 The Latest Open Source Operating System (OS)

Meaning of open source OS

Open source is an approach to the design, development, and distribution of software,

offering practical accessibility to a software's source code. Some consider open source as
one of various possible design approaches, while others consider it a critical strategic
element of their operations. An operating system is an interface between hardware and
user; an OS is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the
sharing of the resources of the computer. As a host, one of the purposes of an operating
system is to handle the details of the operation of the hardware.

Example of open sources OS

• Kubuntu Linux

Kubuntu is an official derivative of using the graphical environment instead of

GNOME.It is part of the Ubuntu project and uses the same underlying system.

• Fedora Linux

A Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source
software. Fedora is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. It is
built by people across the globe who work together as a community. The Fedora
Project is open and anyone is welcomed to join.
 The Latest Open Sources Application Software

Meaning of open sources application software

Open sources application software is developed and maintained by the open source
community, rather than a software company. Open source application software is whose
source code is published and made available to the public, enabling anyone to copy,
modify and redistribute the source code without paying royalties or fees.

Example of open source application software

• Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla
Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation. Firefox had 22.51% of the
recorded usage share of web browsers as of June 2009, making it the second most
popular browser in terms of current use worldwide, after Internet Explorer

• Word prosesing

Using a computer to create, edit, and print documents. Of all computer applications,
word processing is the most common. To perform word processing, you need a
computer, a special program called a word processor, and a printer. A word processor
enables you to create a document, store it electronically on a disk, display it on a
screen, modify it by entering commands and characters from the keyboard, and print
it on a printer.

Software (Adobe Photoshop CS3and Adobe Photoshop CS4)

There is a lot of latest software in the world right now. I will tell you about The brand
new Adobe Photoshop CS4. First of all, the bridge in the brand new Adobe Photoshop
CS4 is much more powerful than the bridge in the old Adobe Photoshop CS3. The bridge
is much faster to open as well as processing thumbnails. The other improvement is that in
the Adobe Photoshop CS4, there are many additions and corrections have been made. For
example, in the liquefy filter, you will find out the maximum brush size now is 1500. If
compared with the old Adobe Photoshop CS3 that only able to brush until 600, it is really
big improvement.
 Pervasive Computing

Meaning of pervasive computing

The trend towards an information environment in which users have access to ICTs
throughout the environment. This trend is particularly associated with the growth of
wireless technologies that allow users to access online information and services remotely
and synchronise data between different computers.

Example of pervasive computing

• Wireless
Wireless is an old-fashioned term for a radio transceiver (a mixed receiver and transmitter
device), referring to its use in wireless telegraphy early on, or for a radio receiver.

• Bluetooth

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs).

Bluetooth lets these devices communicate with each other when they are in range.
 Conclusion

can save money and quick easy to use. Above and beyond this, the widespread use of
open source software holds advantages for the U.S. economy as a whole, and it is for this
reason that a
