Thomas Edison Associates Report on how to install and optimizing Operating System Software Report 1. Explain the purposes of an operating system and identify four operating systems Answer: An Operating System is a software which provides an interface between the user and the computer hardware and software. We cannot operate a computer without an Operating System. It has graphical user interface, Disk formatting utilities and so on. Examples for Operating System are : Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and Apple Mac. 2. Explain and distinguish between batch system, real-time system, multi-tasking systems Answer: An Operating System can perform lots of different functions and we can classify the main categories as three. The first one is Batch System which contains instructions to load software installed on the PC and control the boot process. In real time system we can operate the computer by entering key strokes and the Operating System will perform certain functions assigned to them. The final category is Multi Tasking systems which contains features to perform multiple tasks simultaneously such as running two different programs at a time. 3. Identify and explain four basic functions of operating system, including file system, memory management, process scheduling Answer: The basic function of an Operating System is to control all the Hardware and Software installed in a computer. We can't even install a software without the help of an Operating System. The Operating System acts as a middleman between the user and the computer. It allows the user to install software he need and control the functions of Hardware components. Another important function is manage the storage of files in a Hard Drive using a File System. A File System contains a specific structure in order to store the data in the Hard Disk effectively. It helps to access the data we need more faster and efficiently. It also helps the user to use the maximum space from the hard disk without wasting too much storage space. Examples for File System are NTFS, FAT. Its so important to allocate the available system memory effectively for each tasks in order to provide maximum performance which is done by an Operating System. Operating Systems are designed to manage the System Memory cleverly. Process Scheduling is a excellent function provided by the Operating System. We can schedule a particular task at our convenient time wit the help of an Operating System like reboot the PC after 2 hour, Defragment the Hard Disk and Scanning for Viruses and so on. 4. How can you optimize an operating system for your PC. document any adjustment recommendations Answer: The use of computer differs from one user to another. So that we can optimize the Operating System according to the user in order to get the maximum performance. Some software will start when you start (Boot) the computer. As the number of Start-up Programs increases automatically the PC performance will slow down. We can disable unwanted programs at Start-up in order to get maximum speed from the PC. The steps to do that will differ in each Operating System. Another optimizing technique is to disable unwanted Operating System Services which is running in the background. Its recommended to Defragment the hard disk in a regular basis and clean up the temporary files which will maintain the PC performance. 5. Document the new system according to organizational requirements in a professional report Operating System: Ubuntu 8.10 Mother Board: GIGABYTE GA-8SKML Processor: Intel Celeron 1.7 Ghz clock frequency System Memory: 384 MB BIOS: AWARD Software Inc. Release 28/08/2008 Monitor: IBM Think Vision CD Drive manufacturer: Samsung Floppy drive: Sony MPF 920-1 Mouse: DOLPHIN 2000 With 400dpi, PS/2 TYPE, 3 Buttons Keyboard: TSUNAMI PS/2 Standard Keyboard PS/2 Ports: 2 Rear USB Ports: 2 Front and 2 Rear Parallel Port: 1 LPT1 Rear Serial Port: 1 Rear Video Port: 1 Rear Audio ports: Microphone Port Front And Rear, 2 Speaker Ports Rear 6. Benchmark the performance of the operating system and save as a report in your folder 'Netintro – (Name) Unfortunately we could not benchmark the performance of the PC which we have installed Ubuntu 8.10 due to lack of time. We had faced lots of issues while installing the Operating System a and it took the majority of our time in order to resolve those issues. Project Install and test a new operating system such as Windows 7 or XP We have installed Ubuntu 8.10 in a PC which has all the required hardware needs. The installation didn't start because the CD Rom was not working correctly. We changed the CD ROM drive twice in order to start the installation. Installation was started fine but stuck on 44%. We restarted the installation once again and it worked fine. Identify and demonstrate management of virtual memory Virtual Memory is part of the Hard disk which assigned for the use of System Memory just like the RAM do. If the System Memory is full automatically the programs will load in the Virtual Memory. We can change the Virtual Memory settings in Windows XP Operating System by go to the System Properties and click on the Advanced tab the click on Settings button under Performance. Obtain from vendors websites and advise technical specifications and system requirements Determine and apply knowledge of licencing, hardware and security requirements nstall, configure and test the operating system software in accordance with installation procedures and organisational requirements Optimise the system to meet organisational requirements and bench test. Install the operating system with minimal disruption to client or users Provide one-to-one instruction about changes to the client or users as required =======================================================================
