McGraw-Hill Education is proud to introduce the seventh edition of Jane and Charles Holcombe's Survey of Operating Systems. This title provides an introduction to the most widely used desktop operating systems (including Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux) using numerous illustrations and hands-on activities to build a foundation for success in the IT field, empowering students to adapt to different job situations and troubleshoot problems. The new edition features updated information on mobile operating systems, as well as chapters on subjects peripheral to operating systems, such as File Management in the Cloud - previously only offered as online content.
Linux, a free operating system with many of the same qualities as UNIX, has the potential to save corporations millions of dollars. To grasp how important a free operating system is, think of an operating system as the software engine of your computer. Then consider the engine in your car. An engine costs thousands of dollars, but if a company started making and distributing free engines, the cost of your new car would drop dramatically, requiring just the cost of the body and chassis, electrical system, radiator, passenger heater and air conditioner, radio, and many other components. Ofcourse, the Linux community offers many of the additional software components for the OS free.
