was developed in the 1970s by Ken Thompson, Dennis UNIX System
Ritchie, and others in the AT&T Laboratories. It was
originally meant for programmers developing software
rather than non-programmers.

Unix and the C were found by AT&T and distributed to


government and academic institutions, which led to both
being ported to a wider variety of machine families than
any other operating system. The main focus that was
brought by the developers in this operating system was
the Kernel. Unix was considered to be the heart of the
operating System. The system Structure of Unix OS are

Introduction to
operating systems developed in the mid 1960s at Bell UNIX System
Labs. It was originally developed for mini computers and
has since been ported to various hardware platforms.
UNIX has a reputation for stability, security, and scalability,
making it a popular choice for enterprise-level computing.

The basic design philosophy of UNIX is to provide simple,


powerful tools that can be combined to perform complex
tasks. It features a command-line interface that allows
users to interact with the system through a series of
commands, rather than through a graphical user interface
(GUI).
Some of the key features of UNIX include:

Advantages of UNIX:
1.Stability: UNIX is known for its stability and
reliability. It can run for long periods of time without
requiring a reboot, which makes it ideal for critical
systems that need to run continuously.

2.Security: UNIX has a robust security model that


includes file permissions, user accounts, and
network security features. This makes it a popular
choice for systems that require high levels of
security.

3.Scalability: UNIX can be scaled up to handle large


workloads and can be used on a variety of hardware
platforms.
Advantages of UNIX:
4.Flexibility: UNIX is highly customizable and can
be configured to suit a wide range of needs. It can
be used for everything from simple desktop systems
to complex server environments.

5.Command-line interface: UNIX’s command-line


interface allows for powerful and efficient
interaction with the system.
Disadvantages of UNIX:
1.Complexity: UNIX can be complex and difficult to learn for users
who are used to graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
2.Cost: Some UNIX systems can be expensive, especially when
compared to open-source alternatives like Linux.
3.Lack of standardization: There are many different versions of UNIX,
which can make it difficult to ensure compatibility between different
systems.
4.Limited software availability: Some specialized software may not
be available for UNIX systems.
5.Steep learning curve: UNIX requires a certain level of technical
knowledge and expertise, which can make it challenging for novice
users.
LINUX Operating
System
WHAT IS LINUX?
Linux is a Unix-like, open source and community-developed
operating system (OS) for computers, servers, mainframes,
mobile devices and embedded devices. It is supported on
almost every major computer platform, including x86, ARM
and SPARC, making it one of the most widely supported
operating systems.
Linux is a powerful and flexible family of operating systems
that are free to use and share. This openness encourages
people from all over the world to work together and make
Linux better and better. Since its beginning, Linux has grown
into a stable and safe system used in many different things,
like computers, smartphones, and big supercomputers. It’s
known for being efficient, meaning it can do a lot of tasks
quickly, and it’s also cost-effective, which means it doesn’t
cost a lot to use.

How is the Linux operating system used?
The Linux OS can be found in many different settings,
supporting many different use cases. Linux is used in the
following ways:

• Server OS for web servers, database servers, file


servers, email servers and any other type of shared
server. Designed to support high-volume and
multithreading applications, Linux is well-suited for all
types of server applications.
• Desktop OS for personal productivity computing.
Linux is an open source and freely available desktop
environment for users who prefer it to commercial OSes.
How is the Linux operating system used?
• Headless server OS for systems that do not require a graphical user
interface (GUI) or directly connected terminal and keyboard. Headless
systems are often used for remotely managed networking server and other
devices.

• Embedded device or appliance OS for systems that require limited


computing function. Linux is used as an embedded OS for a variety of
applications, including household appliances, automotive entertainment
systems and network file system appliances.

• Network OS for routers, switches, domain name system servers, home


networking devices and more. For example, Cisco offers a version of the
Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) that uses the Linux kernel.
How is the Linux operating system used?
• Software development OS for enterprise software
development. Although many development tools have been
ported to Windows or other OSes, Linux is home to some of the
most widely used open source software development tools. For
example, git for distributed source control; vim and emacs for
source code editing; and compilers and interpreters for almost
every programming language.

• Cloud OS for cloud instances. Major cloud computing


providers offer access to cloud computing instances running
Linux for cloud servers, desktops and other services.
Linux is highly configurable and depends on a modular design that
enables users to customize their own versions of Linux. Depending
on the application, Linux can be optimized for different purposes
such as:

• networking performance;
• computation performance;
• deployment on specific hardware platforms; and
• deployment on systems with limited memory, storage or
computing resources.

Users can choose different Linux distributions for specific


applications or adapt a specific distribution to incorporate custom
kernel configurations.
Linux distributions
Linux distribution is an operating system that is made up of a
collection of software based on Linux kernel or you can say
distribution contains the Linux kernel and supporting libraries and
software. And you can get Linux based operating system by
downloading one of the Linux distributions and these distributions
are available for different types of devices like embedded devices,
personal computers, etc. Around 600 + Linux Distributions are
available and some of the popular Linux distributions are:

SOLARIS
Operating System
Solaris Operating System
Solaris is a Unix-like operating system developed by
Sun Microsystems, which Oracle later acquired. Solaris was
the successor to the company's previous SunOS in 1993.
Solaris gained popularity for its scalability and for having
many new features. Solaris supports SPARC and x86-64
workstations and servers from Oracle and other vendors.

After acquiring Sun Microsystems, Oracle discontinued the


OpenSolaris distribution and development. Oracle stopped
providing public updates to the source code of the Solaris
kernel, in August 2010, thus turning Solaris 11 back into a
proprietary closed-source operating system.
Solaris Operating System
Solaris is the Unix-like operating system developed by
Sun Microsystems rooted in the BSD operating system
family. The first release of SunOs dates back to 1982.
Since Sun Microsystems created the platform-
independent programming language Java and Java
runtime environment (JRE), Solaris systems come with a
Java virtual machine (JVM) and the Java Development
Kit (JDK) pre-installed.
Sun provided the following three
extensions for its Solaris OS:

•The kernel is the root of the Solaris OS and represents the core of Solaris. On
the other hand, the exterior part is denoted by the shell, which is an interpreter
of instructions. The shell provides us with a user interface so we can have
access to the operating system.

•Solaris 2.5.1 was the only version that supported the Power PC platform (PC
architecture of the type RISC). However this version ended up being canceled
soon after its release.

•Other than scalability and interoperability, portability is one of the
greatest benefits that the Solaris OS possesses.
Features of the Solaris Operating System
• Solaris has an application binary interface (ABI), which
executes the application software on any operating system
with an identical microprocessor architecture. This leads to
decreased costs of software development, the faster landing
of products in markets, reduced costs of conversion, etc.
• Solaris is highly scalable. It’s capable of running on multiple
devices, independent of its pertinence to a big environment.
This ensures that if the user base grows or needs a more
powerful system Solaris can handle the situation well.

UBUNTU System
What Is Ubuntu?
• Ubuntu is a popular free and open-source Linux-based operating
system you can use on a computer or virtual private server.

• Ubuntu was introduced in 2004 by a British company Canonical.


It was based on Debian – a popular distro back then – which was
difficult to install. As a result, Ubuntu was proposed as a more
user-friendly alternative.
• As the manager of Ubuntu, Canonical is responsible for releasing
a new Ubuntu version every six months. Canonical also provides
hosting servers for Ubuntu Community, allowing people
worldwide to contribute to testing software bugs, answer
questions, and give technical support for free.

Strong Security
• Ubuntu is open-source, undergoing constant checks and reviews
by its community members. As a result, any security
vulnerabilities can be identified and eliminated quickly. Generally,
Linux distributions have fewer security flaws compared to other
operating systems.
• What’s more, Ubuntu employs AppArmor, a kernel enhancement
that restricts how programs behave and limits their resources. It
works when you have profiles inserted into the kernel.
• In addition, there are a number of security practices Ubuntu
supports, such as automatically installing security updates, using
us do instead of root Linux user, implementing complex
passwords, setting up a VPN server, configuring firewall using
ufw, and enabling iptables.
More Software Options
• Most of the popular macOS and Windows applications such
as Slack, Spotify, and Firefox are also available for Linux users and can
be installed via the Ubuntu Software Center. Even if you can’t find the
application you want, chances are there is a quality alternative available.
For example, Libre Office works just as well as Microsoft Office.
• Another option you can use aside from the Ubuntu Software Center
is Snapcraft. It is an application created by Canonical that contains open-
source and proprietary software packages available for Linux-based
operating systems. One major advantage of Snapcraft is that it uses the
snapd daemon that automatically checks and updates applications.
More Software Options
Enhanced Privacy
• Just like any other operating system, Ubuntu has its data privacy policy.
There are four fundamental principles that Ubuntu follows in terms of
personal information processing:

• Ubuntu doesn’t ask for personal data unless it truly needs such
information for legal purposes.
• Ubuntu doesn’t share its users’ personal information with anyone except
to provide its customers with products and services, comply with the
law, and protect its rights.
• Ubuntu doesn’t store personal information except if it is required for the
operation of services, to provide products, comply with the law, or
protect its rights.
• Ubuntu also collects some hardware information as well as
location and usage data. However, you can always stop it from
doing so. For example, location services can be disabled via the
Privacy settings, as shown below.
Lightweight Performance
• Ubuntu is not resource-intensive – it operates smoothly on low-
end devices. The default interface can run on less than 1 GB of
RAM. What’s more, a lot of Ubuntu desktop environments are
even more lightweight. For example, Lubuntu can run on systems
with as little as 512 MB of RAM.
Free of Charge
• Ubuntu is a free open-source operating system that you can
download from its official website. You can also modify its source
code as you see fit – as of now, there are numerous projects
based on Ubuntu.
