OPERATING System LAB

Q. 1 :

What is the file system used by the Linux?. Answer:

There are certain File formats used widely in Linux but not preferred under

Linux specially for installing Linux root System. e.g., UFS of BSD. Ext4 is

the preferred and most widely used Linux file System. In certain Special

case XFS and ReiserFS are used. Btrfs is still used in experimental

environment.

Q. 2 :

Name two types of boot loaders available. Answer: There are many of Linux boot loaders available to use. For Linux, the two most common boot loaders are known as

  • LILO ( LInux Loader )
  • LOADLIN (LOAD LINux). An alternative boot loader, called GRUB ( GRand Unified Bootloader ), is used with Red Hat Linux. LILO is the most popular boot loader among computer users that employ Linux as the main, or only, operating system. GRUB, Syslinux are mostly used in all over the world these days for Linux OS. Q.3: What are the names of partitions created for Linux? Answer: There are two kinds of major partitions on a Linux system:
  • Data partition: normal Linux system data, including the root partition containing all the data to start up and run the system; and
  • Swap partition: expansion of the computer's physical memory, extra memory on hard disk. Most systems contain a root partition, one or more data partitions and one or more swap partitions. Systems in mixed environments may contain partitions for other system data, such as a partition with a FAT or VFAT file system for MS Windows data.

2. Security: Linux is more secure in comparison to other operating systems such as Windows. Linux is not completely secure as there is some malware for it also but it is less vulnerable than others. 3. Revive older computer systems: Linux helps you to use or utilize your old and outdated computer systems as a firewall, router, backup server or file server and many more. 4. Customization: A major advantage of Linux over other operating systems is customization. 5.Free to use (Low Cost): Linux is freely available on the web to download and use. You do not need to buy the license for it as Linux and many of its software come with GNU General Public License. 6. Stability (Reliability): Linux provides high stability also this is good advantage i.e. it does not need to be rebooted after a short period of time. Your Linux system rarely slows down or freezes. 7. Privacy: Linux ensures the privacy of user’s data as it never collects much data from the user while using its distributions or software but this is not true for many other operating systems.

8. Performance: Linux provides high performance on various networks and workstations. 9. Compatibility: Linux runs or executes all possible file formats and is compatible with a large number of file formats. 10. Fast and easy installation: Linux can be easily installed from the web and does not require any prerequisites as it can run on any hardware, even on your oldest systems.
