What is difference between linux and windows executables
Any linux fans here? Can anyone explain what is a difference between windows and linux executable files. Seems to be obvious that windows programs are with .exe and they are recognized as executable programs. How about linux? What is a difference? Thanks.

lol, the difference is that they are completely different in every way (except that they are compiled code)
the main difference is that windows works by file extension and association, eg a .exe is an executable file, and a .txt is a text file
linux works by file permissions, so if i make a file called runme.txt and then edit its permissions so that anyone can read it and anyone can write it, and anyone can execute it (chmod 777 runme.txt) then its an executable, if i change it so that noone can execute it (even if its a program) then it wont run by clicking on it =)
hope that helps a bit
