Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, a process is like a whole program running on your computer, doing its thing, while a thread is like a mini version of a process, sharing resources with other threads in the same process. It's like having a full meal versus just a side dish. So, in Linux, processes are like the main course, and threads are like the appetizers.
what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
A PID is a process ID. It is generally a 15 bit number, and it identifies a process or a thread.
yes
They are no way similar, so there is no point in comparison.
For the most part they are the same but Embedded Linux is tailored for embedded devices that may have particular hardware configurations and limited resources.
There is no such thing as "Windows Linux." Linux is not a version of Windows and has nothing at all to do with Windows. They are two totally completely different operating systems made by completely different people.
Linux is far more common these days than traditional Unix. But as any old system administrator will tell you, learn to learn, don't learn the system. There are numerous differences between the different Linux distros, differences between Linux and Unix, and differences between each of the Unices. Learning everything about each system is a daunting task, and probably near impossible. Rather than, say, learning all of the different command line switches for "ls" on each system, just know how to access a man page.
In reference to Linux, PID is Process Identification Number.3 digit number on the back of credit cards.In unix systems, a PID is a process ID. It is generally a 15 bit number, and it identifies a process or a thread.
Linux is generally easier to install today. I experienced considerable difficulty in my last attempted install of Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 150.
i do not know.sorry.what i do? i want it's answer.please help me from fatemeh & fatemeh
The question cannot be answered as stated, since you don't mention which Windows system and which distro of Linux
The Linux kernel doesn't consider itself a process, therefore it has no process id.
