Answers
| 1. | Reliability, scalability, performance, interoperability |
| 2. | Two or more CPUs can be used to simultaneously process a single instruction. |
| 3. | Servers in the domain share the same database of users and security-access levels. |
| 4. | Configuration changes often require the server to be rebooted. |
| 5. | Windows Server 2003 builds upon the features of Windows2000 Server and offers enhanced performance and reliability. |
| 6. | True |
| 7. | Client-server |
| 8. | Directory services |

| 12. | Unix is the most reliable, stable, and fastest NOS. |
| 13. | Both can be difficult to learn because of the vast number of commands. |
| 14. | Besides the effort involved in learning commands, there is very limited support for Linux. |
| 15. | It has characteristics similar and in some cases, equal to Unix. And it is free. |
