Certain versions of the Linux operating system can be installed on and booted from a memory stick.
It is possible to launch one operating system from another operating system or on top of another operating system?
Depending on the base operating system, yes. In almost all cases, the operating system from which the second one is loaded lacks memory protection, allowing the second operating system to replace the first one in memory. This can be used, for instance, to boot Linux from MS-DOS or classic versions of Mac OS.
How does the operating system of a computer manage the computers resources?
One of the main things the operating system manages is the memory. The operating system contains a memory manager, dispenses memory to applications, and keeps track of what is used. It also consolidates and defragments the memory and returns relinquished memory back to the pool of available memory.The operating system uses drivers to match itself to the exact hardware that is in the system and to provide ways to use and manage the hardware.The operating system uses the storage drivers to provide APIs to manage disk I/O, and it uses file system drivers to manage the file systems needed to store files.
What will effect if an operating system cannot perform memory deallocation?
