P194 - LINUX ORIENTATION 

(COMPANY SPECIFIC PROGRAMME FOR L.I.C. OF INDIA)

Background

Linux is a powerful, stable, flexible and fun Unix-like operating system (most programs written for Unix are fully compatible with Linux systems) that is currently being used by millions of people around the world. Its lean core allows it to run on a wide range of different hardware platforms-- in fact, when it comes to the support of diverse hardware, Linux takes first place, running on more hardware architectures than any other operating system. It not only runs on Intel Computers (on which it originally ran), but also most of the hardware platforms already in use. 

Linux is fast and reliable. It has all the features of a modern, fully-fledged operating system: true multi-tasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared, copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and TCP/IP networking. Linux is used for software development, networking (intra-office and Internet) and as an end-user platform. Linux supports multiple users and several Windows-like graphic interfaces, and is exceptionally stable, because from its inception it was designed to take multiple hits and field numerous requests. This makes Linux an excellent choice for servers.
