1. Rationale: Operating system is the software that makes a computers system

operational. It is an interface between the human and machine. It drives all the
hardware parts of the computer and is the first piece of software to run on the machine
when the system boots.
OS is a core technology subject, the knowledge of which is mandatory for every user.
If familiarizes a learner with the OS concepts, structure internal functionality and
services and resource sharing. It will help a learner with OS design concepts. This
subject will give a learner an overview of UNIX / LINUX OS.
2. Competency:
