Process Management‚ File Management‚ Memory Management‚ and Security are going to be compared between Windows‚ Linux‚ UNIX‚ and Mac operating systems. Every operating system is different and is interesting to see how every piece of software has the same outcome but has different procedures in between. Process management is defined as how the OS manages multiple programs running at the same time. A thread is a feature of an OS that enables parallel processing within a single process. UNIX‚ Windows

Mac‚ Linux‚ and Windows Servers Comparison Apple offers only a few options for server hardware‚ and only one option for server software. The hardware I looked at was the Mac Mini with OS X Server. With a relatively low starting price point of $999 that includes the software‚ Apple surprisingly wins the cost category‚ at least when looking at up front costs (Mac Mini With OS X Server Overview‚ n.d.). The Mac Mini hardware includes 2TB of storage space‚ 4GB of Memory‚ and is backed by Apple’s

UNIX/Linux versus Mac versus Windows Paper Ricky Morris April 1‚ 2013 Process Management Operating systems are the link between the user and the applications and the hardware. They are responsible for deciding how the user commands will be interpreted and how the operating system itself will carry the process. There are several different types of operating and each carries out processing in their own way. Windows‚ UNIX/Linux and Mac are some of the most popular and widely used operating systems
