"Windows Vista is a line of operating
systems developed by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and
business desktops, laptops, Tablet PCs, and media center PCs. Prior to its
announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename Longhorn.
Development was completed on November 8, 2006; over the following three months
it was released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers,
business customers, and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released
worldwide, and was made available for purchase and download from Microsoft's
website. The release of Windows Vista came more than five years after the
introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, the longest time span between
successive releases of Microsoft Windows.
Windows Vista contains many changes and new features, including an updated
graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved
searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and
redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to
increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using
peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and digital media between
computers and devices. Windows Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework,
which aims to make it significantly easier for software developers to write
applications than with the traditional Windows API." [Wikipedia] |

"Windows XP is the name of a line of operating systems developed by
Microsoft for use on general-purpose computer systems, including home
and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. The
letters "XP" stand for experience.[1] Codenamed Whistler during its
development, Windows XP is the successor to both Windows 2000 and
Windows Me, and is the first consumer-oriented operating system produced
by Microsoft to be built on the Windows NT kernel and architecture.
Windows XP was first released on October 25, 2001, and as of 2006
continues to be the most recent consumer version of Microsoft Windows
available, with over 400 million copies in use, according to an estimate
by an IDC analyst. The
most common editions of the operating system are Windows XP Home
Edition, which is targeted at home users, and Windows XP Professional,
which has additional features such as support for Windows Server domains
and dual processors, and is targeted at power users and business
clients. Windows XP Media Center Edition consists of Windows XP
Professional with new features enhancing the ability to record and watch
TV shows, watch DVDs, listen to music and more. Two separate 64-bit
versions of Windows XP were also released, Windows XP 64-bit Edition for
IA-64 (Itanium) processors and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition for
AMD64/EM64T processors." [Wikipedia]

"Linux (also known as GNU/Linux) is a computer operating system.
It is one of the most prominent examples of open source development and
free software; unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows or
Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public for
anyone to freely use, modify, and redistribute.
Initially, Linux was primarily developed and used by individual
enthusiasts on personal computers. Since then, Linux has gained the
support of major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems,
Hewlett-Packard, and Novell for use in servers and is gaining popularity
in the desktop market[1]. It is used in systems ranging from
supercomputers to mobile phones. Proponents and analysts attribute its
success to its low cost, security, reliability, and freedom from vendor
lock-in" [Wikipedia] |

"Red Hat Linux was one of the
most popular Linux distributions, assembled by Red Hat.
It is one of the "middle-aged" Linux distributions; 1.0 was released in
November 3, 1994. It is not as old as Slackware, but certainly older
than many other distributions. It was the first Linux distribution to
use RPM as its packaging format, and over time has served as the
starting point for several other distributions, such as the
desktop-oriented Mandriva Linux (originally Red Hat Linux with KDE),
Yellow Dog Linux (which started from Red Hat Linux with PowerPC
support), and ASPLinux (Red Hat Linux with better non-Latin character
support).
Since 2003, Red Hat has discontinued the Red Hat Linux line in favor of
its new Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Linux 9, the final release,
hit its official end-of-life on April 30, 2004, although the Fedora
Legacy project continues to publish updates." [Wikipedia] |

"The SUSE Linux
distribution was originally a German translation of Slackware Linux. In
mid-1992, Softlanding Linux System (SLS) was founded by Peter MacDonald,
and was the first comprehensive distribution to contain elements such as
X and TCP/IP. The Slackware distribution (maintained by Patrick
Volkerding) was initially based largely on SLS.
S.u.S.E was founded in late 1992 as a UNIX consulting group, which among
other things regularly released software packages that included SLS and
Slackware, and printed UNIX/Linux manuals. They released the first CD
version of SLS/Slackware in 1994, under the name S.u.S.E Linux 1.0. It
later integrated with the Jurix distribution of Florian La Roche (also
based on Slackware), to release the first really unique S.u.S.E Linux
4.2 in 1996. Over time, SUSE Linux incorporated many aspects of Red Hat
Linux (e.g., using RPMs and /etc/sysconfig)." [Wikipedia] |

"Ubuntu is a free computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux. Its name comes from the Zulu word "ubuntu", loosely translated as "humanity", describing the ubuntu philosophy: "I am who I am because of those around me," a positive aspect of community. Ubuntu's goals include providing an up-to-date, stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on usability and ease of installation. Ubuntu has been rated as the most popular Linux distribution for the desktop, claiming approximately 30% of desktop Linux installations in a survey by desktoplinux.com.
Canonical releases new versions of Ubuntu every six months and supports Ubuntu for eighteen months by submitting security fixes, patches to critical bugs and including minor updates to programs. LTS (Long Term Support) releases, which occur every two years, are supported for three years on the desktop and five years for servers.

"Unix or UNIX is a computer
operating system originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s by a group
of AT&T Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and
Douglas McIlroy. Today's Unix systems are split into various branches,
developed over time by AT&T, several other commercial vendors, as well
as several non-profit organizations, such as individuals who write code
under the GNU General Public License.
Unix was designed to be portable, multi-tasking and multi-user in a
time-sharing configuration. The Unix systems are characterized by
various concepts: plain text files, command line interpreter,
hierarchical file system, treating devices and certain types of
inter-process communication as files, etc. In software engineering, Unix
is mainly noted for its use of the C programming language and for the
Unix philosophy." [Wikipedia] |

BSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD coverage.
"Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD, sometimes called Berkeley Unix) is
the Unix derivative distributed by the University of California,
Berkeley, starting in the 1970s. The name is also used collectively for
the modern descendants of these distributions.
BSD was widely identified with the versions of Unix available for
workstation-class systems. This can be attributed to the ease with which
it could be licensed and the familiarity it found among the founders of
many technology companies during the 1980s. This familarity often came
from using similar systems—notably DEC's Ultrix and Sun's SunOS—during
their education. While BSD itself was largely superseded by the System V
Release 4 and OSF/1 systems in the 1990s (both of which incorporated BSD
code), in recent years modified open source versions of the codebase
have seen increasing use and development." [Wikipedia] |

Covering versions 8, 9 and 10.
Also covering preparation for the "Solaris 10 System Administration"
"Solaris is a computer operating system developed by Sun Microsystems.
It is certified as a version of UNIX; although Solaris proper is still
proprietary software, many core components have made their way into an
open source CDDL version, OpenSolaris.
During the 1980s, Sun's version of UNIX, SunOS, was based on BSD UNIX.
In the early 1990s, Sun replaced SunOS 4 with a version of UNIX System V
Release 4, jointly developed with AT&T. This was marked by changing the
marketing name of the operating system to Solaris 2; however, the term
"SunOS" was still used to refer to the underlying operating system
itself, and Solaris is considered to be the SunOS 5 operating system
plus a graphical user environment, ONC+, and networking and other
components." [Wikipedia] |

What is a
Tutorial/Tuition Set? |
Listed above is not even 1% of the
content in these tutorials. They really are huge!
The tutorials are packed full of code examples,
illustrations, diagrams, exercises and quizzes to aid the learning process,
making our tutorials true learning workshops.
Our Tuition sets contain many tutorials. These tutorials are
very in depth and real value for money. For example, if we say the
Java Set contained 43 tutorials, we do not mean that
one tutorial is “How to create an array in Java” another is “How to
manipulate strings in Java”. 43 tutorials means 43 huge text based
tutorials. Each tutorial has hundreds, and in some cases, thousands
of pages. So one Java tutorial may mean a 750 page tutorial on Java
Beans! An amazing electronic
tuition set, supplied on a DVD with software for viewing.
This is NOT
paper based. Please see our
FAQ
for more information.
