Operating Systems

First off, books have been written on this topic, so don't look for any of them. Now, are you buying for a home system, are you buying for a small office, or, and I seriously doubt that you are buying for a large company. Either way ,here we go. Considerations: 1) How many users. 1,10,100,1000? 2) Will you be setting up a network? 3) Will you be utilizing an RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) 4) If setting up a network, will it be Peer-to-Peer network or will it be a network that is controlled by a Primary Domain Controller. With just these four question asked, you should now be thinking of finding some books on this topic. All is not lost yet. For a home system - single user system your best bet would be probably be the most popular brand OS like (xp home edition) or the xp-professional if you want something that's little more powerful. In a small office environment you may want to look at 2000 professional and 2000 professional server for (rdbms) or the 2003 server. These are system that will allow a mixture of xp machines and 98 machines. You will note with interest that these are all Ms systems. Now there are other OS's you may want to look at but Such as Unix, MacIntosh, Linux etc that I don't know much about. I hope this gives you an idea as to what it is exactly you are trying to put together. First off, books have been written on this topic, so don't look for any of them.

There are several advantages and disadvantages of having a real time operating system. One disadvantage is unseen errors, an advantage is timing.

the shell and kernel

The shell relates to the user and to application and provides a command menu or icon interface, whereas the kernel is responsible for interfacing with the hardware.

kernal

Hard real-time = Pacemakers, Airplane control systems

Soft real-time = Live Video Streaming

Network Operating system or NOS is an OS that allows a system to connect to a network. Such as Novell and Artisoft's LANtastic. In the old days of DOS networking was not a function of the Client OS, you have to also load the NOS to get connected. Now that most Client OS's imbed network connectivity the term is now seldom used.

Contiguous Allocation

Linked Allocation

Indexed Allocation

No. It is an application.

robinhood sorry its--------- round robin

if your talking about a computer operating sistem the order is cpu, ram and hard drive

Netware

Basically a thread means a process which CPU is executing at particular time, if you want to run many processes (applications) in the same time, you need to have multithread OS.

DIAGRAM

No.

Software utilities monitor systems insuring that applications are not only up to date but running without conflict. The utilities also allow for repair of bad drivers and restoration to the ideal format.

You can either install them on three partitions or use virtual machines. I would recommend virtual machines. They are frequently free or inexpensive and allow you to run multiple OS's at the same time. Try google'ing vmware.

Mac OS X, Linux, and Microsoft Windows are three types of operating systems. Single-user, multi-tasking, multi-user, and real-time operating systems, or RTOS, are different types of operating systems that computers use.

who command gives the list of users who have currently logged in......

im sorry no one answer for you...

The only disadvantage to system thinking is that you have in time such a broad view of life - industry and how to apply it in the business world that it is hard to focus on a career, unless it is project driven and one sets bench marks in any given field using the systems way of thinking and solving problems.

Connect both hard-drives to the mainboard and power, boot the Windows 7 one and drag-drop your files. If your mainboard doesn't support the harddrive you can use a USB HUB or dock.

Yes. Linux, to name one. You can buy a CD for the sake of convenience if you like, but several of the major distributions will let you copy it for free from their servers.
