The advantages and disadvantages of a Unix operating system depends on the user and the type of environment Unix is running on. The most popular Unix based systems are Linux and the Mac Operating System. I find that the system is very stable and is not prone to crashes. Some of the other advantages of having a Unix base operating system include the efficiency of virtual memory, the ability to
. manage specific tasks with the use of Toolbox, management of complicated tasks, and its portability. Unix is available to work on different types of computers making it one of the most portable operating systems today. Even though Unix is very stable, it is very partial to the user. If the user is not able to use the system, it will not cooperate. Unix was created for programmers, so the average user may not be able to utilize it that well because it requires command line usage. It also requires special commands that novices may not be knowledgeable about and can be overwhelming for them.
