2.Objectives of Subject

-          For courses 

The general objective is to study operating systems, as resources management in a computer system. Process management, memory management, I/O management and file systems are examined in general and with particularities in distributed computing and in real time systems.    

  -          For applications   

The general objective is to give extended abilities in LINUX operating system. The laboratory applications exercise abilities in working with essential in line commands and system variables, I/O operations, file systems.  Working with compilers or scripting utilities and administrative tasks for LINUX network servers are included.
