A network operating system (NOS) is an OS that is design to turn on a network server dedicated to providing various services to other computers on the network. The “other” computers are called client computer, and each computer that connects to a network server must be a specific service. If you are connecting to a server to store and retrieve files, your computer must have the client software that follows it to connect to that server for that purpose. Future, the specific client software needed varies based on the NOS running on the server.
All of today’s desktop operating system included support for some basic services, such as files and print sharing, over a network. But desktop operating system terms are best reserved for the humdrum work of the average business of home user.
