DHCP 

is a client-server protocol that uses DHCP servers and DHCP clients.


DHCP clients obtain a DHCP lease for an IP address, a subnet mask, and various
DHCP options from DHCP servers in a four-step process: DHCPDISCOVER: The
client broadcasts a request for a DHCP server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client/server protocol that
automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other
related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway
The front-end is also referred to as the client-side and is sometimes considered
"web design". The back-end of the web industry is often called the server-side.
Often when someone says they're a "web developer" they're saying they work on
the back-end of sites.

The Master Boot Record (MBR) is the information in the first sector of any hard
disk or diskette that identifies how and where an operating system is located so that
it can be boot (loaded) into the computer's main storage or random access memory
Master Boot Record (MBR) The Master Boot Record, created when you create the first partition on the
hard disk, is probably the most important data structure on the disk. It is the first sector on every disk.
The location is always track (cylinder) 0, side (head) 0, and sector 1.

FAT stands for File Allocation Table and FAT32 is an extension


which means that data is stored in chunks of 32 bits. These is an older
type of file system that isn’t commonly used these days.
DID YOU KNOW: Fat32 isn't that widely used in today's time and it
found its replacement in the exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
file system. In fact, many operating systems and storage devices use
it more than NTFS.
NTFS stands for New Technology File System and this took over from
FAT as the primary file system being used in the Windows system.
This NTFS file system is not only secure but also supports larger file
sizes and hard drives.
Indeed, before making a choice you need to know about their
capabilities. The table below will give you a rough idea of the features
and respective support.
DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES
Few of the things here are self explanatory. So, I'll expand those
which require little description.
Fault Tolerance: NTFS maintains a log of disk changes and in case
of power failure or abrupt errors it repairs the files and folders
automatically without the user being notified anything. FAT32
maintains two different copies of the file allocation table and uses a
back up mechanism if some damage occurs.
Security: In FAT32 you will have to depend on share permissions for
security. This means that they are good in the Network but locally they
are vulnerable. On the other hand NTFS allows you to set permissions
on local files and folders as well.
Compression: FAT32 offers no file compression feature whatsoever.
While NTFS lets you compress files and folders individually so that
you do not have to slow down the system by depending on partition
compression.
Also, the FAT32 file system can't seem to handle large files and has a
file size limit of around 4GB. So if you're thinking of copying a high-
definition movie on your USB hard drive, an ideal way is to convert the
drive's file system directly to NTFS.

Conversion: Speaking of conversion, you may easily convert a
FAT32 system to NTFS. But the reverse is not true because NTFS
follows a secure protocol. So, the only option here is to backup your
data and format the disk.
Compatibility: Being developed by Microsoft, NTFS is compatible in
almost all the Windows operating systems. In fact, the compatibility
goes back till Windows XP. However, when it comes to Mac OS X, the
NTFS file system has little limitations. For one, Mac OS X can only
read NTFS drives, but can't write to them. On the other hand, MAC
OS can not only read but also write to FAT32 drives.
COOL FACT: NTFS indexes your files which unlike FAT32, makes the
search process faster.
