Linux history
Linux is a modern, Open Source operating
system based on UNIX standards
First developed as a small but self-contained
kernel in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, with the
major design goal of UNIX compatibility
Its history has been one of collaboration by
many users from all around the world,
corresponding almost exclusively over the
Internet. (University of Helsinki)
Now it is overseen by Open Source
Development Labs(OSDL).

Linux kernel

Version 0.01 (May 1991) had no networking, ran only on

80386-compatible Intel processors and on PC hardware,
had extremely limited device-drive support, and supported
only the Minix file system

Linux 1.0 (March 1994) included these new features:

Support for UNIXs standard TCP/IP networking protocols
BSD-compatible socket interface for network
programming (Berkeley Software Distribution)
Device-driver support for running IP over an Ethernet
Enhanced file system
Support for a range of SCSI controllers for highperformance disk access
Extra hardware support

Version 1.2 (March 1995) was the final PC-only Linux kernel

Linux kernel

Released in June 1996, 2.0 added two major new

capabilities:
Support for multiple architectures, including a fully 64bit native Alpha port
Support for multiprocessor architectures
2.4 and 2.6 increased SMP support, added journaling file
system, preemptive kernel, 64-bit memory support

Linux OS structure

Linux OS structure
Hardware layer - Hardware consists of all peripheral
devices (RAM/ HDD/ CPU etc).

Kernel - Core component of Operating System, interacts

directly with hardware, provides low level services to upper
layer components.

Shell - An interface to kernel, hiding complexity of kernel's

functions from users. Takes commands from user and
executes kernel's functions.

Utilities Utility programs giving user most of the

functionalities of an operating systems.

What is Linux?
Why do we go for it?

What is Linux?
It is an open source Operating System
which is inherited from UNIX.
What do you mean by OPEN SOURCE ?

Why do we go for it?

With the following features:
Portable
Multiuser
Multitasking
Networking
Organized file system
Device independency
Utilities
Security

Linux
Distributions

Red hat
Fedora
Centos
SUSE
Debian
Ubuntu
Turbo Linux
Mandriva
Mandrock

Features of Linux os
Portable - Portability means software's can works on different types of hardware in same way. Linux
kernel and application programs supports their installation on any kind of hardware platform.

Open Source - Linux source code is freely available and it is community based development project.
Multiple teams works in collaboration to enhance the capability of Linux operating system and it is
continuously evolving.

Multi-User - Linux is a multiuser system means multiple users can access system resources like
memory/ ram/ application programs at same time.

Multiprogramming - Linux is a multiprogramming system means multiple applications can run at the
same time.

Hierarchical File System - Linux provides a standard file structure in which system files/ user files are
arranged.

Shell - Linux provides a special interpreter program which can be used to execute commands of the
operating system. It can be used to do various types of operations, call application programs etc.

Security - Linux provides user security using authentication features like password protection/
controlled access to specific files/ encryption of data.
