Study Notes
Operating System Fundamentals
- The Kernel is the core component of a PC operating system, managing hardware resources and providing services to applications.
User Interfaces
- A Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows interaction with a system using graphical icons, menus, and windows.
Network Devices
- Network devices are typically accessed through a Command-Line Interface (CLI) instead of a GUI because CLI provides more flexibility, precision, and speed for complex network configurations and troubleshooting.
Purpose of an Operating System
- The primary purpose of a PC operating system is to manage hardware resources, allocate system resources, and provide common services to applications.
Network Management
- A Console in network management is a central location from which network administrators can monitor, configure, and troubleshoot network devices, providing a unified view of the network infrastructure.
