Mutual Exclusion is the concept of restricting access to a shared resource. When multiple processes perform operations on a single resource then they might corrupt it. Its the operating systems' responsibility to make sure that this does not happen. There are many methods that can be used to implement mutual exclusion such as semaphores, monitors, etc. Mutual exclusion has the following properties.
Safety: No two processes must use the shared resource at the same time. (Should not be in the critical section at the same time.)
Liveliness: There should not be deadlocks and a process comes out of the critical section after some time.
Fairness: A process wanting to use critical section must only wait some time.

Advantages of network operating systems?
When you network operating systems you will have the benefit of both operating systems. You have to ensure both systems are compatible before networking them.
What are the disadvantages of operating systems?
what are the disadvantages of operating systems effects of information technology
What are operating systems designed to do?
Operating systems are designed to manage computer hardware and software resources
How can you explain process hierarchy in connection with operating systems?
what are hierachies are used for process in operating systems
Do operating systems are used in calculators?
Operating systems are used in caculators. Operating systems act as a layer between applications and the hardware allowing for smooth operations between the two.

Do Supercomputers use single-user multitask operating systems?
Single-user multitask operating systems are also known as network operating systems
What are two operating systems?
Two operating systems are; Windows, and Linux.
What is distributed mutual exclusion?
distributed Mutual exclusion, in computer science, refers to the problem of ensuring that no two processes or threads (henceforth referred to only as processes) can be in their critical section at the same time. Here, a critical section refers to a period of time when the process accesses a shared resource, such as shared memory. The problem of mutual exclusion was first identified and solved by Edsger W. Dijkstra in his seminal 1965 paper titled: Solution of a problem in concurrent programming control..hope it helps:)
