Q. I need to create multiple users, allow them to login with a certain passwork say "fire" and then make them members of a group? How would I do that.
A. need more info. what is the distro your using? it matters. if your using a modern full featured distro like ubuntu then you can do it through System -> Admin -> Users and Groups. If you are using a non full featured linux distro like crunchbang then you need to do it through the terminal. terminal would be "sudo adduser" without the "". you will have to add arguments to that command. for full help with that type "adduser --help" it will tell you everything you need to know. the terminal option will be available on all linux distros.
Is there a way to download the mediawiki software and run it on locally for testing purposes?
Q. I'd like to start a wiki, and I've heard that the software is free, but I don't have anywhere to host it now. Is there a way I could set it up just to run locally and not available to the outside internet? (and add pages, edit pages, create user accounts, pretty much fully use it in every way, except locally). Thanks!
A. No problem. I have it running at home on a Linux box with Apache.
You'll need to start by installing a web server. Apache is free, and if you have Windows you can try IIS. There are plenty of tutorials on installing Mediawiki on both.

I need a good practical source from which I can learn how to use red hat Linux any suggestions ?
Q. I do not need a cluttered source, I already tried official guides but those are too long and boring (Same thing with a " a practical guide to fedora and RHEL). I am just looking for a short hand book that teaches the basics of red hat enterprise Linux (create file, search files, move files, list processes, file permissions ....). Please help
A. At this level you can probably work with any book that covers Unix/Linux basics. Red Hat specifics are probably not so relevant initially. (Certainly you should be able to mix and match Fedora, CentOS, and RedHat.)
I've used books from the "Dummy's Guide" series before, and although I've not looked at the Linux one specifically it might be worth seeing if you can borrow it from your local library.
There's an interesting looking YouTube series, too.
Finally, depending on where and in which country you live, there may be a Linux Users Group nearby. Some of them are a bit geeky (possibly too geeky) but you should find people there who are happy to spend some time with you, maybe over a beer, helping you learn.
