Do you need to wipe your hard drive before installing a different operating system?
No, you do not, but operating systems are software just like other things, and they take hard drive space, so if you are low on disk space you should clean up a bit before installing a new OS.

In Non-Primitive CPU Algo. once a process is given to the CPU it cannot be preempt,but in primitive Algo. it can be.
What operating systems does google desktop support?
The operating systems that I have found it to support are dependent on the version that you download. There are versions that date back to 2005 which is when it was first released. Most newest ones from 2009 and up support chrome.
What is an open source operating system?
Open-source means that you can get the source code of the software for free (source code is the code of the program written in a certain programing language). Operating system is the software that you use to operate your PC (like Windows or Linux)
Operating system can be any Linux or UNIX flavour, but important thing is File system. ZFS is best suite for storage, so snapshot, writable clone and replication is free. Most of the storage company used to charge too much money as snapshop/clone and replication license.
ZFS is very simple and convenient. You can use any operating system under vmware or Virtual box that support ZFS so you can manage your logical devices on top of physical devices. You don't need to purchase any hardware or software to manage your storage.
OS means operating system, which is the computer programming that 'operates' a computer. Open source refers to any application for which you can see and change the underlying code. A big advantage of an open source program is that it is a collaborative between many people. If there is a problem, many people will see the problem and work on a solution. Linux is an example of an open source operating system. Windows and Macintosh both are closed (proprietary) systems.
What is a scheduler in an operating system?
A scheduler in an operating system is responsible for managing the execution of processes and allocating CPU time to them. It determines the order in which processes run and optimizes system performance by balancing resource utilization and response time. There are different types of scheduling algorithms, such as round-robin, priority-based, and first-come-first-served, each with its own advantages and use cases. Overall, the scheduler plays a critical role in ensuring efficient and fair process management within the system.
How operating system controls a network and security?
It wouldn't be fair to say that the OS is the only contributing factor in security. For the most part the OS doesn't play much of a role in network security. Thus we have Norton and McAfee and all these other fabulous bits of bloatware designed to protect you, your computer and your network. On a sidenote I find alot of people switch off the UAC in vista, a major improvement in the MS OS's and the majority of the people turn it off!!!
Im not saying the OS plays absoluetly no role in security but most people forget about the extras... especially the users. Users play a big role on how secure your network is. For example, on one of my own networks a user (because I refused to giver her remote access) went and installed a backdoor on the network and then made an exception for the directory of her backdoor in the AV. It was on my network for about 3 months before I even realised what she was doing.
What are three possible interfaces an operating system provides to the user?
Command driven, Menu driven, and Icon driven
What is a character based operating system?
use a method of interacting with a computer via text terminal.
Draw the timing diagram for memory write operation?
There are several websites online that have diagrams to help a person draw a timing diagram for a memory write operation. The most commonly used memory write operation for RAM varies from 50ns to 500ns.
Can you develop an operating System using Java?
yes,using frames. 18. What is the strength of the operating system? The strength of the operating system lies in its capability for handling different software, hardware Configuration used for that OS. For example a new version of windows with low ram and CPU speed etc.. The operating systems registry keys and dynamic linked list (DLL). More over, kernel 32 is the heart of windows and shell scripting is the open source for Linux etc.. And the capability of self avoiding virus act from outsources. The strength of the operating system decreases if the above points are disturbed. This is provided by krishna(B.L.S.K.P/svits) Note that if you try to write an operating system in Java, you will need hardware which supports Java natively. Java does not compile down into machine-readable bytecode like most of the languages used to program operating systems. Java needs to be run on the JVM, and so the hardware must either contain a custom JVM implementation, or must contain some intermediate layer between the hardware and the OS for the JVM to live in.
GNU/Linux(same thing)
There's:
Red hat, Ubuntu, LFS(Linux from scratch) and many others
Difference between operations research and operation management?
Operations research deals with the application of advanced analytical methods. Operations management involves managing and directing the processes of development, production, manufacturing.
How can you explain process hierarchy in connection with operating systems?
what are hierachies are used for process in operating systems
Place where you put files and folders you want to get rid of?
When you have files and folders you want to get rid of you can put them in the recycle bin. Once you empty the recycle bin, you won't be able to retrieve them.
How does the operating system help the computer start up?
The operating system of a computer tells the computer which programs to start and in what order. This sequence insures that the computer will work properly. This sequence can be changed by using selective start up.
What are the applications of windows operating system?
Gaming
Everything else is also doable on other systems like Linux Mint, like:
-Browsing web
-Programming
-Doing office work
Managing director of Apple Mac?
Steve Jobs is in charge of it all. The management layer of Apple is very simplistic: everyone who works at Apple come up with the ideas, work on all the logistics, then Steve Jobs makes the decisions.
What software if any comes with the computer system?
Will be listed as 'programs,' viewable in 'add/remove programs.'
What are the features of the system?
A computer system must have 4 components, or else it is not a computer system. Those 4 components are Input, Output, Processor and Storage. Those 4 components can take various forms. But if you cannot get data into a computer, which is input, it is no use. If you cannot get data out of a computer, which is output, it is no use. If you cannot get data processed in a computer, which is what the processor does, it is no use. If a computer cannot store data, it is no use. Input can be things like the keyboard, the mouse, touch screen etc. Output can be printers, plotters, monitors, audio etc. There are many kinds of processors. There are many forms of storage, like disks.
