The War Of The Operating System's  Posts like Windows vs Mac vs Linux are quite common now a days especially with the launch of Ubuntu 8.10. People prove how one operating system is better than other through benchmarks, but today we will not compare any benchmarks like other. This post will tell you which Operating system is better than the other on pure usability terms. I

This post is about the desktop operating systems that fly under the radar of most people. i'm not definitely talking about Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, or even BSD or Solaris. There are much less mainstream options out there for the OS-curious.These alternative operating systems are usually developed either by enthusiasts or small companies (or both), and there are more of them than you might expec

Ever since Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 RTM/SP1, Microsoft's Windows client and server operating systems have been virtually joined at the hip. As a future product development strategy, the two platforms will evolve together, an aspect valid not only for Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2, but also for the forthcoming Windows 7 operating systems. Microsoft confirmed at t

Most books on operating systems deal with theory while ignoring practice. While the usual principles are covered in detail, the book describes a small, but real UNIX-like operating system: MINIX. The book demonstrates how it works while illustrating the principles behind it. Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Second Edition provides the MINIX source code. The relevant selections of the M

There are plenty of opinions out there about Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix, and Solaris. Everyone knows that Windows is by far the most dominant OS for both business and personal use. It's what I use for business, and my own personal development. In my opinion, Windows XP is the best operating system out there. Many Microsoft users are totally 100% pro-Windows, and scoff at the very mention of Mac

Sam Harnett Operating Systems: File Systems File systems are an integral part of any operating systems with the capacity for long term storage. There are two distinct parts of a file system, the mechanism for storing files and the directory structure into which they are organised. In mordern operating systems where it is possibe for several user to access the same files simultaneously it has also become necessary for such features as access control and different forms of file protection to be implemented . A file is a collection of binary data. A file could represent a program, a document or in some cases part of the file system itself. In modern computing it is quite common for their to be several different storage devices attached to the same computer. A common data structure such as

Microsoft Windows server operating systems simplify managing the amount of network storage space users receive. Here's how to set warning messages and disk quotas using both the Windows Server 2003 and Windows Small Business Server 2003 operating systems. Running out of server disk space is one of those problems that just shouldn't happen. Yet, with so many organizations increasingly trying to do more with less, having to monitor security, guard against spyware, viruses and network intrusions and manage other administrative challenges, an administrator's workday is quickly consumed. Fortunately, newer Windows server operating systems simplify managing the amount of network storage space users receive. Here’s how to set warning messages and disk quotas using both the Windows Server 2003 and Windows Small Business Server 2003 operating systems. Windows Small Business Server 2003 To configure disk quota warnings and limitations for an individual user in Windows Small Business

Well, maybe you’ve heard of one or two… after all, you’re reading this site! But largely in the computing world, there are the Big Three, with Microsoft leading the pack, Apple making a strong second, and Linux coming up from the rear. On the server side, Solaris and BSD have some light numbers (though they’re adapting to the desktop presently). But when you want to establish yourself as UBER-leet, check out one of these arcane systems and you will forever have bragging rights as one who ventured far off the beaten path. Plan 9 From Bell Labs - What a tangled history it has! Created by the same visionaries who made Unix, this was an experimental venture to try to re-define the multi-tasking system. Bell Labs orphaned the project and then sold the lab out to Lucent technologies, which killed it completely. If it hadn’t been released as open source, it would be dead today, but instead it has a very tiny cultish following. Arcane in the extreme, it doesn&r
