Linux and Windows are two popular operating systems. Linux was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and runs on various hardware, while Windows was first released by Microsoft in 1992 as a graphical user interface operating system with strong networking capabilities. Many beginner users find Windows easier to use, giving it an advantage, while Linux is primarily used by advanced users such as programmers. Linux has free and low-cost variants while Windows licenses can cost $50-$150. Both systems use a modular kernel approach but Linux supports modularity more fully with loadable modules.
Description of linux and windows
- 1. Linux vs. Windows
- 2. Linux Linux was originally built by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in 1991. Linux is a Unix-like, Kernel-based fully memory protected, multitasking operating system. It runs on a wide range of hardware from PCs to Macs.
- 3. windows • First version of windows-Windows 3.1 released in 1992 by Microsoft. • Windows is a GUI based Operating system. • It has powerful networking capabilities is multitasking and extremely user friendly.
- 4. Computer users cont. Many beginner users find windows easer to use them other system. Windows has been enjoying and overall advantage over Linux due to Microsoft’s market success because of its broad focus aimed at all kind of users. Linux has been primary used by advanced computer users-programmers and developers.
- 5. security Windows Linux Very flexible security model Two models based on Access control lists. Access control lists(SE Linux) Standard Linux model. Supports auditing. Users are defined with. Users are defined with- Capabilities(privileges). privileges. Member groups Member groups. Security is implemented on an object-by-object basis. Has no built in auditing support.
- 6. Cost comparison Windows Linux Microsoft windows can run The majority of Linux between $50.00-$150.00 us variants are available for free dollars per each license copy. or a much lower price then Microsoft Windows.
- 7. Linux Kernel Linux a monolithic but modular system. Modularity is supported in two ways. Compile-time options. Most kernel components can be built as a dynamically loadable kernel module(DLKM). DLKMs Built separately from the main kernel. Kernel modules can be upgraded incrementally.
- 8. Windows Kernel Windows is a monolithic but modular system. No protection among pieces of kernel code and drivers. Support for modularity is somewhat weak. Windows drivers are dynamically loadable kernel modules. Built independently from the kernel. Can be loaded on demand.
