RE: Turn Windows into Linux and become more l33t...
* Choli wants to be l33t 8-|
* Choli renames kernel32.dll to vmlinuz
* Choli splits user.reg into dev, usr, var, etc, boot, ...
* Choli creates random .* files and *d folders
* Choli restarts... damm.. doesn't boot :P

linux does not have extensions... it allows filenames contain dots. ie: in linux the "extension" (the letters after the last dot) doesn't represent the contents of the file. you can rename an executable file into bla.txt, bla.c or bla.doc and it'll continue working; you can't do that in windows.

lately, linux GUIs are starting to associate "extensions" with actions, ie: you doble click a *.c file and the associated text editor opens that file, etc... but originally, in linux there aren't extensions. You can see this by looking at the ext2 filesystem specs. it doesn't have a separate field to store the "extension" of the filenames; as i said, the dot it just one character more into the name of the files. However, in fat(32) there is a separate field for the extension (i don't remember about ntfs, m$ may have removed it, in favour of performance). In fact, in windows, all files have implicitly a dot in their name.
