Linux操作系统是由 Linus Torvalds 于 1991 年开发的。 Linux 操作系统以其开源支持和高灵活性而著称。多年来，Linux OS 因其低依赖性、高模块化和广泛分布而在行业中广受欢迎。 Linux 操作系统用于其内核功能，其架构也由两层组成，称为内核层和用户层。
Solaris操作系统是由 Sun Microsystems 于 1992 年开发的。 Solaris 操作系统最初是作为开源软件发布的，但在 Oracle 收购 Sun Microsystems 并将其扩展为 Oracle Solaris 之后，它才作为许可发布。 Oracle Solaris 用于服务管理工具，因为它易于更新并提供最佳性能。
