PRESENTATION:
The purpose of an operating system is to provide an operating environment in which users can perform their tasks in an adequate and effective way. the figure of an administrator who knows in depth both the operating system and the needs of the users is mandatory to make it possible. It is a doubly complicated task because it requires both advanced technical knowledge of the machine and good skills for interpersonal communication.
This subject will introduce the conceptual bases and techniques applied to manage and get performance from the computer systems in order to meet the needs of its users.
