No. Not at all like DOS, In Linux even running as root, system calls are still trapped and executed in the kernel on behalf of the user. Memory and file aches controls are in place the root user can start any number of tasks that are scheduled. Basically it's still Linux/Unix Under DOS there is no kernel and nothing is trapped. All DOS does is load the app's image from disk and jump to it's entry point. Technically DOS is not even an operating system. All the functions of an OS have to reside in the user's application. Think of DOS is a fancy boot loader. > > -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
