Operating systems (OSes) provide a set of functions needed and used by most
application-programs on a computer, and the necessary linkages for the control and
synchronization of the computer’s hardware

The Most popular operating systems presently in the market are Windows,Debian
GNU/Linux,Android,Mac OS X,Haiku

Windows 1.0 is a 16-bit graphical operating environment that was released on 20

November 1985 . Windows 1.0 was the first version of Windows launched. The first
release version of Windows 1.0 is actually named Windows Premiere Edition.

Windows 7 is the latest release of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems

produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and commercial
use

Debian GNU/Linux Non-commercial linux distribution, initiated by Ian Murdock on

16th August 1993

Mac OS 9 Apple’s operating system for PowerPC from 1999.

Android OS Special operating system with linux kernel for smartphones, developed by
google. On the market since October 2008

Haiku Started in August 18th, 2001 as OpenBeOS, this is the official open source
successor of BeOS.

An operating system (OS) is software, consisting of programs and data, that runs on
computers and manages the computer hardware and provides common services for
efficient execution of various application software.

For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating
system acts as an intermediary between application programs and the computer hardware,
although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware, but will
frequently call the OS or be interrupted by it. Operating systems are found on almost any
device that contains a computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to
supercomputers and web servers.

Examples of popular modern operating systems for personal computers are Microsoft
Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

What is Encryption
The translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve
data security. To read an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password
that enables you to decrypt it. Unencrypted data is called plain text ; encrypted data is
referred to as cipher text.

There are two main types of encryption: asymmetric encryption (also called public-key
encryption) and symmetric encryption.(also called private-key encryption)

Virtual Memory

Virtual Memory is a feature of an operating system that enables a process to use a

memory (RAM) address space that is independent of other processes running in the same
system, and use a space that is larger than the actual amount of RAM present, temporarily
relegating some contents from RAM to a disk, with little or no overhead.

ROM

ROM – Read-only memory: On ROM, data is prerecorded for read only which can not be
removed. ROM is nonvolatile and it retains its contents regardless the computer is on or
off. Most personal computers contain a small amount of ROM that stores critical
programs such as the program that boots the computer. In addition, ROMs are used in
calculators and peripheral devices such as laser printers, whose fonts are often stored in
ROMs. There are a few variations of ROM such as programmable read-only
memory(PROM), which is manufactured as blank chips on which data can be written
with a special device called a PROM programmer.

RAM

RAM – Random access memory: whose contents can be accessed (read, write and
remove) in any order. This is in contrast to sequential memory devices such as magnetic
tapes, discs and drums, in which the mechanical movement of the storage medium forces
the computer to access data in a fixed order. RAM is usually used for primary storage in
computers to hold active information such as data and programs. Common forms of
RAM are: SRAM (Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM).
