Basic role of a multi-user multi-tasking operating system users programs Operating System hardware
GNU/Linux Operating System Architecture Users (multi-user) Programs (multi-tasking) User Space Shell Applications Commands & Utilities X / Desktops Richard Stallman started the GNU project in 1983 to create a free UNIX-like OS. He Founded the Free Software Foundation in 1985. In 1989 he wrote the first version of the GNU General Public License GNU C Library (glibc) Kernel1 System Call Interface Process Management Memory Management Virtual File System Network Stack Kernel Space Architecture Dependent Kernel Code Device Drivers Linus Torvalds, as a student, initially conceived and assembled the Linux kernel in 1991. The kernel was later re-licensed under the GNU General Public License in 1992. Hardware 1See “Anatomy of the Linux kernel” by M. Tim Jones at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-kernel/
User Space • Components • Shell (in /bin) • Command interpreter and programming language (scripting) • Commands and utilities (in /bin, /sbin, /usr) • cat, ping, ls, fdisk, chmod, man, ifconfig, ... 100’s more • X / Desktops (in /usr) • X window managers, gnome, kde, etc. • GNU C Library (in /lib) • Math, string, input, output, logging, kernel system calls, etc. • Applications (in /usr, /opt) • Browsers, word processing, spreadsheets, software development, administration, databases, web servers, etc. • Design • Programs restricted to the privileges of the user running them • Unlike Windows, the GUI does not run in the kernel • Unlike Windows, multiple graphical desktops available
The Linux Kernel (in /boot) • Major Subsystems: • System Call Interface • mechanism for user space programs to request kernel services. • Process Management • handles fork, exec, exit, kill, signals, CPU scheduling, etc. • Memory Management • allocation, usage tracking, paging, etc. • Virtual File System • open, close, read, write, caching, etc. • Architecture Dependent Kernel Code • Drivers (dynamically loadable drivers are in /lib/modules) • Design • Linux kernel is “monolithic”, not a “microkernel” • Dynamic – can load and unload modules on the fly • Over time has become efficient, stable and portable
UNIX/Linux User Interfaces CLI – Command Line Interface GUI - Graphical User Interface TUI - Text User Interface (uses curses library)
Types of Installations • CD, DVD, or ISO image • Live CD/DVD • Attended vs. Unattended • Local vs. Network • Imaging software (Ghost, ImageCast) • Build from scratch
Three steps to an installation • Prepare the storage device Partition the disk Format the filesystems Select mount points for those filesystems • Copy the selected packages Package groups, packages, files • Write out the boot loader MBR or boot sector (GRUB, LILO, SYSLinux) Everything else is configuration
