SCL 3:
OPERATING SYSTEM AND FILE MANAGEMENT
1)List down all the operating system used in a
desktop/laptop today and find good descriptions of how operating system
work?Hence,state their advantages and disadvantages.
ADVANTAGES
|
DISADVANTAGES
|
UNIX OPERATING SYSTEM
·
Provides true multi-user,
multitasking,protected memory operation,while using a minimal amount of memory.
· Unix provides solid user security via its
account validation and authentication.
. In unix ,everythings is a file,including the
terminal and devices,which means it
can run on a number of different hardware platforms,making it easy for users
to install on whatever hardware they choose to use.
|
· Documentation on many of these tools is hard
to find,and is also incomplete.
· Not a very user friendly operating system.
·
Its basic interface is the command line and
even experienced users can make mistakes using this interface.
·
It can be cryptic and even though there are
numerous utilities and applications for unix platforms which can be too much
for someone new to unix.
|
WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
·
Easy to use,especially for new computer
users,plenty of help resources are available online.
· It has a large library of available
software,games,and utilities.
·
Hardware manufacture all make drivers and
support for windows operating system.
|
·
Can be expensive.
· Lags behind it competitors
· Openess to virus attacks is a major
disadvantages.
|
MAC OPERATING SYSTEM
· Mac is a much more secure OS,and is far less
open to viruses and malware.
·
Stability is a major advantages.
·
It very rarely crashes,loses data or freezes.
|
· It is
expensive operating system.
·
Mac computer are more expensive generally
than PC’s.
|
LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
·
It is
an open source operating system,which in most cases is free.
·
It is very reliable and rarely freezes.
·
Many programs are free or open source,even
the very complex ones.
· Fewer computer programs,games,utilities are
available for linux.
· The open source nature of linux allows more
advanced users to customise the code as they wish.
|
·
Inexperienced computer users may find it more difficult to get grips with linux.
·
There are still some manufacture that not
offer hardware support for linux operating system,although there are fewer
every years.
· Only a few people use Linux,therefore it is
more difficult to find someone familiar with it although there are vast
resources online.
|
CHROME OPERATING SYSTEM
·
Consistent and stable operating system.
·
Pages and applications are running isolated
in memory from others.
· Perfect for novice users.
· It is fast when it is used.
· The newest generation of chromebooks have
recorded 7 seconds to fully load the operating system from boot up.
|
·
It is very difficult to run all of the
programs if there is issues on internet connectivity seeing that many
operations require a stable connection to the internet to perform.
·
Chromebooks running chrome operating system
are unable to perform types of offline leisure like playing games,image
editing and programming making operating system less useful for those who
