Difference between Linux and Unix-computer world

Difference between Linux and Unix LINUX Cost :   Linux can be freely distributed, downloaded freely distributed from magazines, books etc. Developed : Linux Kernel is developed by the community. Linux Torvalds oversees things. Price : Free but support is available for a price. Security : Linux has about 60-100 Viruses listed  till date. None of them activity spreading nowadays. Architectures : Originally developed for Intel x86 hardware, ports available for over two dozens CPU types including ARM. Examples : Ubuntu Fedora red hat, debia, Android etc. Processor : Dozens of different kinds.  UNIX Cost : Different flavors have different cost. Developed : Three biggest distributions are Solaris , IBM and HPUX.  Price : some free development use but support is available for a price.  Se curity : A rough estimate of Unix virus is between 85 - 120 viruses reported till date.  Examples : OS X, Solaris, all Linux  Processes : x86/x64, spar,...

What is world wide web-computer world

  What is world wide web The world wide web is a collection of millions of file stored on thousand of computers all over the world. These files represent text document, pictures, videos and just about any other kind of information that has even been recorded in computer files. The web is the largest and most diverse collection of information ever assembled.   The world wide web is consists of large number of websites that contain a number of web pages which is maintained by the various web server.  Websites are collection of web pages  A web page is a HTML document In 1980, Tim Berners-Lee, contractor at the European organisation for nuclear research built ENQUIRE, as a personal database of people and software models. In 1984 berners-lee returned to CERN, and considered its problems of information management physics from Around The World needed to share data. In 1993 there are 50 Web Services across the world. In 1994 the total number of website was still minute comp...

Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system-computer world

  Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system Single partition allocation In this scheme operating system is residing in law memory and user process are executing in higher memory. Advantages It is simple  It is easy to understand and use Disadvantages User job is limited to the size of available memory. It leads to poor Utilization of processor and memory. Multiple-partition allocation  It is the simplest method for allocating  memory is divided memory into several fixed size partitions. Fixed Equal-size partitions It divides the main memory Into equal number of fixed sized partitions, operating system occupies some fixed portion and remaining portion of main memory is available for user processes. Advantages It supports multi programming. A process whose size is less then or equal to the partitions size can be loaded into any available partition. Disadvantages If a program is big to fit in...

Deadlock in operating system-computer world

  Deadlock in operating system-computer world Deadlock :  In a multi-programming environment, many process may complete for a minute number of resources. A process make a request for a resource and if the resource is not available at that time, the process enter In a waiting state. A waiting state process is never again-able to change state because the resource it has requested is held by other waiting process. This situation is called deadlock. So we can say that a process is said to be deadlock when it is waiting for an event or resources which will never occurs.   so we can say that in this situation none of the process gets executed  since the resource it needs, is held by some other process which is also waits for some other resource to be released.  Let's assume that there are three process P1, P2, p3 and three different resources R1, R2 and R3. R1 is assigned to p1, R2 is assigned to P2 and R3 is assigned to P3.   After somet...

What is computer and its characteristics-computer world

  What is computer and its characteristics  Computer  :  Computer is an electronic data processing device, which accept and store data input, process the data and generates the output in a required format. computer is made up of integrated  parts (input, control, ALU, storage and output unit) All the part work together to process data so, we can say that a computer is a programmable electronic device accept row data as input and process it with  set of instruction to produce the result as output. Meaning of computer The word "computer" comes from the word "compute" which means to "calculate". The word computer is derived from the Latin word compute which means to calculate. Characteristics of computer Automatic : It is a automatic machine work by itself without human instruction. Speed :  A computer is a very fast devices. It can perform in a few second, the amount of work that a human being can do in an entire year.  Accuracy : In addition t...
