Linux - Operating system of cybertimes

Though for a lot of people , regard Linux as the main operating system to make up

huge work station group, finish special effects of " Titanic " make , already can be

regarded as and show talent fully. But for Linux, this only numerous news one of.

Recently, the manufacturers concerned have announced that support the news of

Linux to increase day by day, users' enthusiasm to Linux runs high unprecedentedly

too. Then, Linux only have operating system not free more than on earth on 7 year

this piece what glamour, get the favors of such numerous important software and

hardware manufacturers as the masses of users and Orac le , Informix , HP , Sybase , Corel , Intel , Netscape , Dell ,etc. , OK? 1.The background of Linux and characteristic

Linux is a kind of " free (Free ) software ": What is called free,

mean users can obtain the procedure and source code freely , and can use them freely ,

including revise or copy etc.. It is a result of cybertimes, numerous technical staff

finish its research and development together through Inte rnet, countless user is it test

and except fault , can add user expansion function that oneself make conveniently to

participate in. As the most outstanding one in free software, Linux has characteristic of the following:

(1)Totally follow POSLX standard, expand the network operating

system of supporting all AT&T and BSD Unix characteristic. Because of inheritting

Unix outstanding design philosophy , and there are clean , stalwart , high-efficient and

steady kernels, their all key codes are finished by Li nus Torvalds and other

outstanding programmers, without any Unix code of AT&T or Berkeley, so Linu x is not Unix, but Linux and Unix are totally compatible.

(2)Real many tasks, multi-user's system, the built-in network

supports, can be with such seamless links as NetWare , Windows NT , OS/2 ,

Unix ,etc.. Network in various kinds of Unix it tests to be fastest in comparing and

assess efficiency. Support such many kinds of files systems as FAT16 , FAT32 ,

NTFS , Ex t2FS , ISO9600 ,etc. at the same time .

(3) Can operate it in many kinds of hardwares platform , including such processors

as Alpha , SunSparc , PowerPC , MIPS ,etc., to various kinds of new-type peripheral

hardwares, can from distribute on global numerous programmer there getting support

rapidly too.

(4) To that the hardware requires lower, can obtain very good performance on more

low-grade machine , what deserves particular mention is Linux outstanding stability , permitted " year " count often its running times.

2.Main application of Linux At present, Now, the application of Linux mainly includes:

(1) Internet/Intranet: This is one that Linux was used most at present, it can offer and

include Web server , all such Inter net services as Ftp server , Gopher server , SMTP/POP3 mail

server , Proxy/Cache server , DNS server ,etc.. Linux kernel supports IPalias , PPP and

IPtunneling, these functions can be used for setting up fictitious host computer , fictitious service ,

VPN (fictitious special-purpose network ) ,etc.. Operating Apache Web server on Linux mainly,

the occupation rate of market in 1998 is 49%, far exceeds the sum of such several big companies as Microsoft , Netscape ,etc..

(2) Because Linux has outstanding networking ability , it can be usedin calculating

distributedly large-scaly, for instance cartoon making , scientific caculation , database and file server ,etc..

(3) As realization that is can under low platform fullness of Unix that operate , apply

at all levels teaching and research work of universities and colleges extensively, if Mexico

government announce middle and primary schools in the whole country dispose Linux and offer

Internet service for student already.

(4) Tabletop and handling official business appliedly. Application number of people of

in this respect at present not so good as Windows of Microsoft far also, reason its lie in Lin ux

quantity , desk-top of application software not so good as Windows application far not merely,

because the characteristic of the freedom software makes it not almost have advertisement that

support (though the function of Star Office is not second to MS Office at the same time, but there are actually few people knowing). 3.Can Linux become a kind of major operating system?

In the face of the pressure of coming from users that is strengthened day by day,

more and more commercial companies transplant its application to Linux platform,

comparatively important incident was as follows, in 1998 ①Compaq and HP
