What is the Free Software Foundation/GNU? What is Linux? Which parts of the Linux operating system did each provide? Who else has helped build and refine this operating system? GNU stands for "GNU’S Not Unix"‚ and it was designed to be a UNIX-like operating system developed

the path of "closed mindedness." A "closed minded" person believes everything is either in black or white‚ with no gray area in between. They do not allow themselves to see the possibilities of alternatives to what they presently hold as facts. To argue with a closed-minded person could be compared to arguing with a brick wall. You’re not going to get very far. Closed-minded people generally do not want their outlooks changed on subjects that they hold as truth. Some examples of closed-minded people

don’t override the changes of another user. 3. System portability A major contribution of the UNIX system was its portability‚ permitting it to move from one brand of computer to another with a minimum of code changes. At a time when different computer lines of the same vendor didn’t talk to each other -- yet alone machines of multiple vendors -- that meant a great savings in both hardware and software upgrades. It also meant that the operating system could be upgraded without having all the customer’s

HISTORY OF OPERATIMG SYSTEMS Operating systems (OS) provide a set of functions needed and used by most application programs on a computer‚ and the linkages needed to control and synchronize computer hardware. On the first computers‚ with no operating system‚ every program needed the full hardware specification to run correctly and perform standard tasks‚ and its own drivers for peripheral devices like printers and punched paper card readers. The growing complexity of hardware and application programs

Operating system virtualization is a method of altering a standard operating system so it may handle multiple users all at the same time. These individual users would not have any interaction with one another. Their information would also remain separate‚ even though they are using the same system. While this technology has several uses‚ the most common uses are in hosting situations and server consoladation. With operating system virtualazation‚ a single system is set up to operate like several

changing an operating system......... An operating system is the program that manages all the application programs in a computer system. This also includes managing the input and output devices‚ and assigning system resources. Operating systems evolved as the solution to the problems that were evident in early computer systems‚ and coincide with the changing computer systems. Three cycles are clear in the evolution of computers‚ the mainframe computers‚ minicomputers and microcomputers‚ and each

EVOLUTION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM Operating systems as they are known today trace their lineage to the first distinctions between hardware and software. The first digital computers of the 1940s had no concept of abstraction; their operators inputted machine code directly to the machines they were working on. As computers evolved in the 1950s and 1960s however‚ the distinction between hardware such as the CPU and memory (or Core as it was called then) and the software that was written on top of it

Networking in Operating Systems Week 6 Check Point Networking in an operating system can be a daunting task is the User doesn’t know what they are doing. There are many advantages to networking. Sharing of data and resources can help to make a company run smoothly and more efficiently. How this happens is the connection of a workstation to a network. While a network is a group of computers attached to a wire‚ it has become much more complicated. The wire or connection is there for

1. Introduction: An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. For any computer to function‚ it must have an operating system (OS). A powered computer with no operating system will only display coded text messages only understandable to the computer
