1. Linux:- It is an open-source Operating System.

2. Operating System:- It is an interface between hardware, software, user and


peripheral devices (printer and scanner).

3. Open Source:- An Open-source Operating System is the Operating System in which


source code is visible publically and editable. The generally known Operating
Systems like Microsoft's Windows, Apple's iOS and Mac OS, are closed Operating
systems.

4. History of Linux:- 1969 = multics (1st unix based OS)


1970 = unics = It is written in B Language.
1971 = C Language.
1973 = Unix = It is written in C Language.

5. Unix:- Kernel. UNIX is a multi-user operating system: a suite of programs that


run a computer and allow the interface to the hardware and software available. It
allows many users to share a powerful machine and all the available resources, each
user running their processes simultaneously.

6. Kernel:- It is a program inside every OS and makes an interface between hardware


and OS, but it is not open source. A Kernel is a computer program that is the heart
and core of an Operating System. The Kernel is responsible for low-level tasks such
as disk management, memory management, task management, etc. It provides an
interface between the user and the system's hardware components.
At that time only 3 companies had Unix kernel.
1. IBM = AIX OS.
2. HP = HP-UX OS.
3. Sun Microsystems = Sun Solaris OS.
All OS are Hardware dependent.
After that LINUS TORVALD made their own kernel that's code is open source. It is
same is unix but it is open source.
One comapany come named (Redhat) and make Linx + Software
(1) RHEL (RedHat Enterprises Linux)
(2) Ubuntu
(3) Fedora
(4) Kali (Penetration Testing)
(5) Parrot
(6) Suse
(7) Knoppix.

All OS have the same kernel


Diffrence
RedHat Centos
Price Free
there is support team. there is no support Available
====================================
RHEL Version
In offices = RHEL 6, 7, 8
November = RHEL 9 Beta
====================================

Partitions

/ = same as c ( we have to give maximum size)


/ boot = (it save only booting 500MB) atleast 1 gb

====================================
KDUMP:- Kernel Dump = It is a service. If any issue occurs in the OS we can repair
it
