What is Linux?
• An Open source OS,
written by Linus
Torvalds.
• Four parts of Linux
• Kernel
• Utilities
• Graphical Desktop
• Applications Software
System Memory Management

• Virtual Memory using swap space


• Memory locations grouped into
blocks are called pages
• Kernel keeps track of used pages
through page tables
• Swap-out
• Swap-in
Software Program Management

• Running program is a process, a foreground or a background process


• Kernel controls the processes
• init process---first process created by kernel
• When the kernel starts, it loads the init process into virtual memory
• Some Linux implementations contain a table of processes to start automatically on bootup.
• On Linux systems, this table is usually located in the special file /etc/inittabs.
Software Program Management

• The popular Ubuntu Linux distribution utilize the /etc/init.d folder, which contains scripts for starting
and stopping individual applications at boot time.
• The scripts are started via entries under the /etc/rcX.d folders, where X is a run level.
• The init utilizes run levels. There are 5 init run levels in the Linux.

• At run level 1&2, only the basic system processes are started, along with one console terminal
process. This is called single-user (admin) mode.
• At run level 3&4, most application software, such as network support software, is started.
• At level 5, the GUI X-windows is started
Hardware Management
• Any device that Linux must communicate with needs device driver code to be inserted into kernel
• Driver code allows the kernel to pass data back and forth to the device
• Two methods are used to insert device driver code into kernel
• Drivers compiled into the kernel
• Drivers' modules are added to the kernel
• The Linux system identifies hardware devices as special files, called device files.
• There are three classifications of device files:
• Character: Character device files are for devices that can only handle data one character at a time.
Examples: modems, and terminals

• Block: Block files are for devices that can handle data in large blocks at a time, such as disk drives

• Network: The network fi le types are used for devices that use packets to send and receive data.
Examples are network cards and a special loopback device

File System
Management
• The Linux kernel can
support different types of
filesystems to read and
write data to and from
hard drives.
• Table 1-1 lists the
standard filesystems that
a Linux system can use to
read and write data.
The core bundle of utilities
supplied for Linux systems iscalled
the coreutils package.

The GNU
The GNU coreutils package
Utilities consists of three parts:

• Utilities for handling files


• Utilities for manipulating text
• Utilities for managing processes
The Shell Utility
Shell provides a way for users to start programs, manage fi les on the filesystem, and manage processes running on the Linux system.

The core of the shell is the command prompt.

The command prompt is the interactive part of the shell.

It allows you to enter text commands, and then it interprets the commands and executes them in the kernel.

You can also group shell commands into files to execute as a program. Those files are called shell scripts.
