Overview
This lab is an introduction to Operating Systems. An operating system is the interface between the user and a computer. It provides the necessary services to allow you to run applications. Services include user interface (graphical and text-based), job/task management, file management, device management, memory management, and security management. Each section of this lab will go into the different services at an awareness level.
In this lab, students will learn how to use Windows and Linux from a user perspective. The lab will review how to interact with a PC (both graphical and text-based), with both a mouse and a keyboard.
