Operating Systems

An interface is a device that interpretates data. A port is only the door in and out from the computer.

propietary operating systems is one where an company designs, develops and markets it as their own system. Windows is one, OS X is another. You must buy it from them or one of their resellers. Linux is an open source OS which you can do what you want with it after you download it for free from the internet. This is what open source means. Do not confuse proprietary operating systems with proprietary applications or software. These are programs developed by a specific company for a specific purpose when off the shelf software will not meet their needs.

An example of utility software include system profiler, network managers, disk defragmenters and so much more. Such software is mainly designed to configure, analyze, maintain and optimize a computer.

The priority scheduling algorithm is a kind of CPU scheduling algorithm where the processes that wait for the CPU are scheduled according to their priority..

Depending on the base operating system, yes. In almost all cases, the operating system from which the second one is loaded lacks memory protection, allowing the second operating system to replace the first one in memory. This can be used, for instance, to boot Linux from MS-DOS or classic versions of Mac OS.

Providing the Intel processor is in an Apple Mac computer, and the rest of the computer parts are present too, then Mac OS X can be installed.

in operating system

• a microprocessor is hardware, it provides the physical mechanism (electronic circuitry) needed to run any software on a computer
• an operating system is software, it provides the logical mechanism (algorithms) to coordinate the running of all the software on a computer
• applications (or apps) are software, they are coordinated by the operating system and run by the microprocessor to perform tasks useful to a human user of the computer

Open source, such as one of the Linux variants; Ubuntu, or Kubuntu, for example.

the device on which complete operating system is stored

YES, Windows, Linux, etc...

you have to first get the CD for the OS you wish to install...then restart your PC and alternate between F9,F11, and delete...this will take you to a screen where you can edit your BIOS...find the boot sequence and change the first one to boot from CD...insert the CD you wish to install and restart your PC...after awhile it should load up the CD and allow you to install the new OS

(you can even dual boot if you defrag, learn to split your Hard Drive into partitions, and then get a program such as grub or lilo boot loader).original

It would depend on the operating system. Proprietary systems such as Microsoft windows, Z/OS, IBM i, OpenVMS, AIX as well as other licensed UNIX implementations can only be installed and run on the machines for which they were intended and licensed. Anything else will not work because of the differences in the hardware and may also be in violation of the End-User-License.

Open source systems such as Linux do not have this problem. It is already available for may hardware platforms and the source code is freely available for anyone interested in implementing it on other machines.

An open source (OS) operating system is a set of programs that schedule tasks, allocates storage and presents a default interface to the user between applications. But this OS is free, user have the right to use, modify and redistribute the software for better interoperability

the two activities that the operating system manages are the (1) System Software and(2) Application Software.

Interconnect the two PCs with a crossover cable.

In Windows or Linux closes the active window opened. If no one window are open the system asks to shutdown the computer.

The default setting is 100%. See the Related Question below to read how to change the setting.

Is Microsoft's Windows XP Professional operating software a product or a service? Discuss the core, actual, and augmented levels of this software offering?

As long as it is possible to remove the bundled software, it is fair to bundle soft applications with an operating system since equivalent software is available for free on the Internet. Of course, the people who wrote the version for the Internet want a donation for their time. Still, you can try it first and see if you like it. If you like it better than the bundled software, you should send them a donation.

a business multimedia system includes equipment, programs, and people organized for the purposes of communication, data storage and retrieval systems (multimedia databases and electronic filing systems),

A: Installing Fedora/RHEL is the process of copying operating system files from a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive to hard disk(s) on a system and setting up configuration files so Linux runs properly on the hardware. Several types of installations are possible, including fresh installations, upgrades from older releases of Fedora/RHEL, and dual-boot installations.
