is it possible to synchronize two linux machine over internet? thanks
Any solutions using any Technique
?
E.g. rsync. "Synchronize" can mean a lot of different things though, below is a prototype rsync-command:
rsync --archive --delete --update /directory/to/sync $REMOTE_HOST:/directory/on/remote/host
You will have to carefully read man rsync or other resources on the available switches and behaviours though, it is a versatile program.
Most often, I find rsync the "correct" way to do it, without reinventing the wheel.

I need a live multi rename tool.
The one you can find in double commander, or even better total commander.
The best I could find is renameutils,
which lists all the files and let me edit them in my favorite text editor,
but nothing beats something which is designed to be specifically used to rename.
Is there such a program?
Has to be live and interactive - I have to see the edits I'm doing before hitting the "OK" key.
Has to be in the command line - ncurses, slang, shell. Just not GUI.
Edit:
It's probably doesn't belong here, but super-user:)
Answers would still be welcome.
How about RenameWand? http://renamewand.sourceforge.net/
But you indeed should have tried superuser instead: https://superuser.com/questions/25378/mass-renaming-nix-version

I was browsing a directory on a Linux machine, and when doing a detailed listing I noticed that a link is pointing to itself, for example:
somelink -> /path/to/directory/somelink
I am wondering what is the reason for doing such a thing?
If the somelink is in /path/to/directory then this is an invalid symlink. If you try to access it, the filesystem will give you an error (probably something like too many levels of symbolic links*). It could have been a typo (or some other mistake) when it was created, or the symlink got moved somehow and ended up linking to itself.
There's no good reason for a circular symlink. Most probably, it was created by accident.

I'm running Debian. I want users to be unable to see my processes when they type 'ps aux'. A web search wasn't clear enough on how to do that, but it seems to be possible. How do I do that?
There are no simple ways, other than fancy things like tweaking the kernel code or the ps command code, or things like trying to use an innocent-looking name for the process. See:
https://superuser.com/questions/199044/is-it-possible-to-hide-a-process-from-the-listing-of-ps-or-top-on-linux
There are no questions of users or groups: everyone can see everyone's processes.
This cannot be done. What are your motivations for doing this?

I need a small linux Text only version bootable installed on a partition of my hardrive, How can I customize a Linux version like redhat, debian, puppy etc. Please suggest some suitable distribution?
Depends on what you call small and what the purpuse of the installation is. I'd recommend [Debian stable][1] (Lenny) or [Ubuntu-server][2] for server-purposes. A really small distro is [Damn Small Linux][3]. If you just want to play around with a small-as-possible distro, you can try the time-consuming [Linux-from-Scratch][4].
Archlinux, definitely. But it's not programming related.

like what is X windows,Cygwin,file system
Well, first you have to choose which Linux distribution you wish to use/learn, then you just use that distro's documentation, which normally has allot info.
You can find here some linux beginner lessons: http://www.linux.org/lessons/beginner/toc.html
Finally the best way to learn, besides reading is "getting your hands dirty". Install a distro of your choice and mess with it :)
I think this is a great way to start
