2.0 DESCRIPTION

The operating system is an essential part of a computer system. Similarly that the need to
understand and appreciate the operating system is also indispensable to the computer science
students. Operating systems should be studied for the reason of their existence: what they do,
how they did it, and how they are designed and constructed.
