Building OS kernels • Monolithic kernel (the only solution until the 1980s) - Linux belongs to this category. - the whole kernel runs in a single address space, - communication via direct function invocation. • Microkernel (e.g. Mach). - functionality of the kernel is broken down into separate processes (servers), - some servers run in kernel mode, but some in user mode - all About the Author Richard Petersen, MLIS, teaches Unix and C/C++ courses at the University of California at Berkeley.

If you are already comfortable with Linux systems, you will find the lab easy. This lab is a prerequisite to any lab using the Linux systems, and you will be expected to know everything in the lab by heart. Unix is a computer Operating System which is capable of handling activities from multiple users at the same time. The development of Unix started around 1969 at AT&T Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. This tutorial gives a very good understanding on Unix. Audience What is Linux? Linux is the most famous and demanding open-source operating system similar to other OS like Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS, iOS, Google android, etc. It is a clone of UNIX. The basic function of an OS is conveying the input to get processed by the processor and delivers output to the hardware to display it. Unix/Linux Command Reference File Commands 1. ls Directory listing 2. ls -al Formatted listing with hidden files 3. ls -lt Sorting the Formatted listing by time modification 4. cd dir Change directory to dir 5. cd Change to home directory 6. pwd Show current working directory 7. mkdir dir Creating a directory dir 3.0 Navigating the Linux Filesystem The Linux filesystem is a tree-likehierarchy hierarchy of directories and
