Used by power users because of its flexibility and power Most versions offer GUI Both a stand-alone and a network operating system p Fig

33 Operating Systems: UNIX Developed in early 1970 s by AT&T s Bell Labs Several versions of UNIX exist, each slightly different. Some versions have a command-line interface, but most offer a GUI. UNIX runs on all types of computers. UNIX is the basis for ALL operating systems Common Unix Commands Visit: 33

34 Operating Systems Linux What is Linux? Popular, free, multitasking UNIX-type operating system Open-source software code is available to public Both a stand-alone and a network operating system e Red Hat provides a version of Linux called Red Hat Linux. The GNOME graphical user interface is shown in this example. p Fig Red Hat Linux 34

Focus on simplicity Cannot run Windows programs Recognizes most external devices (such as USB flash drives) p. 425 Fig

36 Operating Systems Linux Some versions of Linux are command-line Some versions are GUI interfaces Commercial: Red Hat Linux software The two most popular GUIs for Linux are: GNOME and KDE (Keyboard Desktop Environment) Motorola Corp has created mobile phones running the Linux operating system Operating Systems Linux Linux is network-friendly: It is capable of acting as client and/or server to any of the popular operating systems in use today. It is quite capable of being used as an OS by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Linux is a multi-user system which has advantages even for an OS where only one or two people will be using it. 36

37 Operating Systems Linux Linux is Open Source: that means that for the entire base system, which includes the kernel, the GNU tools, and all the basic utilities. Programmers and users have access to the source code as well as the right to modify it. Linux is Backwards-Compatible: has superb support for older hardware. In fact, it is often easier to find hardware support for era hardware than the latest gizmos to hit the market. This is because the device driver software authors need time to write and test the drivers. A Look at Linux Commands Visit: 37

38 Linux versus Windows What is Microsoft Windows? The Microsoft Corporation began development of the Interface Manager (later named Microsoft Windows) in the fall of 1981 Windows 1.0 was finally released to the market in 1985, promising users an easy-to-use graphical interface for consumers. Several others versions of Windows have been produced 2.0, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, ME DOS Based (Layered-Based) NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Project Longhorn NT Technology (Kernel-Based) 38

39 Microsoft Windows - Pros User-Friendly Generally Stable Windows 2000/XP are considered to be extremely stable and rarely crash. Home users can navigate Windows without fear of losing their work because they forgot to save. Hardware Support No lack of shortage in hardware support. It is very difficult to think of any hardware that is not supported in some way by Windows. Software Support Once again, there is an abundance of high-quality software designed specifically for Windows. You don t have to work hard to find what you are looking for. Windows Update If connected to an internet through an ISP, updates and patches are available to download while you work. Just click yes, and Windows updates itself with latest from Microsoft. Widely Used Among Consumers Facilitates communication between users. If everyone is using the same operating system, everyone has a general idea as to what the other individual is trying to communicate. Mobility is not an issue. Can take a file from one computer to another, and generally won t have to worry if that second computer is running Windows or not. Microsoft Windows - Cons Software While there may be an abundance of high-powered software designed for Windows, they are rather expensive. One must install separate software onto Windows for it to have any functionality. Windows without accompanying software is just a Naked System Re-booting Part of the reason for the long installation Windows needs to be rebooted to change minor settings like its IP address, hardware drivers, software, or swapfile size or any number of similar system settings File System Operating Systems running under different file systems may or may not be able to view and access files in a certain file system. FAT16, FAT32, NTFS Graphical User Interface (GUI) GUI-only environment hinders the functionality of the operating system code. If some sort of functionality hasn't been coded explicitly by the author of a program, then this functionality is simply not available. If you can t click it, you can t do it. Viruses Vast majority of known viruses are for Windows ONLY Grave security holes in Microsoft Outlook and Explorer Length of Installation Can take up to a couple hours to fully install just the Operating System Multiple Disks or separate drivers are required to install the OS 39

40 What is Linux? Linux is a kernel-based operating system Meaning that the operating system runs within itself. The program does not need to piggy-back from another program to run. Originally created by Linus Torvalds of Finland in 1991 with the assistance of developers around the world. Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone. Since the source code is available to anyone, there is no current official Linux version as with Windows. There are simply many different versions, called Linux Distributions, that are aimed towards different target groups. Each distribution differentiates itself from one another through their packaged software and their hardware platform. Linux Pros Ease of Installation Security Local Security Many users can use the same PC, one of which controls everything with administrative powers Remote Security Very difficult to hack into a Linux system from an outside source (Internet, Network) File Systems Can handle a variety of different file systems Perfectly handles reading and writing of Windows FAT32 partitions and it can read NTFS partitions (Windows XP default) Can access, but not modify any files located on any Windows partition Multi-User Platform Customization Very important for businesses. Since Linux is an open source program. Anyone can make changes to the operating system to make it match their needs. Server/Clients Linux is perfectly integrated to the internet and includes everything needed. Servers FTP Server: Pureftp, Proftp Mail Server: Sendmail, Postfix Web Server: Apache Clients FTP Clients: gftp, lftp Chat Clients: Kopete, Licq, Psi Clients: Kmail, Evolution 40

41 Linux - Cons Time-Intensive A user accustomed to Windows can at first be a bit disoriented since the whole structure of the system is different. Learning all the details about how a Linux system functions will take time and patience Noone should expect be able to harness the full power of Linux within the first few minutes of playing around with the operating system Hardware Support Although it runs on a variety of different hardware architectures, support for bleeding edge hardware can be problematic or its configuration tricky Software/Games Very few major commercial games available for Linux Most software found in stores is designed for Windows only Additional software can be problematic to install due to the variety of distributions of Linux. One piece of software that is installed on one computer may or may not be compatible with another computer running a different distribution. Network Operating Systems What are examples of network operating systems?
