hi


I looking for a anatomy of a linux system. I want to show it to my students.
Is there a picture of anatomy of linux system with high quality resolution? I want to print it.thanks in advance.

Are you looking for the anatomy of the Linux file system? what exactly are you looking for?

I'm looking for picture of anatomy of linux systems. i found a picture of a anatomy of linux systems but it wasn't high quality.

Can you post a link to the picture you already found? The description "anatomy of a Linux system" isn't much information to go on.

The gnu bone is connected to the bash bone...

Ok, that was pathetic.

What exactly is it you're looking for? "Anatomy of a Linux system" can mean a lot of things.

Part of the difficulty in answering this question comes from the breadth of it... which is also going to be an issue when you try to explain it to your students. A Linux system has a lot of parts and subsystems; far too many to express as a single reasonable picture. {Peanuts (comic strip): "Explain World War II. Use both sides of paper if necessary..."}

You could focus on the architecture of the kernel, but the kernel is only a tiny part of the system. The software system that we consider ourselves to be "using" on a daily basis is composed of a set of very loosely-coupled subsystems ... unlike the Microsoft Windows system which is very tightly joined throughout.

You might structure your "anatomy" talk around the idea of showing the various parts that are active when you're running a typical interactive graphical Linux session, surfing the Internet, printing things out, saving them as files. All of those salient parts really "orbit around" the Linux kernel proper, but from the user's point of view they are "Linux," and that perspective is certainly a valid one.

There are many "valid perspectives," so the first thought-question will be to pick one for your presentation.

Don't know if this is any use, but it's interesting:

Definately cool map but the jump from the map to the source could be a bit too abrupt. Using "Understanding the Linux Kernel" as reference could help.

Hiya,

Maybe you could shoot something like this at your students as there is a bunch of interesting information in a basic image in this:

My 2 cents.

Or if you want a little bit more complicated:
