	Wikinfo \| Operating system
		The operating system takes care such that other applications are able to use memory, input and output devices and have access to the file system.
		An operating system is conceptually broken into three sets of components: a shell, a kernel and low-level system utilities.
		In some operating systems the shell and the kernel are completely separate entities, allowing you to run varying combinations of shell and kernel (eg Unix), in others their separation is only conceptual (eg Windows).

	Identifying Important Operating Systems
		Information on operating systems and their relative popularity is available from various kinds of sources, including web sites, magazine articles, books, and surveys.
		Your final result should be a list of operating systems that are identifiable as important to your users, and therefore important for your programmers, designers, and site architects to accommodate.
		When a new operating system — or an upgrade to an existing operating system — is released, you have to be ready to evaluate that operating systems' relevance to your audience.

	CS 551: List of Possible Project Topics
		Each computer in a distributed system must have a concept of time relative to the other computers in the system and an efficient means to convey this time to the system in order to provide synchronization between the processes.
		While the total body of information concerning this operating system is far too large for a single term project, selective study of one of the suggested topics is feasible.
		The Hive OS Team is designing an operating system that is able to operate effectively in a traditional supercomputer environment as well as in a general-purpose, multiprogrammed environment.

	LinuxSA Mailing List: Re: Operating systems.
		I was once told that it was because they wanted to be exactly different from the existing systems of the day when they were developing the first versions of DOS; they called it "innovation" and said it was for "ease of use".
		There are SCSI problems on all systems though so if you're having problems configuring it (rather than the fact that there is no driver for it) just keep beating away at it and it will conceede defeat some time.
		I have seen this when I was working with computers years ago, and still see it now when parents buy their young kids a computer for school, and can't work out how to install this new $700 M$ office package so the kids can do their homework.

	CS 736 - Advanced Operating Systems - Project List
		A file system can be viewed as a large, complex data structure (i.e., consisting of a superblock, i-nodes, indirect blocks, and data blocks).
		This will involve understanding the file system data structures of a particular OS (e.g., Linux or Windows), traversing those structures by reading from the raw disk device, determining what information is interesting, and innovating in how to display this complex information simply.
		You might make such a system smarter by attempting to obtain vertical information, such as on which floor you are (might be obtained by inferring from which base station you are receiving, e.g.,).

	Review of Operating Systems
		As embedded systems (PDAs, cellphones, point-of-sale devices, VCRs, industrial robot control, or even your toaster) become more complex hardware-wise with every generation, and more features are put into them by the day, applications they run require more and more to run on actual operating system code in order to keep the development time reasonable.
		Microsoft's attempts at fitting a large unstable desktop-PC operating system, with a hammer, into the stringent requirements of embedded systems are here: Windows CE (which is about to lose its 'CE' part so as to confuse people a bit more) and their latest monster,
		Aditya Bansod's OSS and OSS2 are operating system simulators for Windows that implement their own OS ontop, and provide abstraction for local processes.

Each of the listed operating systems was tested for compatibility with Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E base system configuration listed in Section 2 of the Tested Hardware and Operating System List document.
		Operating systems are supported only with the specified base system configuration(s) with which they were tested.
		Operating systems supported by Intel® Server Management software may be different than the operating systems supported by the server board.

	Popular operating systems list, by The Linux Information Project (LINFO)
		The core component, the Hurd (Hird of Unix-replacing daemons) kernel (i.e., the core of the operating system), is still not completed because of its very ambitious goal: to surpass Unix-like kernels in functionality, security and stability while remaining largely compatible with them.
		It is unusual among Unix-like operating systems in that it is built on the Mach kernel, which is also used in Mac OS X. Tru64 was originally developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and called Digital UNIX.
		POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for uniX) is a set of programming interface standards governing how to write source code so that the applications are portable between operating systems.

	Top Ten List - Understanding Personal Operating Systems
		In the following list, I'll be explaining the 10 most important roles and points about what operating systems are and how they work, using the computer metaphor whenever possible.
		And while we're on this point, I want to say that I think that most humans are simply using the OS that came with their 'computer' meaning that we've simply adopted the one that our parents or culture has used for a long time and included along with our upbringing.
		(FYI, parents teach their kids application programs AND a default operating system, just as most Intel-based computers come preinstalled with Windows 95 as the operating system.) And it may well be a great system, but I feel that you have the right to replace all or part of it with one of YOUR choice.

		The central idea of a Web operating system is to provide a desktop (or Webtop) in a Web browser that is similar in function to a PC desktop.
		To be an operating system, it needs to have applications (or Weblications, as they have been called) along with management tools.
		Exactly what constitutes a Web operating system is debatable, but in general at the client end a Web browser is responsible for rendering the user interface and handling user interaction as well as performing some or all of the processing.
