That really depends what operating system you are talking about. You may want to clarify what operating system you are interested in. The source code of many commercial operating systems, such as Windows, is not freely available, so the answer is simply "you can't". However, the source code of other operating systems, such as the different Linux distributions, is available for free, and may even be modified legally. Please note that any operating system used in "real life situations" is a huge project; finding your way around the source code may be a daunting project. According to the Wikipedia, "As of 2013, the Linux 3.10 release had 15,803,499 lines of code." At 60 lines per page, that would be a quarter of a million pages, or about a thousand volumes, if it were to be printed.
What else can I help you with?
Do open source operating systems use binary code as a base like WindowsTM?
All operating systems have to use binary code in order to operate. The difference between open-source operating systems and Windows is that you can see the code before it is converted into a binary format.
The file is a hidden text file stored in the root directory of the active partition that Ntldr reads to see what operating systems are available and how to set up the boot?
Boot.ini
Does the size of the xls file changes in different operating systems?
The answer is rather yes than no. It depends on what size the smallest block has. For instance, FAT32 and NTFS use different cluster sizes. Thus you will see difference in size for the same file in different windows file systems. But such differences are not that big.
What is the meaning of a tarball in computer terminology?
"tar" is a file format popular in Unix operating systems. Originally designed for tape archive It is similar to a zip file or any of the many compression units. It has made a resurgence with Linux systems. See related link for more information.
How do you find the source code of a COSMOS operating system?
You can get the source code to Cosmos itself from the project's page at Codeplex, in the related links section. Cosmos is designed to allow people to develop their own operating systems. Those who do so may, or may not, opt to make their source code public. You'd need to contact them directly to see if the source is available.
Is there a problem with having two hard drives with different file systems on the same computer many thanks?
If you have two hard drives, and one is an IDEE drive using fat32 file structure, and the other is a different kind of drive and file system, your operating system may have difficulty accessing files on one or the other of your hard drives. This is not usually a problem with Windows XP, but older operating systems may not see one or the other of the drives.
What is softlink?
Wow, a question that actually makes sense.Symbolic links began to appear in operating systems as far back as the mid to late 1970s. Symbolic links are supported by all operating systems that are POSIX compliant.In the Unix/Linux world, the ln command is used to create a symbolic link. To provide a more specific answer to your question, a soft link is a symbolic link that can span file systems. A hard link by contrast, must point to another inode on the same file system. Not all operating systems support symbolic links (the FAT file system does not for instance).See the man page for ln for specific information on the use of the Linux/Unix ln command.
What is a file extension?
A file extension is a three character designation that tells software about the format of the data within the file. For example, a ".rtf" file is in rich text format which requires a word processor for it to be interpreted and a ".pdf" file is in portable document format (which requires Adobe Acrobat to interpret).A file extension is used in some operating systems to identify the type of the contents of the file. It is usually separated from the main part of the file name by a ".", but some operating system have used different characters.Most file extensions today are 3 characters long (e.g. txt, exe, jpg, mpg), but different operating systems have used file extensions as short as 2 characters to as long as 80 characters.Some operating systems do not make use of file extensions. For example Unix makes no use of them at all. VMS and the original MacOS used a file type field in the directory entry instead of file extensions.
What is an open-source operating system?
Open-source means that you can get the source code of the software for free (source code is the code of the program written in a certain programing language). Operating system is the software that you use to operate your PC (like Windows or Linux)Operating system can be any Linux or UNIX flavour, but important thing is File system. ZFS is best suite for storage, so snapshot, writable clone and replication is free. Most of the storage company used to charge too much money as snapshop/clone and replication license.ZFS is very simple and convenient. You can use any operating system under vmware or Virtual box that support ZFS so you can manage your logical devices on top of physical devices. You don't need to purchase any hardware or software to manage your storage.OS means operating system, which is the computer programming that 'operates' a computer. Open source refers to any application for which you can see and change the underlying code. A big advantage of an open source program is that it is a collaborative between many people. If there is a problem, many people will see the problem and work on a solution. Linux is an example of an open source operating system. Windows and Macintosh both are closed (proprietary) systems.

Describe the three categories of operating systems?
As computers have progressed and developed so have the operating systems. Below is a basic list of the different operating systems and a few examples of operating systems that fall into each of the categories. Many computer operating systems will fall into more than one of the below categories. GUI - Short for Graphical User Interface, a GUI Operating System contains graphics and icons and is commonly navigated by using a computer mouse. See the GUI definition for a complete definition. Below are some examples of GUI Operating Systems. System 7.x Windows 98 Windows CE Multi-user - A multi-user operating system allows for multiple users to use the same computer at the same time and different times. See the multi-user definition for a complete definition for a complete definition. Below are some examples of multi-user operating systems. Linux Unix Windows 2000 Multiprocessing - An operating system capable of supporting and utilizing more than one computer processor. Below are some examples of multiprocessing operating systems. Linux Unix Windows 2000 Multitasking - An operating system that is capable of allowing multiple software processes to run at the same time. Below are some examples of multitasking operating systems. Unix Windows 2000 Multithreading - Operating systems that allow different parts of a software program to run concurrently. Operating systems that would fall into this category are: Linux Unix Windows 2000
