One of the jobs of the kernel is to

• Transfer mail from one machine to another

• Manage the system’s resources

• Load the operating system after the computer is turned on

• Turn source code into machine code

Unix is:

• A distribution of Linux

• A text editor

• An operating system

• A type of hardware

Linux is written in

• c

• .net

• java

• PERL

• C++

Source code refers to:

• The interface that software uses to talk to the kernel

• The license that dictates how you may use and share the software

• The version of a program that the computer runs on the CPU

• A human readable version of computer software

Open source means:

• You must support the software you share

• You can view the software’s source code

• You cannot charge anything for the software

• You must share your changes

. Most of the tools that are part of Linux systems come from:

• Google

• Package manager

The most important consideration when choosing an operating system is

• What the computer will do

• The licensing model of the operating system

• The operating system’s mascot

• How much performance is needed

• Whether or not it is cloud-friendly

Linux is not Unix because:

• It’s not good enough

• It’s free

• It’s not made by the Open Group

• There are too many distributions

• It hasn’t undergone certification
