What operating systems can be installed on Mini-ITX motherboards?
Operating systems are not installed on motherboards. Operating systems are installed on storage media or in some kind of memory including read only memory, which can be part of motherboard. The standard operating systems that work on most Personal Computer motherboards, that include an Intel compatible CPU, includes versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, Oracle Solaris and other version of unix,
What is relocation in operating systems?
program relocatability refer to the ability to load and execute a program into an arbitrary place in memory
What three major families of operating systems are you most likely to find on desktop computers today?
security,memory management and file management
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 is the memory resident portion of the operating system?
The Kernel
The memory reserved solely for your operating systems use is called?
Kernel memory
In general do operating systems for desktops require more or less memory than operating systems for servers?

What is the difference between 32bits and 64bits operating system?
32 bit operating systems can only address 4GB of memory 64 bit operating systems can address 4 petabytes of memory(1 048 576 gigabytes).
Do operating systems for desktops require more or less memory than operating systems for servers?
The memory requirements of the operating systems themselves is almost always lower, so you can, for instance, run modern server software on systems that could not run a modern desktop easily (or at all). However, depending on the systems purpose and its load / traffic, the system may actually require far more memory than any desktop system.

How does the slab allocator manage memory allocation in operating systems?
The slab allocator in operating systems manages memory allocation by dividing memory into fixed-size blocks called slabs. Each slab is dedicated to a specific type of data structure, such as a certain size of objects. When a request for memory allocation is made, the slab allocator assigns memory from the appropriate slab, reducing fragmentation and improving efficiency. This method helps to speed up memory allocation and deallocation processes in the operating system.
What are different resources managed by O.S?
The different resources of operating system are file system,input/output devices,memory unit,processor....
What is virtul memory?
Vm-ware is the software allows us to install 2 O/S in your PC. Then we can use both operating systems by minimizing the window. It allows to use parallel Operating systems. sorry if the answer is not right.
Is a virtual memory a special chip inside the hard disk?
No.Virtual memory is a file stored on the disk and managed by the operating system software. As needed the operating system copies blocks of internal memory out to this file to free internal memory and copies blocks from this file to internal memory when a program needs it again. To assist the operating system in this task the computer has to have virtual memory management hardware and interrupts.All of the hardware that is involved directly in the operation of virtual memory is part of the computer, not the harddisk.
