希望能借助新版的开通,把一些linux下的术语的翻译搞定(俺英语太烂,正卡着呢)!
  1. 术语表
  2. account

  3. See access permissions.
  4. ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line)

  5. Transmission procedure that transmits data about one hundred times faster than ISDN in the telephone
  6. network.
  7. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)

  8. A high-speed slot for graphics cards based on PCI, but offering a larger bandwidth. Furthermore, AGP
  9. graphics cards can revert directly (without routing around the processor) to the Random Access
  10. Memory and main memory, in contrast to PCI models, to swap graphics data there.
  11. main memory

  12. Physical memory of limited capacity that can be accessed rather quickly. This is often referred to
  13. as RAM, Random Access Memory.
  14. ATAPI (Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface)

  15. ATAPI is a type of CD-ROM drive that is connected to an (E)IDE controller. Apart from ATAPI drives,
  16. there are SCSI CD-ROM drives, handled by a SCSI controller, and proprietary CD-ROM drives that use
  17. their own controller or are connected to a sound card.
  18. backup

  19. A backup is a duplicate of data used to restore data that has been damaged or lost. Backups should
  20. be done regularly, especially the important files.
  21. bandwidth

  22. Maximum load capacity of a data channel.
  23. user account

  24. See access permissions.
  25. user directory

  26. See home directory.
  27. operating system

  28. Program that permanently runs in the background on a computer and enables basic system operations.
  29. BIOS

  30. Small component responsible for the initialization of important hardware processes. This essential
  31. procedure is complete when the boot menu appears on the screen.

  32. booting

  33. The sequence of computer operations from power-up until the system is ready for use.
  34. browser

  35. Program that searches and displays contents. Today it is mostly used for programs that graphically
  36. display contents of World Wide Web pages.
  37. cache

  38. In relation to the main memory, it is rather small, but still a fast memory buffer. For example,
  39. open files are saved to the cache to spare the hard disk next time the file is loaded.
  40. client

  41. Workstation in a computer network operated by a server.
  42. CPU (Central Processing Unit)

  43. Processor.
  44. cursor

  45. The cursor is normally a block character that marks the place for input on a computer screen. This
  46. term also often refers to the symbol representing the location of the mouse in graphical interfaces.
  47. daemon

  48. A daemon Disk and execution monitor is a program that monitors in the background and comes into
  49. action when required. Such daemons answer FTP or HTTP requests, for example, or control activity in
  50. the PCMCIA slots.
  51. file system

  87. GNU (GNU is Not Unix)

  88. GNU is a project of the Free Software Foundation (FSF)?. Closely linked to the GNU Project is the
  89. name of Richard Stallman (RMS). The aim of the GNU Project is to create a free Unix-compatible
  90. operating system — free not so much in the sense of free of cost, but in the sense of freedom:
  91. having the right to obtain, modify, and change the software. To guarantee the freedom of the source
  92. code (the actual program code), every change of the original code must be free as well, so
  93. modifications of or additions to the original software cannot compromise this freedom in any way.
  94. The now classic GNU Manifesto ([url]http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html[/url]) explains many aspects of this
  95. thinking. In legal terms, GNU software is protected by the GNU General Public License, or GPL
  96. ([url]http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html[/url]), and by the GNU Lesser General Public License, or LGPL
  97. ([url]http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lgpl.html[/url]).

  98. In connection with the GNU Project, all Unix tools and utilities are being redeveloped and, in part,
  99. provided with more or enhanced functionalities. Even complex software systems, such as Emacs or
  100. glibc, are integral components of the Project.

  101. The Linux kernel, subject to the GPL, profits from this Project (especially from the tools), but
  102. should not be seen as the same thing.
  103. GPL (GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE)

  104. See GNU.
  105. home directory

  106. Your own private directory in the Linux file system. This belongs to a specific user (usually in
  107. /home/<username>). Except the superuser root, only the user has full access rights in his home
  108. directory.
  109. host name

  110. Name of a machine in Linux, usually the name by which it can be reached on the network.
  111. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

  112. The most important language used in the World Wide Web for designing the contents. The layout
  113. commands made available by HTML define how a document looks and how it is displayed in a browser.
  114. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

  115. A protocol used between the browsers and Internet servers to transmit HTML pages over the World Wide
  116. Web.
  117. IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)

  118. A widely-used hard disk standard in low-grade and middle-grade PCs.

  120. A request to the operating system carried out by a hardware component or a program to assign it
  121. processor capacity.
  122. Internet

  123. World-wide computer network based on TCP/IP, which is used by a very large population.
  124. IP address

  125. A numerical 32-bit Internet address, appearing in four decimal series separated by periods (for
  126. example, 192.168.10.1), which is uniquely assigned to a machine connected to TCP/IP networks.
  127. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)

  128. A popular digital standard for high-speed data transferral over the telephone network.
  129. wild card

  130. A wild card stands for one (symbol: ?) or more arbitrary characters (symbol: *).
  131. KDE (K Desktop Environment)

  132. A popular desktop environment for Linux. KDE with its corresponding window manager is the default
  133. graphical interface in SuSE Linux.
  134. kernel

  135. The kernel is the central core of the Linux operating system. It manages memory, contains the
  136. drivers that enable communication with the hardware, and handles processes and tasks. Applications
  137. run on top of the kernel.
  138. console

  139. Formerly synonymous with terminal. In Linux, there are severalvirtual consoles that allows the
  140. screen to be used for several independent, parallel work sessions.
  141. LAN (local area network)

  142. A LAN is a local network and is usually rather small.

  148. but by other operating systems as well.
  149. link

  150. A link is a pointer to a file, just as widely used in the Internet as in the Linux file system. In
  151. Linux, there is a distinction made between hard and symbolic links. While hard links refer to the
  152. exact position in the file system, the symbolic link only points to the respective name.
  153. Linux

  154. High performance UNIX-like operating system core distributed freely under the GPL (GNU). The name is
  155. an acronym (Linus's uniX) and refers to its creator, Linus Torvalds. Although the name, in a strict

  200. Most commonly used cache implemented by Internet providers that stores frequently requested contents
  201. in a database to allow other machines requesting those pages to load them directly from it. This
  202. process not only reduces the time it takes to download this information, but also conserves the
  203. available bandwidth.
  204. process
