Could Anyone Tell Me About The Advantages Of UNIX?

There is not only a single advantage of the UNIX operating system, there is a long list. The UNIX operating system is multi-tasking that means that the multiple programs can run at one time. The other main advantage of the UNIX is that it is multi-user that allows more than a single user to work at any given time. This is accomplished simply by sharing the processing time among all users and utilizing distributed computing systems.

The UNIX is very safe; preventing one program from accessing the memory or the storage space allocated to another, and it also enables the factor of protection, requiring users to have the permission to perform certain functions, i.e. accessing a directory, file, or disk drive etc. The other biggest advantage of the UNIX is that it is a programmable operating system. The standard UNIX commands can be combined in an endless variety of ways just to achieve so many different tasks. This facility offers the user an enormous amount of power, authority and flexibility. There is Built-in TCP/IP networking properties in the UNIX, for communications across all forms of the networks, and between all forms of the computers. Dissimilar to other vendors, UNIX systems never force you to use the proprietary communication protocols to have computers speak to each other (i.e., open systems).
