Linux has become the foundation for infrastructure everywhere as it defined application portability from the desktop to the phone and from to the data center to the cloud. As applications become increasingly distributed in nature, the Docker platform serves as the cornerstone of Linux’s evolution solidifying the dominance of Linux today and into tomorrow. The Future of the Operating System. What is an Operating System ? Docker + Linux.

You may think this is going to be another rant on Linux being so good because it is open source and free and Linus Torvalds is god and this and that but it is not going to be like that. Instead of focusing on the philosophical side of things I am going to focus on the operating system itself. As you may know, Linux is modelled after the Unix operating system.

The idea started running around in my head that most people, even those who just use Linux distributions without looking under the hood so to speak, will not know exactly what run levels are. Run levels are not unique to Linux and other unix type operating systems. The windows operating system has always had two run levels althoughIn the previous article I mentioned run levels.

The most common complaint I am informed about regarding Linux is that it is hard to use. So I am going to compare some common tasks between Linux, windows and macos to see if Linux is really that hard to use. I will base these comparisons on a fresh install of the operating system as it comes out of the box so to speak. Personally, I find this complaint very puzzling.

Unix has become Linux, and it is running on an amazing variety of devices. New lineages of Linux have emerged.Some are highly specialized, some are more generic. I run Linux on a half dozen platforms at home. A quick google search revealed not one, but several Linux distros that will run on this unit. You don't need expensive gear and proprietary operating systems to do impressive things with computers. Unix has always fascinated me.

In order for the software to operate correctly, the supporting software in the environment has to be identical to the software that was present when the software was developed. By contrast each container shares the operating system kernel with the other containers.

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is a memory-protection process for operating systems that guards against buffer-overflow attacks. It helps to ensure that the memory addresses associated with running processes on systems are not predictable, thus flaws or vulnerabilities associated with these processes will be more difficult to exploit. ASLR is used today on Linux, Windows, and MacOS systems. It was first implemented on Linux in 2005.
