Unix is one of the operating systems that split into two line only to merge again later. CP/M is another one of the operating systems as well.
UNIX and CP/M
Many. The Linux Kernel itself has 13,499,457 lines of code as of 20 October 2010. Most of programs have hundreds to tens of thousands of lines, and there are a lot components. It would be safe to assume that there is something like 50 to 100 million lines in total.
According to Andrew Tannenbaum, the creator of Minix and the author of Operating Systems: Design and Implementation, the two chief tasks of an operating system. The first function is to provide an abstraction layer above the hardware that is easier to program than the bare hardware. By providing this function, the user is freed from the need to worry about interrupts, timers, memory management and other low-level functions. The second function of an operating system is to manager all the various resources of the computer (CPU time slices, RAM, printing etc.) and dole them out wisely among all the various programs competing for them. As an example, let's look at the printer. Imagine if three programs were trying to send output to a printer at the same time. Without an operating system managing the resources, the result would be chaos: a few lines from program 1, a few lines of program 2, a few line from program 3, etc.

The network managers are responsible for all the customers, including other networks that they buy and sell electricity to and from. Typically the distributed operating system mostly worries about the local electricity needs, however incompetent behavior is often penalized such as shut down without warning of the distributed system, non-sinusoidal waveform, poor power factor, poor phase matching, over loading interconnecting power lines and high or low voltage operation = the voltage needs to be matched plus or minus about one volt. Neil Or alternatively, if you meant the two kinds of computer operating systems: A network OS will share filesystems over several machines, and each computer system schedules their own processes individually. (Windows, OS X) A distributed OS will also share the scheduling of processes as a collective group for the networked machines. A program running on one system may have subprocesses running on other systems in the network, all cooperating and running as if on the same computer. (maybe GNU Hurd)

That really depends what operating system you are talking about. You may want to clarify what operating system you are interested in. The source code of many commercial operating systems, such as Windows, is not freely available, so the answer is simply "you can't". However, the source code of other operating systems, such as the different Linux distributions, is available for free, and may even be modified legally. Please note that any operating system used in "real life situations" is a huge project; finding your way around the source code may be a daunting project. According to the Wikipedia, "As of 2013, the Linux 3.10 release had 15,803,499 lines of code." At 60 lines per page, that would be a quarter of a million pages, or about a thousand volumes, if it were to be printed.
This depends on operating system. Windows uses two bytes per line, and most other operating systems use one. This means there will be 6 bytes for Windows, or 3 bytes for everything else This is because Windows uses a line ending of <CR><LF>, while other operating systems use just <LF>.
There is no real answer to that, because there is no theLinux operating system. There are several different operating systems that use the Linux kernel but incorporate a variety of different software, each varying in size and code complexity. The Linux kernel includes approximately 13.5 million lines of code, although much of this code will not be used in any given binary kernel image, as it is platform or usage-specific.
The Windows 98 operating system contains approximately 13 million lines of code.

Greyhound Lines Inc. is based in Dallas, Texas and is an intercity bus company operating in the US, Canada and Mexico. Other lines operating under the Greyhound name worldwide include Greyhound UK and Greyhound Australia.
Social systems are lines between the ecosystem, biological organisms and psychical systems as well as technical systems. They all together form the environment of social systems.
