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. The course (lectures, exercises and exam) is held in English language. All slide sets and exercise sheets are available in English and in German language. The content of the English and German slide sets and exercise sheets is identical. The slide sets are the basis for the third edition of the German-language book Betriebssysteme kompakt, which was published in June 2022 by Springer Vieweg. ISBN: 978-3-662-64717-2 Also, a bilingual (English-German) edition exists - Operating Systems / Betriebssysteme, which was published in July 2023 (second edition) by Springer Vieweg. ISBN: 978-3-658-42229-5

| Instructions for Windows Subsystem for Linux v2 (WSL2) | A very well understandable and detailed German-language guide to installing Linux with WSL2 by David Hundeshagen |
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.
