Linux (often pronounced LIH-nuhks with a short “i”) is a UNIX-like operating system that was
designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system comparable
to traditional and usually more expensive UNIX systems. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient
and fast-performing system. Linux is a remarkably complete operating system, including a
graphical user interface, an X Window System, TCP/IP, the Emacs editor, and other components
usually found in a comprehensive UNIX system. Linux is publicly open and extendible by
contributors. Because it conforms to the Portable Operating System Interface standard user and
programming interfaces, developers can write programs that can be ported to other operating
systems.
A language and the location in which it is used. All languages in Picture Perfect are defined in
terms of locale. Each language has a unique locale identifier. Picture Perfect uses the locale
identifiers defined by AIX. Refer to the Operator’s form for a list of locale identifiers.
The procedure used by operators to identify themselves to the system. To use the system, an
operator must “log on” with a Login ID and Password. The Login ID is associated with a
Permissions level that defines the functions an operator can perform. A Password provides
secondary validation for that operator.
A security procedure that protects the system from unauthorized use. When an operator logs off,
the system displays the Login screen and requires the next operator to log on.
