Understanding Process in Linux


Linux is a multi-tasking operating system is very successful. The optimal setting process is one key to its success. By understanding the process in Linux, we will be able to understand Linux better. Remember MS DOS? When you run a program, such as word star, then you can only run the program (single task). There is no formal mechanism to perform two or more programs at once. Resident programs not included in the category of multitasking that bypass the system to be run background.

Hence, the MS DOS is often said to be very stable. Of course, since only handle one user program at a time. Still remembered in the minds of the writer when Windows 95 came and caught so glad to hang, people like to grumble and say MS DOS 6 is more stable.

The comparison is not relevant because Windows 95 is a multitasking operating system. This means that, at one time, can run many programs. You can listen to music while typing in Microsoft Word for example. This is made possible by sharing time with a short time allocation in a short interval for each process.

Best Practices for Computer Performance and Safety Hardware Considerations I primarily want to share setup insights not directly related to the hardware in any given system, but in order to facilitate that advice there are a couple of basic principles of computer design I would like to encourage. Use a Dual Hard Drive Setup - I strongly recommend having two hard drives: a smaller, fast one for Windows and applications, and a larger one for data storage. Some folks might need even more data drives (which is fine), but the important part is to separate your data from your OS installation and programs. There are several advantages to this approach, including: You can reinstall Windows or programs without affecting saved data files Data can be backed up easily and independent of application files The data drive could be moved to a new computer in the future You can invest in a high-speed drive for your OS / applications without having to buy into large capacity that might be cost-prohib...

The Different Memory Cards And The Speed Of Some Of Them

The Different Memory Cards And The Speed Of Some Of Them The MMC and Secure digital cards are not the same but are interchangeable. The difference has to do with copy protections of the disk volume on the SD card. This extra feature makes the SD attractive for people who use them in MP3 players. No other cards are interchangeable. The Canon Power shot A510 you described comes with only 16MB, so it would be best to invest in more memory capacity. What I would recommend is getting one memory card that you will be able to use, even as your need for the amount of pictures you want to take changes. For this use I would recommend the SanDisk 1 GB Secure Digital Memory Card. Usually running around $90 this card will allow you transfer large files, take hundreds of photos, handle large movie files, and take pictures on the highest resolution setting. If you are looking for something with less storage space, but with an equally reduced cost. I would recommend the Kingston 512 MB SD Memory Card ...
