Introduction

Open source software is computer software that is available in source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under an open source license that permit users to study.

Hardware is the part of a computer that does most of the data processing; "the CPU and the memory form the central part of a computer to which the peripherals are attached".

Software is a collection of computer programs and related data that provides the instructions for telling computer what to do and how to do it.

2.0 The Latest Open Source Operating System (OS) 2.1 Meaning of open source OS

Open source operating system is a set of programs that manage computer hardware resources and provide common services for application software. The operating system is the most important type of system software in a computer system. A user cannot run an application program on the computer without an operating system, unless the application program is self booting.

2.2 Examples of open source OS Example 1 : linux

Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the modal of free and open sorce software development and distribution. Date..

-multitasking : several programs running at the same time. -multiuser : several users on the same machine at the same time -multiplatform : runs on many different CPUs not just Intel.

Example 2: ubuntu
Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on the debian linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software, using its own desktop enviroment.

3.0The Latest Open Souce Application Software 3.1 meaning of open source application software.

Open source application software is computer software that is available in source code form for which the source code and certain other right normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that permits users to study.

3.2 Example of open source application software. Example 1: Open office

5.0 Meaning of pervasive computing

Pervasive computing is the idea that technology is moving beyond the personal computer to everyday devices with embedded technology and connectivity as computing devices become progressively smaller and more powerful. Also called ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing is the result of computer technology advancing at exponential speeds a trend toward all man-made and some natural products having hardware and software.
