UVOD Cilj ovog završnog rada „Linux i njegove distribucije“ je analizirati operacijski sustav Linux. Redom će se objasniti ključni pojmovi kao što su operacijski sustav ili kernel. Analizirati će se povijest Linuxa kroz verzije, detaljno definirati svaku od sastavnica operacijskog sustava (kernel, desktop enviroment, shell i sl.) te će se prikazati modeli upotrebe samog Linuxa. Nadalje, definirati će se pojam distribucije te će se detaljno obrazložiti upotreba i karakteristike nekih od najpopularnijih distribucija. Naposlijetku, biti će prikazani konkurentski operacijski sustavi te njihova usporedba s Linuxom. S obzirom na tematiku završnog rada, valja naglasiti da će brojni korišteni pojmovi biti na engleskom jeziku ili skraćenice istih, s obzirom da nemaju zadovoljavajući prijevod na hrvatskom jeziku. Pojmovi koje je moguće prevesti na hrvatski jezik, biti će naglašeni u fusnotama rada te će biti naglašeno hoće li se u ostatku rada koristiti hrvatski ili engleski izraz za navedeni pojam. Također, biti će korišteni statistički podaci iz više izvora, pri čemu je većini naglašen datum istraživanja. Za podatke kojima nije naglašen datum, biti će korišten vremenski termin rujan 2020. godine. 1 2. OSNOVNO O OPERACIJSKOM SUSTAVU LINUX Pojam Linux ima dva različita značenja. U užem, tehnički preciznijem smislu, Linux se odnosi na široko korištenu, (eng. free and open source) jezgru1 operacijskog sustava.

    Schon mal dran gedacht, Linux auszuprobieren? Eine Einführung in das Betriebssystem Linux und seine Distributionen von Günther Schmidt-Falck Das Magazin AUSWEGE wird nun schon seit 2010 mit Hilfe des Computer-Betriebs- system Linux erstellt: Texte layouten, Grafiken und Fotos bearbeiten, Webseiten ge- stalten, Audio schneiden - alles mit freier, unabhängiger Software einer weltweiten Entwicklergemeinde.

    Linux Fundamentals Paul Cobbaut Linux Fundamentals Paul Cobbaut Publication date 2015-05-24 CEST Abstract This book is meant to be used in an instructor-led training. For self-study, the intent is to read this book next to a working Linux computer so you can immediately do every subject, practicing each command. This book is aimed at novice Linux system administrators (and might be interesting and useful for home users that want to know a bit more about their Linux system). However, this book is not meant as an introduction to Linux desktop applications like text editors, browsers, mail clients, multimedia or office applications.
