driver for your distribution. I would suggest (at the time of writing this) NTFS-3G (http://www.ntfs-3g.org). It has stable read/write abilities. You can do this by downloading the appropriate RPM/DEB file and running the install command, or possibly using your distribution's package manager to do this for you. Once you have the package installed, most of the work is done for you. You mount it using normal mounting commands: 1. List the partitions known to the system (`more /proc/partitions`) and determine which one is the target. 2. Create a mount point for your NTFS partition (`mkdir /mount/ntfs-drive`, for example). 3. Issue the mount command (ex. `mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mount/ntfs-drive`). Be aware that the NTFS system is an intricate part of the Windows NT subsystem - if you modify a lot of files, the wrong system file, program file, database file, etc, the filesystem metadata may change and prevent it from working in Windows NT (I've never experienced this but I would never do it on an important machine). In short, read all you want, write whenever you need, but be careful if you do anything really intricate with Windows system files.
How can you install more systems at a time?
To install more than one operating system on a computer, it is best to start with the oldest first. For example, if you are installing Windows 98 and Windows XP on a computer, install the Windows 98 first. Put the installations on separate partitions. This will prevent conflicts between the two. Once you have installed the second operating system you will find that each time you start your computer, you are given the option of which operating system to invoke. Remember that if you have a Windows XP partition with files that you want to access from the Windows 98 (or Linux) installation, choose the FAT32 file system when installing XP. Windows 98 and some versions of Linux cannot access files on an NTFS partition.

Steps Needed to Install Linux?
Ever want to install Linux but were not really sure how to get started? Because of its history with Unix and its attempts to emulate it many people wrongly view Linux as a user-unfriendly operating system. True, it’s still somewhat particular about who its friends are, but Ubuntu and Mint have made Linux approachable for a new user.So, how does a new user go about installing Linux? If a person has a CD-R or more likely, a DVD-R, all he has to do is download the first installation ISO from the software depository for his chosen operating system flavor. Slackware users should find the Gnome Slack Build to make the process easier. The next step is burning the software onto the CD. Nero and other popular DVD burning programs can do this for most users. A freeware program called ImgBurn works just as well. Burning the CD will get a computer the bootable disk that he needs to install Linux, but it does not stop the process. Fortunately, the latest releases usually use a graphical installation interface. The first installation steps require the user to detect his keyboard layout and select the default language. Esperanto is even a choice for Ubuntu users. As with a fresh Windows installation, Linux users must set up a partition, although 3 partitions are most common. The first partition is a swap spaced used for extra memory. The second partition is generally used for vital operating system files. The third partition is where user data gets stored. Debian, Ubuntu and Mint will guide the user through this step when the user decides to install Linux. The installation programs will walk you through the rest of the steps. It may ask you to install the Network. If you do not have an Ethernet cable ready, it is best to skip this step and do it later. Select “do not configure the network at this time” when prompted. When you instal Linux, most programs move into copying files during the next step. At the end, it will ask you to instal Grub. While you do not need to do so, Grub lets you easily choose between multiple operating systems, something Windows only does if you want to choose between different Microsoft operating systems.
