• deployment on systems with limited memory, storage or
computing resources.
System Utilities
System utilities are essential
tools and programs provided by
the Linux Operating System to
manage and configure various
aspects of the system. These
utilities perform tasks such as
installing software, configuring
network settings, monitoring
system performance, managing
users and permissions, and
much more. System utilities

simplify system administration
tasks, making it easier for users
to maintain their Linux systems
efficiently.
Advantages of Linux
•The main advantage of Linux is it is an open-source
operating system. This means the source code is easily
available for everyone and you are allowed to contribute,
modify and distribute the code to anyone without any
permissions.
•In terms of security, Linux is more secure than any other system. It does not mean
that Linux is 100 percent secure, it has some malware for it but is less vulnerable
than any other operating system. So, it does not require any anti-virus software.
•The software updates in Linux are easy and frequent.
•Various Linux distributions are available so that you can use them according to your
requirements or according to your taste.
•Linux is freely available to use on the internet.
•It has large community support.
Advantages of Linux
•It provides high stability. It rarely slows down or freezes and
there is no need to reboot it after a short time.
•It maintains the privacy of the user.
•The performance of the Linux system is much higher than other operating
systems. It allows a large number of people to work at the same time and it
handles them efficiently.
•It is network friendly.
•The flexibility of Linux is high. There is no need to install a complete Linux
suite; you are allowed to install only the required components.
•Linux is compatible with a large number of file formats.
•It is fast and easy to install from the web. It can also install it on any hardware
even on your old computer system.
•It performs all tasks properly even if it has limited space on the hard disk.

ORACLE
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.
•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.
Applications of Solaris Operating System
Networking
Enterprise Computing
Solaris is widely used in networking
Solaris is widely used in enterprise
environments for its advanced
computing, particularly in large data
networking features, such as support for
centers and high-performance computing

provides a number of tools for network
features, and ability to handle heavy
management and monitoring.
workloads make it an ideal choice for
mission-critical applications.
Financial Services
Solaris is used in many financial
services applications, such as trading
systems and risk management
platforms. Its scalability, reliability, and
security features make it an ideal
platform for these applications.
Features of the Solaris Operating System
Following are some prominent characteristics of the Solaris
operating systems:

•The main founders of the Solaris operating system are Andreas von
Bechtolsheim, Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy, and Scott McNealy.
•Solaris Operating System itself is a proprietary and closed-source
Unix-based operating system.
•OpenSolaris is a free and open-source operating system developed
from the proprietary closed-source version of the Solaris operating.
•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.
Operating
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.
60%
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.
