Re: unix os
Advantages of UNIX
Quote:
* It is multitasking, therefore, multiple programs can run at one time.
* It is multiuser, allowing more than a single user to work at any given time. This is accomplished by sharing processing time between each user and utilizing distributed computing systems.
* It is safe, preventing one program from accessing memory or storage space allocated to another, and enables protection, requiring users to have permission to perform certain functions, i.e. accessing a directory, file, or disk drive.
