Comparison of Operating System

The document summarizes the key differences between Linux and Unix operating systems. Linux is an open-source, multi-user operating system based on Unix architecture. It uses file systems like ext3/ext4 by default and administration tools like Yast. Unix originated in 1969 and is programmed in C language. It uses various file systems and administration tools are specific to flavors like SAM on HP-UX. The document provides a comparison table highlighting differences in aspects like rating, features, security, cost etc. between Linux and Unix as well as Linux and Windows Vista. Usage share graphs from 2009-2010 are also included showing dominance of Windows XP over other OSs.

LINUX

Linux is a multitasking, multiuser operating


system that is known for its stability. Although
modified by numerous people, its robustness
stems from its Unix-like architecture that keeps
peripheral software components isolated from the
core software (the kernel).
