Operating System: Security

The operating system is the most important program that runs on a computer. It performs basic tasks like input/output and manages files, directories, and devices. For large systems, the operating system also ensures different programs don't interfere with each other and handles security. Operating systems provide a software platform for applications to run on, and your choice of OS determines which applications you can use. Common operating systems for PCs include DOS, OS/2, Windows, and Linux. The Linux kernel originated as a student project and received contributions from volunteers to create a complete operating system integrated with the GNU parts.

OPERATING SYSTEM

1.

The operating system is the most important program that runs on a computer. Every general-purpose
computer must have an operating system to run other programs and applications. Operating systems
perform basic tasks, such as recognizing inputfrom the keyboard, sending output to the display screen,
keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk
drives and printers.

For large systems, the operating system has even greater responsibilities and powers. It is like a traffic cop -- it
makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The
operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system.

2.

Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs,


called application programs, can run. The application programs must be written to run on top of a particular
operating system. Your choice of operating system, therefore, determines to a great extent the applications
you can run. For PCs, the most popular operating systems are DOS, OS/2, and Windows, but others are
available, such as Linux.

3.

As a user, you normally interact with the operating system through a set of commands. For example, the
DOS operating system contains commands such as COPY and RENAME for copying files and changing
the names of files, respectively. The commands are accepted and executed by a part of the operating
system called the command processor or command line interpreter. Graphical user interfaces allow you to
enter commands by pointing and clicking at objects that appear on the screen.

4.

LINUX AND GNU Meanwhile, the Linux kernel originated in 1991 as a side project of Linus Torvalds, while a
university student in Finland. He posted information about his project on a newsgroup for computer students
and programmers, and received support and assistance from volunteers who succeeded in creating a
complete and functional kernel. GNU programmers joint the effort and both groups worked to integrate the
finished GNU parts with the Linux kernel to create a complete operating system. (Android, a popular

mobile operating system using the Linux kernel )
