ux?
 It is what supports the internet and many scientific breakthrough open source and community-developed operating system for computers, servers, mainframes, mobile devices and embedded device l 
2. Describe the components of Linux operating system.
OS Kernel- it is the part of operating system which is situated near the computer hardware .It is the one that controls the central processing unit. It also controls the access to the memory and any other peripheral devices.
Graphics server- This is the one that provides a graphical sub-system which gives all the images and shapes found on the monitor of a computer.
Bootloader- This is the one which facilitates the process of starting of the a 
Desktop environment- This refers to the part that one to interact with the graphical server... There are various options of the desktop environment. They include the KDE, Unity and Cinnamon. It also includes other applications such as the files web browsers and games. And Cinnamon. 
Applications – This is the one that allows for installation of apes since the since the desktop environment can't cater for every application needed. 
OS Shell- it is also known as the command line. This is the one that that tells the operating system what the user what's to do.  

3. Important features of the Linux operating system.
Multi-user – This is an important feature of the Linux OS where by multiple users Are able to access the system resources such as the memory and to apply programs at the same time.
Multi-programming –This is a feature where by multiple application can run at the same time and the applications do not interrupt each other.
 Hierarchical File System- It is a   standard file provided by the Linux which allows the arranging of system and user files
Portable – This means that the software can work on different type's hardware in the same way. 
Security – Security is provided by allowing the user to use some characteristics such as passwords and controlled access to data and data encryption.
 Shell – This is the one that allows for interpretation of programs and send command to the operating system on what the user is intending to do...
 Open Source – This is a feature of the lune that its code is readily available bad it is based on the development of the community... 
4. Describe the architecture of the Linux So?
The architecture of the lune operating system comprises of the hardware layer, the system library, the shell, the system utility and the kernel.
The hardware layer it is the part of the Linux operating system that consists of peripheral devices.
The system library refers to special functions that are used to implement the operating system functionality.
The shells sends command to the operating system on what the user wants to do.
System utility this allows the performance of individual and specialized tasks.
The kernel is the one that it is responsible of all the activities of the operating system
5.  What are the benefits of multi-threading?
It allows for better communicant
It ensures that all program strictures are simplified
The responsive of the server improves
The resources which are used are minimized
There is improved throughput

6. Why use threads?
 They use very little resources of the operating system in which they are working. Thus they do not need new global data program codes or operating system resources
They allow faster switching of the contexts hence saving and restoring of registers
Thread are cheap to create since the only require a stack and storage for registers.
