 WORDS

1) LAPTOP: A portable microcomputer small enough to rest on the lap.

2) OPERATING SYSTEM: The collection of software that directs a
computer's operations, controlling and scheduling the execution of other
programs, and managing storage, input/output, and communication
resources.
3) SHELL: Command interpreter.
4) MULTI- USER SYSTEM: Systems that can serve multiple users, either
through several terminals connected to the computer or through remote
sessions in a communications network.
5) MULTI-TASK: A single user running multiple tasks at the same time on a
system.
6) KERNEL: The central part of an operating system, on which the rest of
the system rests.
7) MASK: A Mechanism created to control interruptions.
8) HARDWARE: They are all the physical components that make up a
computer.
9) IP ADRESS: IP addresses are the method by which individual computers
are identified.
10)API: Set of system routines that can be used in a program to manage the
input-output of files, etc.
11)BIOS: the part of a computer that directs many basic functions of the
system, such as booting and keyboard control.
12)DATABASE: a collection of organized, related data, esp. one in
electronic form that can be gathered, analyzed, or retrieved by a
computer.
13)USB: Universal Serial Bus: a standard for connection sockets on
computers and other electronic equipment.
14)GATEWAY: Device that allows two networks, usually of different
protocol, to be connected to each other or a server to a network.
15)HOST: Is any computer that has an IP number and that can both send
and receive information over a network.
16)LAN: Group of connected computers in the same location.
17)PASSWORD: Personal secret key.
18)PROXY: Server that makes the connection to the Internet and that
serves as a gateway to client computers.
19)PROGRAM: Group of instructions used to perform certain tasks. Also
called applications.
20)RAM (Random Access Memory): Random Access Memory that keeps
data alive until the computer is disconnected.
21)ROUTERS: Network devices whose main mission is to route the
information packets they receive in the right direction to reach their
destination.
22)NETWORK CARD: Hardware that is inserted into a computer to connect
it to a network.
23)CPU: Housing where the main components of the computer are
mounted.
24)VIRUS: Computer programs designed with malicious intent, as they
become parasites capable of infecting others to include an evolved copy
of themselves.
25)WAN: Public wide area network, has no physical limits.
26)LOG- IN: Identify yourself and gain access to a computer by username
and password.
27)HTTP: Hypertext transfer protocol: a protocol for transferring hypertext
documents, the standard protocol for the World Wide Web.
28)FIREWALL: A computer system that isolates another computer from the
internet in order to prevent unauthorized access.
29)UNIX: a multiuser, multitasking computer operating system.
30)TRACERT: Command that analyzes and records the path followed by
any information sent by the Network.
31)PING: Is a computer network administration software utility used to test
the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is
available for virtually all operating systems that have networking
capability, including most embedded network administration software.
32)DHCP: stands for dynamic host configuration protocol and is a network
protocol used on IP networks where a DHCP server automatically
assigns an IP address and other information to each host on the network
so they can communicate efficiently with other endpoints.
33)LINUX: Open source and community-developed operating system for
computers, servers, mainframes, mobile devices and embedded devices.
It is supported on almost every major computer platform including x86,
ARM and SPARC, making it one of the most widely supported operating
systems.
34)SWITCH: Is a high-speed device that receives incoming data packets
and redirects them to their destination on a local area network (LAN).
35)MAN: Is a network that spans a large area, such as a town or city. It is
larger than a campus area network (CAN), but smaller than a wide area
network (WAN).
36)WINDOWS SERVER: A series of server operating systems developed
by Microsoft Corporation. Windows servers are more powerful versions
of their desktop operating system counterparts and are designed to more
efficiently handle corporate networking, Internet/intranet hosting,
databases, enterprise-scale messaging and similar functions.
37)UDP: The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of
the Internet protocol suite. The protocol was designed by David P. Reed
in 1980 and formally defined in RFC 768. With UDP, computer
applications can send messages, in this case referred to as datagrams,
to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Prior communications
are not required in order to set up communication channels or data
paths.
38)TCP: A connection-oriented communications protocol that facilitates the
exchange of messages between computing devices in a network. It is the
most common protocol in networks that use the Internet Protocol (IP);
together they are sometimes referred to as TCP/IP.
39)Network Address: The network address is a standard way of referring
to a network. For example: the network in the figure could be referred to
as "network 10.0.0.0". This is a much more convenient and descriptive
way of referring to the network than using a term like "the first network".
All hosts on the 10.0.0.0 network will have the same network bits.
40)Broadcast: Is an IP address that is used to target all systems on a
specific subnet network instead of single hosts. In other words broadcast
address allows information to be sent to all machines on a given subnet
rather than to a specific machine.
