good material, would like to refer to distributed Systems concepts and design by Coulouris, Dollimore And Kindberg. though a litle outdated to use your material in the broader context.

Does my computer have an operating system? I can't find it anywhere on the hard drive.

@qwertyfshag : Does your computer weigh more when it's turned on than when it's off? If it doesn't, maybe it doesn't have an operating system because nothing is loaded in the memory.

@swap1712 Epic.

@qwertyfshag If it goes past the BIOS splash screen, it probably has an operating system. It doesn't have to be on the hard drive though... If you use Windows, it's in X:\Windows (where X is the partition you installed Windows on. Typically C), if you use Linux, it's all around ya.
