X86-64 Linux distributions

Linux Vendors Comparisons DeVry University During my research of Linux vendors, I have narrowed my options to three distinct vendors. I have found Red Hat, Novell, and Ubuntu were three of the best companies worldwide. Each vendor has their advantages and disadvantages. I will address the positive and negative points of each vendor. The main differences between the three vendors that I will discuss are cost, training & support, performance & reliability, and lastly availability

Use Understanding Virtualization by Implementation By: Thomas Kay Introduction Virtualization is a proven software technology that is rapidly transforming the IT landscape and fundamentally changing the way that people compute. Today’s powerful x86 computer hardware was designed to run a single operating system and a single application. This leaves most machines vastly underutilized. Virtualization lets you run multiple virtual machines on a single physical machine, sharing the resources of that

merits of Microsoft 's Windows versus the open source platforms, Linux being one of them. Typically, discussions center around desktops or servers but an area often overlooked is embedded systems. Examples of such systems are industrial machines, automobiles, medical equipment, and specialized devices. "With the growing ubiquity of smart devices, the device arena offers action every bit as intense" (LinuxDevices). Both Windows and Linux offer solutions for specialized areas that include devices such

2. Linux(Open Source Operating System ) It has been more than 20 years since Linus was found. Linus Torvalds, founder of Linux OS sparked an open source revolution with a short email declaring he was doing a new project “just for fun” and now Linux powers world’s super computers and other gadgets. Basically Linux is everywhere. Linux kernel development proceeds under a loose, time-based release model, with a new major

LINUX vs. WINDOWS The debate on Windows vs. Linux is truly an on going one with no end in site. Regardless how you come at this juncture you are usually a UNIX supporter or a customer of Microsoft OS and products who are grateful for products of Microsoft. We will in the following paragraphs try to compare the advantages and disadvantages of these different systems. We will give a brief description on the cost of these products, what kind of market-share these two systems hold, the availability

VIRTUALIZATION Virtualization is a concept in which access to a single underlying piece of hardware, like a server ,is coordinated so that multiple guest operating systems can share that single piece of hardware ,with no guest operating system being aware that it is actually sharing anything at all. Working mechanism-Virtualization software tackles the issue by empowering many operating systems and applications to run on one physical server or “host.” Each independent “virtual machine” is secluded

WINDOWS 8 Introduction: Windows 8 is an operating system produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. Development of this operating system started before the release of its predecessor in 2009. Its existence was first announced in January 2011 at Consumer Electronics Show. During its development and test phases, Microsoft released three pre-release versions:
