What kind of OS has multiple users running programs simultaneously?
It is a network or multi-user operating system.
What operating system uses a Intel core 2 quad processor?
Any operating system will use a quad core processor, but many of the older operating systems cannot use the multiple cores-- they simply weren't programmed to do so. In general, anything produced within the past couple years will utilize a quad core processor. Many applications, however, are not programmed to use four cores, though there is a growing acceptance to use multiple cores to speed the process. As for operating systems, any recent Linux distro, Mac OS X, Vista and Windows 7 will use four cores, but in general, the newer the OS, the better the utilization of all four cores.
What is single user single task operating system?
an operating system is capable of allowing multiple software processors to run at the same time
What is PKZIP?
PKZIP (also capitalized as PKZip) is a program, originally written for the DOS operating system , that gathers multiple files into a single compressed file that can be stored in less space and transmitted more quickly from one place to another.
What is the Intel virtualization technology used for?
Intel virtualization technology is used to simulate multiple computer systems on a single machine. With this technology, it is possible to run multiple operating systems on the same computer and even at the same time.
If you have multiple partitions on a hard drive will deleting a partition delete the operating system in it?
Yes, it will.
How many partitions are required for a multiple operating system in a multi-boot environment?
As many as you want :)
What happens when a hard drive is partitioned?
Partitioning splits a drive into multiple parts, called partitions. Each partition exists as its own logical unit from the point of view of the operating system. This means that you can have one physical drive which has multiple logical partitions with different operating systems on it, each of which may or may not be aware of the other partitions and operating systems.
What is needed to dual boot?
For best results: two separate hard drives, if not, two separate partitions. Two separate operating systems and a bootloader capable of loading multiple operating systems are requirements.
What Computer is capable of running more than one operating system?
Any computer with the ability to understand "partitions" can run multiple operating systems, albeit one at a time. Any computer with the ability to run virtual hardware (such as with a Hypervisor) can run more than one operating system simultaneously. The operating system must also support partitions or it will be unable to run on a hard drive with more than one partition.
What are the benefits of partition?
If a drive has multiple partitions, you can boot from any of them.
How many partitions minimum does Linux require?
It should have the same limitations as any other operating system if you solely work with physical volumes - 4 primary partitions on MBR, unlimited on GPT (though Windows will limit it to 128). Otherwise, if you use something like LVM, it would be unlimited logical partitions, across a single disk or multiple disks.
How many volumes can a hardrive have?
A hard drive can have multiple volumes. The number of volumes that can be created on a hard drive depends on the operating system and the partitioning scheme being used. Typically, a hard drive can have several partitions or volumes.
Best way to install 3 different operating systems?
You can either install them on three partitions or use virtual machines. I would recommend virtual machines. They are frequently free or inexpensive and allow you to run multiple OS's at the same time. Try google'ing vmware.
Can a computer be installed multiple operating system?
Yes!On a hard disk of a computer multiple operating system can be installed and run.... Example is Ubantu and Windows Xp on a single computerAfter the installation of multiple operating systems your computer will ask you to select a operating system of your choice....
Is window 7 multiple user operating system?
No, it can have many users.I have three for example.
What is the dentition of a computer?
Unless you are talking about the use of computers in the field of dentistry, then it is likely that the wrong word was used in the question. Computers themselves don't have a "dentition" since they don't bite. They have bytes, but they don't have teeth.It is possible that you mean a partition. That is an area on the hard drive or other media for storing data. Unless the hard drive has a GPT instead of a partition table, every hard drive has to have one to be usable by the operating system, even if there is only one partition. A hard drive can have multiple partitions and be assigned multiple drive letters.There are a number of advantages and disadvantages of having multiple partitions. One advantage would be if you stored your data on drives other than the operating system's partition, so if the OS crashes or destroys the filesystem on that partition, the data on the other partitions might not be affected. However, if you create partitions as an organization tactic, it might work against you if you get more data of a certain type and end up being forced to put it in partitions other than what you intended for it.Or maybe you meant the definition of a computer. A computer, at the least, is a device containing at least one processing unit and memory to automatically carry out a set of logical or arithmetic instructions.
