Remote Linux

Get the Linux operation system on your mobile device! The application may be a perfect tool for learning how to use Unix command line and standard commands. You may reset the system to the initial state at any moment and do what you want, even remove all files.

Please note the following limitations of the application:
1. Internet connection is required to start Linux.
2. It's absolutely impossible to download or install any binary or any other file via network and Internet.
3. All commands are build-in to the application and you can use only predefined functionality of the application.

======================================

Linux/Unix operating systems are widely used in servers, workstations, and mobile devices. The Unix environment and the client–server program model were essential elements in the development of the Internet and the reshaping of computing as centered in networks rather than in individual computers.

Originally, Unix was meant to be a programmer's workbench more than to be used to run application software. The system grew larger as the operating system started spreading in the academic circle, as users added their own tools to the system and shared them with colleagues.

Both Unix and the C programming language were developed by ATT and distributed to government and academic institutions. They port Unix to a wider variety of machine families than any other operating system. As a result, Unix became synonymous with open systems.

Unix was designed to be portable, multi-tasking and multi-user in a time-sharing configuration. Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: the use of plain text for storing data; a hierarchical file system; treating devices and certain types of inter-process communication (IPC) as files; and the use of a large number of software tools, small programs that can be strung together through a command line interpreter using pipes, as opposed to using a single monolithic program that includes all of the same functionality. These concepts are collectively known as the Unix philosophy. Kernighan and Rob Pike summarize this in The Unix Programming Environment as "the idea that the power of a system comes more from the relationships among programs than from the programs themselves."

Under Unix, the operating system consists of many utilities along with the master control program, the kernel. The kernel provides services to start and stop programs, handles the file system and other common "low level" tasks that most programs share, and schedules access to avoid conflicts when programs try to access the same resource or device simultaneously. To mediate such access, the kernel has special rights, reflected in the division between user-space and kernel-space.
