The key takeaways are that it is important for network administrators to understand popular network operating systems and how to get diverse systems to interoperate. Different operating systems may use the same terms differently.

The main types of network operating systems discussed are Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 Server, and Linux distributions like Red Hat Linux, Linux Mandrake, and Debian GNU/Linux.

The main differences between Windows NT and Windows 2000 domains are that Windows NT used the User Manager for Domains tool while Windows 2000 used Active Directory. Windows NT also required a primary domain controller while Windows 2000 domains functioned differently.

It is important to know the basics

about popular NOS families. Many networks now include more than one server type, and knowing how to get these diverse systems to interoperate is an important skill for a network administrator. Operating systems on the network have their own language. Different NOS vendors use the same terms in different ways.

Windows server-based networks

that run Windows NT Server or Windows 2000 Server are based on the concept of the domain. A domain is a group of computers and users that serves as a boundary of administrative authority. Windows NT domains and Windows 2000 domains, although similar in function, interact with one another differently.

The Domain Structure of

Windows NT was entirely different from the Domain Structure in Windows 2000. Instead of Active Directory, Windows NT provides an administrative tool called the User Manager for Domains. It is accessed from the domain controller and is used to create, manage, and remove domain user accounts.

Each NT domain requires one Primary Domain Controller

(PDC). This is a "master" server that contains the Security Accounts Management Database (SAM). A domain can also have one or more Backup Domain Controllers (BDCs), each of which contains a read-only copy of the SAM. The SAM is what controls the authentication process when a user logs onto the domain.

The offline folders feature enables users

to copy and synchronize documents from the network to the local system so that they can be accessed when the computer is not connected to the network. The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) enables users to print to a URL and manage printers through a web browser interface. Built-in disk defragmenters and other tools and utilities help users maintain and manage the operating system. It supports Kerberos security (developing standard for authenticating network users), and the features of a Windows 2000 domain as an Active Directory client.

XP also offers: More extensive hardware and driver support. More user-friendly file-sharing and network configuration for setting up home networks. Enhanced wireless network features Increased security Remote Desktop control Overall improvements to the GUI, including the welcome screen additions, start menu improvements. Enhanced multimedia support for digital video, audio, and pictures.

The Windows 2000 family of operating systems includes: Windows 2000 Professional Windows 2000 Server Windows 2000 Advanced Server The specific needs of the network will determine the best version of Windows 2000 for the installation.

The Windows 2003 family of operating systems includes: Standard Edition Enterprise Edition Datacenter Edition Web Edition Small Business Server Edition
2003 Server release is the available support for 64-bit systems in order to compete in the enterprise level server arena.

Linux is an operating system similar to UNIX. It runs on

many different computers and was first released in 1991. Linux is portable, which means versions can be found running on name brand or clone PCs. Linux offers many features adopted from other versions of UNIX.

The UNIX NOS was developed

in 1969, and it has evolved into many varieties. The source code is opened, that is, available at no cost to anyone who wants to modify it. It is written in C programming language so businesses, academic institutions, and even individuals can develop their own versions. There are hundreds of different versions of UNIX.

Linux is sometimes referred to as "UNIX Lite", and it is

designed to run on Intel-compatible PCs. However, Linux will run on other machines as well. Linux brings the advantages of UNIX to home and small business computers. The following are a few of the most popular types: Red Hat Linux Linux Mandrake Caldera eDesktop and eServer Debian GNU/Linux Corel Linux Turbo Linux

Windows clients can access

Linux servers without client software if the UNIX servers run Samba, which is a program that uses the Server Message Block (SMB) application layer protocol. Windows computers use SMB for file access across the network. Samba permits them to see the Linux file system.

The X Window System is

what comprises the Linux GUI environment. Corels WordPerfect and Sun StarOffice are the top two office suites capable of running on Linux. There also single packages rather than full office suits that come shipped with Linux and some are installed by default during the installation process. Some examples of these are LyX and AbiWord.

Some of the popular audio

and visual programs available for Linux include tools for viewing and editing graphics like XV and GIMP.

A popular use of a Linux system is a web server. Web server software uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol

(HTTP) to deliver files to users that request them, using a web browser from their workstation. A Mail Server is a system that is configured with the proper programs and services that enable handling the exchange of e-mail sent from one client to another. The Linux operating system provides file server either in a Linux environment or in a cross-platform environment consisting of Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, or OS/2 workstation.

There are some programs and

software that are essential to add to a Linux system regardless of whether it is configured as a workstation or a server. Text editors are essential for performing any type of maintenance tasks that a user or an administrator may need to do. Some examples of text editors available in Linux are vi, jed, pico, or Emacs.

Programming tools are helpful Linux servers as well to

specific users at workstations if they are programmers. These programming tools are also referred to as compilers or interpreters. A complier converts the program source code, which is written by the programmer into binary form the computer can read. Common scripting languages include Javascript, Python, and Perl. Every Linux system relies on a library called the C library (libc). Linux systems rely on the C library for the routines that are necessary for C programs to run in Linux.

When

installing a package, the first step should be to always check and make sure that the operating system supports the package. Generally, any Linux software and package can be installed on any UNIX-like operating system. Check CPU requirements, library requirements, and development tools.
