The main task of an operating system is the controlling, management and distribution of resources of a computer system to the users. Resources are CPUs, main memory, files, input/output devices, network services, and in general all resources, which are connected to the computer system. In addition, an operating system provides the user interface for controlling the system as well as protection mechanisms, tools, libraries and development tools. The objective of this course is to discuss the concepts, which are implemented by classic and modern operating systems.

This documentation is not sufficient to solve all practical exercises of the exercise sheets, but it may assist you with your first steps in Linux system administration and shell programming. The documentation itself is not relevant for the exam but the practical exercises of the exercise sheets are relevant for the exam.

As auxiliary material, the students were allowed to use a self prepared, single sided DIN-A4 sheet in the exam. Only handwritten originals were allowed, but no copies. This page contains a selection of the sheets. Some of them are true works of art.
