More Software Components
The more software components that comprise a system the greater chance of errors occuring.
Security
Providing easy distributed access increases the risk of a security breach occuring.
Networking
The underlying network can saturate or cause other problems.
Disadvantages of inferno operating system
is Distributed operating system a centralized OS
Several operating systems are capable of functioning in a distributed manner, including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X.
In centralised tasks are done by one system and in distributed tasks are shared by the many computers
Linux is distributed as Red Hat
A network operating system is one where multiple computers are hooked together on one network. A distributed operating system helps by cutting up the work so no one computer is overloaded.
There are basically four types of operating systems. They include Batch Operating System, Multiprogramming Operating System, Network Operating System and Distributed Operating System.
A distributed system in operating system, is simple the distribution of jobs among the different unit of a computer system. Eg:- When printing a picture the job are distributed among different unit of a computer such as a processor , RAM, and a printer..ETC
The most essential properties of a distributed operating system (DOS) are its availability, inter-process communication and synchronization. One of the earliest examples of a distributed system was the DYSEAC general-purpose computer.
1. BATCH PROCESSING operating system 2. MULTIPROGRAMMING operating system 3. TIME SHARING operating system 4. REAL TIME operating system 5. DISTRIBUTED operating system
what is the answer
On a computer network, operating systems communicate with each other. In a distributed operating system, a single OS is communicating with itself across multiple machines.
