Linux is a powerful and popular operating system (OS), like Windows - but much better!

The Linux OS Software, Windows OS Software and "Other" Software

Think of there being two general types of software: operating system software and "other" software.

The "other" software consists of several types of software programs, including: application software programs, utility software programs and server software programs.

After you boot a computer system with an operating system, all of the

"other" software runs "on top of" the operating system.

You boot a desktop / workstation computer system with operating system software so you can run application software programs, like a word processor, spreadsheet, email, and browser.

You boot a server computer system so you can run one (or more) of many different types of server software programs, like a web server, file server, and email server.

There are also lots of different "utility" software programs that an OS lets you run like: calendar, calculator, sound recorder and hard disk management.

To see the Linux OS in action, click on this link to see some of the General Linux / Ubuntu Linux Video Tutorials. These Linux videos show you how the Linux OS works (in general) and feature using the Ubuntu Linux version of Linux.

Windows and Linux Operating System (OS) Functionality

When you boot a computer with an OS, like the Windows OS or Linux OS, the OS allows you to do tasks like:

• run application software programs, like a word processor, spreadsheet or email program

• save data files to your hard disk, like a letter, memo or report

• retrieve data files so you can edit them

• send data files to print

• and an OS provides lots of other services to your computer system
