systems allow multiple remote users to run jobs on the computer at once‚ such as querying a big database. These functions are closely related; mainframe operating systems often perform all of them. An example mainframe operating system is OS/390‚ a descendant of OS/360. However‚ mainframe operating systems are gradually being replaced by UNIX variants such as Linux. Server Operating Systems One level down are the server operating systems. They run on servers‚ which are either very large personal
