Windows NT and Linux

Windows NT and Linux internal appearance comparison One of the many challenges companies, small businesses, or educational institutions face is how to build a network for people inside and outside the organization. Linux and Windows NT are two network operating systems suitable for this purpose. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. One organization (Nichols College) began using each operating system for two completely different purposes. I will explain the functions of the two operating systems and the implementation of Nichols.

Microsoft Windows has existed since 1983, and the current product Microsoft Windows 2000 is based on Windows x, Windows 9 x and Windows NT. LINUX has been in existence since 1991 because of its novelty, the first version of the UNIX operating system that first appeared in 1969. On paper, do you think the difference is not surprisingly important? In fact, in either case, the recommended settings will be greatly improved depending on the purpose of the system and the application being used The biggest change is the memory usage of the Microsoft Windows 2000 platform. 256 MB Professional is 512 MB on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server.

Taste: There are many kinds of Windows and Linux. Windows has two main lines, "Win9x" consisting of Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, and Me, and "NT class" consists of Windows NT, 2000, and XP. The style of Linux is called release (it may be abbreviated until release). All versions of Windows come from Microsoft and the various Linux distributions come from the graphical user interface of various companies (Red Hat, Caldera, Mandrake). Both Linux and Windows provide GUI and command line interface. The Windows GUI has been changed from Windows 1 to Windows 95 (large), Windows 2000 (slight) to Windows XP (very large). Windows XP is the first version of Windows that allows you to select a GUI. It can be used with the new GUI or Windows 2000 and Windows 9x. Linux usually provides two GUIs, KDE and Gnome.

The most obvious difference between NT and Linux is that NT is trying to incorporate the familiar Windows graphical user interface into the server environment. Ideally, webmasters can maintain NT (and its bundled Web server, Microsoft Internet Information Server, also known as IIS) by mainly pointing and clicking. NT also bundles a set of Microsoft proprietary site development tools. On the other hand, Linux is based on the long-changing Unix command line culture tradition. Learning Unix from the beginning is more difficult (or at least difficult) than learning a Windows system, but UNIX users who have surmounted the initial learning curve have the pleasure of trying to do the same work at the same job It rarely to express. Windows environment When your local system administrator (system administrator) has to get up from his Linux workstation to repair your PC you will observe "Windows anger"
