History...

eThe GNU Project

➢ Sta r ted by Richard M Sta llman (RMS) in 1984

➢ The goa l of GNU was a “free” Unix like OS

➢GNU software was based on the GPL

➢RMS himself wrote GCC, Emacs, GDB

eThe GNU Project

eThe GNU Project

➢GNU e volve s ...

➢ GNU system was “a lmost” complete by 1991

➢ Herd, the GNU kernel was incomplete

eLinux, the missing piece of GNU system

➢ In 1991, Linus Torva lds sta r t wr it ing a “free Unix like opera t ing system” ca lled “Linux”

➢Many developers a round the wor ld join Linus

➢ In 1994, Linux 1.0 is released

➢ In 1996, LANL uses a 68 node Linux cluster to simula te a tomic shock waves

eSoftware Licensing Taxonomy

eLinux distributions

Lin ux dis tribu tion s● Linux Dist r ibu t ions a re made by put t ing together

Linux kernel and other software in to a single package

● RedHat , Debian , Mandrake, Caldera , SuSE are popular Linux Dist r ibut ions

Re dHat● Supported by many commercia l vendors● Good package management system – RPM

Man drake● Gaining popula r ity as more “user fr iendly”● Impressive graphica l user in ter face

SuSE● Popula r in Europe, especia lly Germany● A huge set of software is bundled with SuSE

Slackw are● Known as the do-everyth ing-yourself

dist r ibut ion● Popula r among some Linux gurus

Debian● Excellen t package management system -

APT● Extremely stable● Easy system upgrade● Thousands of packages

System Architecture

eSystem Overview

eComponents of a Linux Distribution

➢Linux kernel➢This is the heart !

➢Shells and GUIs➢For command input ...➢Textual - bash, csh➢Graphical - KDE, GNOME

➢System Ut ilit ies➢System ut ilit ies (ls, cp, grep,...)➢Daemons (telnetd, sshd, sendmail, ht tpd,...)

➢Applicat ion Program s➢gcc, openoffice, mozilla,...

ePurpose of the Kernel

➢The Linux kernel presents a virtual m achine interface to user processes

➢Processes are writ ten without needing any knowledge of what physical hardware is installed on a com puter

The Linux kernel abst racts all hardware into a consistent virtual interface

➢Linux supports m ult i-tasking in a m anner that is t ransparent to user processes

Conceptual Architecture of Linux Kernel

eArchitectural Features

➢Kernel is com posed of five m ain subsystem s

➢Linux kernel architecture was designed to support a large num ber of volunteer developers

➢Subsystem s that are m ost likely to need enhancem ents were architected to easily support extensibility

eKernel Subsystems

eProcess Scheduler Architecture

eMemory Manager Architecture

eVFS Architecture

eNetwork Interface Architecture

eSupporting Multiple Developers

eSome of the Supported Platforms...

➢Com paq Alpha AXP

➢Sun SPARC and Ult raSPARC

➢IBM S/390, MIPS

➢Motorola 68000

➢PowerPC, PowerPC64

➢ARM, Hitachi SuperH

➢HP PA-RISC, Intel IA-64,

➢DEC VAX, AMD x86-64, CRIS

eTo say...

Big or small, Tux serves them all!

eSupport for your office...

Linux In the Enterprise

eThe Present

Copyrighted Material Removed

eClassic Phases of Linux Adoption

eThoughts...

➢Since Linux and open source cover such far-reaching possibilit ies and m ult iple m arket segm ents — from em bedded to high-end, very-large server plat form s — enterprise IT m anagem ent will require t im e to digest its potent ial to deliver significant returns and what price to pay to m ove from current legacies to Linux

➢Since m ost plat form s will cont inue to deliver on road m aps for scalability, availability and m anageability in all the m arket segm ents to which Linux is an aspiring OS environm ent , the slope on which Linux will r ise in enterprise acceptance is governed by return on investm ent (ROI) analysis

eLinux Acceptance

eLinux and Type of Applications

eWhich OS in Future?

eThoughts...

➢Microsoft is vulnerable. Many of the users were com plaining about NT reliability, ut ilizat ion and overhead in adm inist rat ion, plus the license costs for hundreds to thousands of servers

➢Although Linux will st ill account for only 18 percent of 2007 server shipm ent revenue, it cont inues to be the year-to-year fastest growth OS

eHW Vendors...

eBest of the Best – Apache Web Server

eOSS and Linux: Where it is used and not used

eLinux in the Desktop

eConclusions

➢Greater plat form and OS independence

➢Benefits from ut ilizing com m odity and open source

➢Broader vendor support

➢Increased rate of Unix and proprietary replacem ents

➢Increased at tent ion by independent software vendors

➢Com pet it ive challenge to Windows pervasiveness

➢Open where it m akes sense, proprietary by value
