Computers can store information on several different types of physical media. Magnetic tape, magnetic disk and optical disk are the most common media. Each of these media has its own characteristics and physical organisation. For convenience use of the computer system, the operating system provides a uniform logical view of information storage. The operating system abstracts from the physical properties of its storage devices to define a logical storage unit, the file.

  • What Good Is a Linux Client?
    Preparing Today for Linux® Tomorrow What Good is a Linux Client? A Linux White Paper Preface Anyone who has followed the progress of Linux the past few years has noted the surprising gains that Linux has made in server operating system market share and “mindshare” against the entrenched opposition, notably Microsoft® Windows NT®, Novell Netware and various varieties of UNIX®. A complete Linux network, of course, would require Linux clients (networked PCs or terminals) as well. Therefore, an important question is, “Is Linux a viable desktop operating system for general business use?” or must we continue to be confined to the Windows world for our non-server needs? And what about laptop support, or a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) user or home user, who does not need a network server? Is there a place for Linux in a stand-alone environment? These are some of the questions this paper addresses. I must confess that until recently I was merely a bystander watching with curiosity from the sidelines—without any real involvement— the progress Linux has made. So writing this paper not only gave me the excuse to join in on the action, but it also provides you with the perspective of a Linux “newbie” who is attempting to find the applications and utilities needed to create a working system. The conventional wisdom so far is that Linux is not “ready for prime time” as anything but a network operating system. We shall test this notion to see if I can find commercial, shareware and/or freeware programs for Linux to replace the existing applications I currently use with Windows.

There is a Windows port called Kegs32 [http://www.emaculation.com/kegs32.htm]. The Windows port is somewhat difficult to setup. Installing the GS/OS operating system and figuring out disk images are particularly tricky tasks.
