This course focuses on the principles, theory and features of multi-user, multi-tasking operating systems. It covers user account management, network and system service management, process management, scheduling, input/output, memory management, file systems, and system management. These concepts are illustrated by studying the operation of an open-source UNIX operating system (e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu). Also, comparisons to MS Windows systems management are done.
