Q

80% of servers use:

24
Q

■ A specific operating system that was designed to be able to support the
smartphone and tablet market
■ Originally released by the open handset Alliance, which is primarily
backed and driven by Google
-Open source based on Linux

25
■ Proprietary operating system developed by Google ■ Developed to run specifically on laptops and desktop hardware created by Google ■ This hardware was designed to keep costs very low -built-in virus protection and firewalls
ChromeOS
26
Versions of this OS are named after desserts
Android (Android 13-Tiramisu)
27
Operating system used on Mac computers, built by Apple ● iMac ● Mac desktop ● MacBook -Proprietary
macOS
28
macOS was previously called:
OSX
29
Versions of this OS are named after places in California
macOS (Ventura)
30
Developed by apple for their smartphones and tablets ○ Developed as a closed source operating system ○ Have a very high percentage of total market share for mobile devices -based on Unix
iOS and iPadOS
31
built on a kernel called darwin - based on Unix
macOS
32
Developed as a fork of the main iOS branch -supports multitasking
iPadOS
33
Organize data and information on a hard drive, solid state drive, or other storage device - must be created before you can install an operating system or storage device like a hard disk drive
Filesystem
34
Windows operating systems use
NTFS, FAT32, or exFAT
35
Linux will use
ext3, ext4, or exFAT
36
macOS uses the Apple file system known as
APFS
37
A 64-bit filesystem that allows for large volumes and very large file sizes Linux and macOS cannot read this filesystem type
NTFS
38
Some key features of NTFS
Journaling, Snapshots, Security, POSIX, compliance, indexing, and dynamic discs
39
allows for faster recovery from power outages and crashes
Journaling
40
allow you to make a read-only copy of a file, even if it is already locked -volume shadow copy service
Snapshots
41
has a higher security level and allows you access to audit trails, quota management, and an encrypting filesystem
NTFS
42
Each file can be protected against unauthorized access
Encrypting Filesystem (EFS)
43
supports Unix and Linux compatibility between NTFS and a Unix or Linux filesystem
POSIX
44
Are linux and unix case sensitive when naming files?
Yes
45
a catalog of file and folder locations to help speed up searches
Indexing
46
can combine physical discs into one larger disc that is understood by the operating system
Dynamic discs
47
You can only have a total drive size of up to 2 TB and the maximum file size is 4 GB in this Filesystem ■ limited due to it being a 32-bit allocation table, where the maximum file size is around 4.2 billion bytes or 4 GB ■ supported by Windows, Unix, Linux, and macOS ■ is usually used on removable drives like external hard drives or USB flash drives
FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32 bit)
48
These are supported by Linux and Unix systems, but not by Windows or macOS by default
Extended file type system, also known as ext3 and ext4
49
has a maximum volume size of 32 TB and maximum file size of 2 TB -supports journaling
ext3
50
4 has a maximum volume size of 1 EB and maximum file size of 16 TB -better performance than ext3
ext4
51
has been the default file system of macOS since 2018 considered a journaled filesystem, and provides same journaling benefits as in NTFS has a higher level of performance when dealing with SSD than a traditional HDD -full disc encryption
APFS
52
supports large volumes of up to 128 PB in size and file sizes of up to 16 EB considered cross platform capable and can be used on Windows, Unix, Linux, or macOS 64 bit version of FAT
exFAT (Extensible file allocation table)
53
Most computers can talk the same language using:
TCP/IP
54
What may keep a business from upgrading OS?
some peripherals in a business may only be supported by older operating systems
55
If computers are not of same OS, what would they use to communicate with each other?
