What is UNIX? * The UNIX OS was born in the late 1960s. i ¢ AT&T Bell Labs released an operating system called Unix written in C, which allows quicker modification, acceptance, and portability. © It began as a one-man project under the leadership of Ken Thompson of Bell Labs. e It went on to become most widely used operating systems. ¢ Unix is a proprietary operating system. ¢ The Unix OS works on CLI (Command Line Interface), but recently, there have been developments for GUI on Unix systems. ¢ Unix is an OS which is popular in companies, universities big enterprises, etc.Features of Unix OS e Multi-user, multitasking operating system e It can be used as the master control program in workstations and servers. e Hundreds of commercial applications are available e In its heydays, UNIX was rapidly adopted and became the standard OS in universities.Limitations of Unix ¢ The unfriendly, terse, inconsistent, and non-mnemonic user interface ¢ Unix OS is designed for a slow computer system, so you can't expect fast performance. © Shell interface can be treacherous because typing mistake can destroy files. © Versions on various machines are slightly different, so it lacks consistency. Unix does not provide any assured hardware interrupt response time, so it does not support real time response time systems.What is LINUX? e Linux is an operating system built by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in 1991. The name "Linux" comes from the Linux kernel. It is the software on a computer which enables applications and the users to access the devices on thr. computer to perform some specific function. e The Linux OS relays instructions from an application from the computer's processor and sends the results back to the application via the Linux OS. It can be installed on a different type of computers mobile phones, tablets video game consoles, etc. ¢ The development of Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration. Today many companies and similar numbers of individuals have released their own version of OS based on the Linux Kernel.Features of Linux Operating System © Support multitasking e Programs consist of one or more processes, and each process have one or more threads ¢ It can easily co-exists along with other Operating systems. ¢ It can run multiple user programs e Individual accounts are protected because of appropriate authorization ¢ Linux is a replica of UNIX but does not use its code.Limitation of Linux © There's no standard edition of Linux e Linux has patchier support for drivers which may result in misfunctioning of the entire system. e Linux is, for new users at least, not as easy to use as Windows. ¢ Many of the programs we are using for Windows will only run on Linux only with the help of a complicated emulator. For example. Microsoft Office. ¢ Linux is best suitable for a corporate user. It's much harder to introduce in a home setting.Pers rr oo Deed err Ceo eas etc fred Created by Linus Torvalds in 1991.
