19/11/09 HW: difference of operating systems

Operating systems each have their own merits, and all have different good and bad points. The following is a list of operating systems available for the PC*:

LINUX - It's UNIX on the PC and other computers. This makes any computer VERY MUCH more powerful. It's the opposite of the "dumbed-down" computing which is a current fad (2001/01). Linux gives YOU the power to do what you want, rather than just assuming you conform to some ordinary notion of a user. Linux makes your PC like a mainframe, and is especially good for programming. In my opinion this is very good. If you want to be in control, this is for you.

Microsoft Windows - This is what many salesmen will assume you want, but it's not the only choice. My personal opinion is that it is NOT the best. However, it has the merit of being usable by those who don't really understand computers. My advice is that there are a lot of better options, and you should decide for yourself. But if you really must have it, don't get the latest edition. If you don't like programming and you do like point-and-click systems and moving things about with a mouse, this is for you.

BeOS - I have heard this is very good for real-time video and multimedia applications. It's now been bought out by Palm Computing. It lives on in a version called OpenBe. http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/news.php ... was http://www.be.com (domain lost)

QNX - Complete real-time operating system available with an Internet exploration browser included. This is the operating system which British Telecom are using (2001/06) in their Multiphones

Atheos - A relatively new GUI multi-tasking operating system available on the PC. Pervasive multi-threading. See www.atheos.cx. AtheOS is a free desktop operating system under the GPL license. AtheOS currently (2002) runs on Intel, AMD and other compatible processors and supports the Intel Multi Processor architecture.

Gnu Hurd - The long-awaited GNU kernel for Unix.

Linspire - Lindows - runs Linux and Windows programs, but time will tell what becomes of it.

ReactOS - It's almost exactly like Microsoft Windows, except it's free. (open source).

VisOpSys - VISual OPerating SYStem: small, fast, home-brewed, open source OS kernel for x86

Amoeba Operating System - Amoeba - worth a closer look.

Plan9 - was http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/ - - another interesting item.

HyperOs - allows multiple Windows operating systems on a computer AND allows Linux on multi-boot

Symphony OS (was http://www.symphonyos.com/) - "Unity, Beauty, Simplicity"

MSDOS - This has the advantage of the command line interpreter, but it's never been as clever as Unix. As regards versions, 5 was better than 4, 6 was better than 5, etc, but the best version was 6.22, and they got worse after that, 7 being not as good as 6.22

What operating systems should install on your netbook?

Linux is more flexible and configurable than Windows. the Linux netbook operating systems will continue to improve at a much faster rate than the Windows operating systems for netbooks.

The fastest personal computer is " YoYotech Fi7epower MLK1610"

16/10/09 HW:

1. How is Facebook and Twitter the same? - There are many similarities of facebook and twitter in term of status updates, tags pictures,comments, links, uploading photos and profiles of users. Both websites are more private because people have to be in the lists of each other. there are lots of information of user that can be inform so others can follow easily. Moreover, people can interact with others and find new friends easily. You can keep contact with the people you want to stay in touch.

2. Why do you think Facebook is worried about competition from Twitter? - Twitter is allowed people to sign up easier than facebook because signing up in facebook you have to inform a lot of detail about yourself. Therefore,it might be the important reason why more people are interested and decide to sign up twitter.
