What exactly is Unix-based, and how does it differ from other operating systems (OSs)? A Unix-based operating system is a family of operating systems that share the design principles of the original Unix system. Some well-known Unix-based operating systems include Linux®, and various flavor...
Operating System Anoperating system (OS)is software that, after being loaded into the computer by an initial boot program, manages a computer’s resources, controlling the flow of information into and from a main processor. OSs perform complex tasks, such as memory management, control of ...
This chapter gives an overview of various operating systems (OSs) for the Raspberry Pi (the different flavours of Linux are sometimes called distros, or distributions). It provides sources for OS downloads as well as applications and other software such as utility programs, source code and device...

The Next Generation Computer Resources (NGCR) Program of the U.S. Navy is seeking to ...
Operating System Technical ComparisonIncludes a substantial amount of information on a variety of operating systems. Review of Operating SystemsA comprehensive review of commerical, free, research and hobby OSs. I/O Characterization and OptimizationA facility dedicated to education and research in the are...
A brief history of server OSs Operating systems have gone through some major changes over the years. While their beginnings are rooted in more humble, purely text-based user interfaces, today’s options have evolved into complex software packages with graphical interfaces, comprising an elegant go...
The purpose of this survey is two-fold one is to classify existing operating systems according to important OS features and and the other is to suggest suitable OSs for different categories of WSN applications mapping the application requirements and OS features. Architecture, Execution Model, ...
An RTOS can be critical in situations where delays could lead to operational or safety hazards, and industrial systems, automotive controls, and medical devices commonly use RTOSs. This paper goes into detail about real-time operating systems, how real-time operating systems are useful for ...

There were no OSs on the earliest computers, as software applications ran directly on bare-metal machines. However, as computing systems became increasingly complex, it became harder to manage the resources directly in an application. Consequently, more common functionalities were abstracted as drivers...
