5 difference between a network operating system and a stand alone operating system?

Many operating systems now can run on standalone computers and also on networked computers. Standalone or generic operating systems are the ones which run on standalone computers like Windows operating system running on a PC. Network operating systems are the ones which run on a server and can be accessed through client machines connected on the network. e.g. Solaris or Linux running on a server can be used as network operating systems. Even there are Windows server operating systems which can be used by clients connected on the network. ILYAS MAHIDA

What are 2 types of computer?

Computers come in a variety of shapes and forms, and can be categorized in many different ways.Personal computers are computer systems for use by an individual. Today's personal computers are desktop systems, laptop or netbook systems. More recently, powerful tablet computers may also be categorized as personal computers.Mainframe computers are more powerful computer systems, designed for use by more than one individual.Embedded computers are often hidden (embedded) in another device, and do not generally take a form commonly recognized as a computer. For example, a modern washing machine has an embedded computer.Another distinction can be made based on the computer's use.A computer may be used as a standalone computer for local operations such as word processing, as is the case with computers used without a network connection. Computers may be used as client computers, consuming services and data offered by another computer, as is the case with most networked (Internet-connected) personal computers. Other computers may be used as server computers, designed to offer services to client computers, as is the case with a web server, for example. Most computers in use today have more than one task, and take on the role of both client and server (and generally that of a standalone device).Another distinction can be made on the type of tasks a computer can handle:Some computers are designed for a specific task, as is often the case with embedded computers. Other computers are designed as general-purpose computers, as is the case with most personal computers.Another distinction can be made on grounds of mobility:mobile computers are those that can draw power from a battery, and which can be carried around with relative ease. Modern smart phones, tablet computers, netbooks and laptops (and some embedded computers) are mobile devices.Stationary computers are those that are not mobile, as is the case with mainframe computers, some models of personal computers, and many embedded computers.
