It is important to understand the differences between Linux and other
|
|
operating systems, such as MS-DOS, OS/2, and other implementations of UNIX
|
|
for the personal computer. First of all, it should be made clear that Linux
|
|
will coexist happily with other operating systems on the same machine: that is, you
|
|
can run MS-DOS and OS/2 along with Linux on the same system without problems.
|
|
There are even ways to interact between the various operating systems, as
|
|
we'll see.
