group of independent computers and makes
them appear to be a single computer.
The development of networked computers
that could be linked and communicate with
each other, gave rise to distributed
computing.

Types of Operating System
1. Embedded
Embedded operating systems
are designed to be used in
embedded computer systems.
They are designedto operateon small
machines like PDAs with less autonomy.
They are able to operate with a
limited number of resources.
