Linux applications must be built on Linux Operating System. Is it correct?

It depends on the language that the application is written in. For example, I have written Java web applications that are deployed and run on Linux servers, but my development, testing, and build environment was MS-Windows.\n\nIt is also not too hard to write C/C++ programs that will run on any UNIX-like system, including Linux. But the actual build does have to be done on the intended operating system unless you have a so-called "cross-compiler". Such a compiler allows you to name a target system for which you are building the application.

It depends on what kkind of service you want. In general if you have the necessary software installed on the linux server or any other server whatsoever you can serve any other OS. This intermediate s/w takes care of the necessary translations.\nFor eg you can use "Samba" for file sharing b/w linux server and windows client.\nMost of the http servers around the world use Apache ususally run on linux/unix systems. \n\nMany serveres around the world run on unix/linux. THey provide many services like DNS,DHCP etc to clients running any OS.

Definitely they conflict.\n\nFor example:\n\nLinux, and Windows.\n\nLinux walks all over windows when it comes to being efficient, and secure, the speed and dependability is no doubt far more advanced.\n\nOn the other hand Windows is far more user friendly, and is geared toward the typical computer user.\n\nI really don't think anything needs to  be resolved, windows fits the needs of the basic user, and Linux fits the needs of an advanced user.

OS is an application which may be a GUI based or CBI. It helps in creating a platform between you and your computer hardware.

Building an operating system would require 2 languages.\n\nASM (Assembly) - For creating the basic input/output routines, read data, communicating with hardare\n\nC/C++ - For making use of the libraries coded in ASM to create an interactive operating system, with a UI and what not.\n\nIt is possible for an OS to be coded in pure ASM -- but the fact of the matter is it's ASM isn't really made for that - just the basics.  C/C++ are the real power horses, after they make use of the libraries made in ASM.

Linux comes will all the source code. If you want other stuff for Linux try the links below.

The big ones are Microsoft and Macintosh for the PC market, for the Unix market there are quite a few including Solaris, HP-UX, LynxOS, Various flavors of Linux such as "Red Hat" (which is open source), Concurrent and many others.\n\nTo know what you are looking for though we would need to know more about your needs.  When shopping for an OS there are a few questions you should answer first:\n\n- how much money do you want to spend?\n- what are you going to use it for?  Web Server, Application Prototyping, Real-Time systems, File Server?\n- what other systems will it have to interract with?\n- what type of user interface should it have?\n\nGood luck

If it's for a webserver, then definitely Linux. There's really no comparison.\n\nHowever, if it's for your own personal use, it's all about what you prefer. Most programs are in a Windows format, and you'll probably need to be used to Windows for whatever your job is. However, Linux is more secure and usually preferred if you're at all good with computers.

Use intel Processor. Many Operating System full support this processor. You don't need doubt about the compatibility with many OS, like Linux and other Unix.

You can use Linux operating system for free. you can also use some Linux live CDs like Knoppix or Slax.

Any one you choose will work with Linux.  It's all standards-based.

Linux is a different type of Operating System. It is unix based system and you really need to learn about it before you use it or else you will not enjoy it.\n\nLinux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. Developed under the GNU General Public License , the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone. Click on the link below to find out more about the operating system that is causing a revolution in the world of computers.\n\nhttp://www.linux.org/info/index.html

When the CPU is in kernel mode, it is assumed to be executing trusted software, and thus it can execute any instructions and reference any memory addresses (i.e., locations in memory). The kernel (which is the core of the operating system and has complete control over everything that occurs in the system) is trusted software, but all other programs are considered untrusted software. Thus, all user mode software must request use of the kernel by means of a system call in order to perform privileged instructions, such as process creation or input/output operations.\n\n    User-Mode Linux is a safe, secure way of running Linux versions and Linux processes. Run buggy software, experiment with new Linux kernels or distributions, and poke around in the internals of Linux, all without risking your main Linux setup.\n\n    User-Mode Linux gives you a virtual machine that may have more hardware and software virtual resources than your actual, physical computer. Disk storage for the virtual machine is entirely contained inside a single file on your physical machine. You can assign your virtual machine only the hardware access you want it to have. With properly limited access, nothing you do on the virtual machine can change or damage your real computer, or its software.

All I know is that people are putting linux on everything these days, why can't you just leave it on your computers?!?!?!?!?!

typically not.\nMacOS is a UNIX (based on some bsd, if I'm not mistaken), \nLinux is a unix-derivate "only".

money wise.... probably knowledge in Linux, networking especially, since most industries are now switching to Linux, and people who an set it up, are few and far between.\nprogramming. will always be a need for programmers.\n\nfun wise. building them, id say. get to build dream machines, at someone elses expense :)

Linux - mostly used by banks, accounting firms, etc.
