... You can boot Linux either from a floppy or from the hard disk. ... When booting Linux from a floppy disk, the boot sector contains code that just reads the first few hundred blocks (depending on the actual kernel size, of course) to a predetermined place in memory. On a Linux boot floppy, there is no filesystem, the kernel is just stored in consecutive sectors, since this simplifies the boot process. ... For example, when I boot, I it looks like this: љ љ љ љ LILO boot: Loading linux. ...

. An operating system is the program that controls all the other parts of a computer system - both the hardware and the software. Most importantly, it allows you to make use of the facilities provided by the system. Every computer has an operating system. The UNIX operating system has three important features; a kernel, the shell and a filesystem. The Kernel . The Shell . UNIX file system . More about the UNIX operating system .

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... For whatever reason, there are people that hate NFS (Network File System). ... Mark has claimed, and it has been widely repeated, that it is impossible to provide concurrent access to mbox-format files with IMAP. ... In the case of IMAP though, the answers being offered about mbx over NFS or about concurrent access to mbox files are not the rare kind of answers. ... The way the most common IMAP server implementations work is that you connect to a master IMAP server process, and then you authenticate...

... It ran on a PDP-9 computer with a single-user operating system and modest hardware resources. It could only process WSRT continuum data. ... In 1976, GIPSY also ran on a CDC Cyber, with a multi-user operating system. To GIPSY's processing capabilities, WSRT line data reduction facilities were added. ... An M70E image processing computer, connected to the PDP 11/70, provided advanced image processing and display facilities. ... As a result, GIPSY had to be adapted to the operating system VMS. ...

The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ... I have (somewhat arbitrarily) decided to use Python for this course, because it seems to be gaining popularity fast for astronomical data handling, and because some of you will have encountered it at the ATNF course. ... We've put Python (plus all relevant libraries) on the Stromlo Linux computers moron and maggot. ... Now log in to moron (or maggot). ...

... INSTITUTE OF RADIOENGINEERING AND ELECTRONICS . ... The use of such a division is shown to open wide possibilities for application of chaos in modern communication systems and computer networks. Novel quality of the systems and networks can be achieved by means of not only designing new technological hardware, but also by modification of certain equipment modules and corresponding software. Examples of using chaotic encoding for computer networks are considered. ...

Computers become more and more popular nowadays. That means that the amount of people who are able to work with computer programmes and play computer games has increased. In many cases computer games are the only thing that a person is accustomed to. ... As a result of this epidemic "homo playing" may put on the isoreality helmet which makes a person, crazy about games, forget about food, slumber and all other components of real life: "homo playing" becomes isolated from community. ...

... The ESO-MIDAS system is built along lines which should allow easy integration of complex analysis algorithms as well as allowing greater flexibility in interactive use and in the creation of user specific procedures from the basic building blocks. The first design proposal for ESO-MIDAS, made late 1980, used some ideas from the UK STARLINK project for the software interface definitions. ... It consists of the following three parts, the monitor, the applications, and the interfaces. ...

... The pinhole simulation program is a computationally and memory intensive task. ... A parallel version was developed instead, to enable distributed processing on a cluster of workstations.
