I would like to know the following details about Unix:-

•Structure: design of the operating system
oSystem structure – simple, layered, microkernel etc…
oKernel type – monolithic, microkernel, etc…
oUser Interface – CLI, GUI, etc…
•Process: type and management of supported process
oProcess Management – Single task, multitasks etc…
oType of process – process, thread, etc…
oProcess scheduling – round robin, FIFO, multiple queue, etc…
oAPI – Posix, Win32, etc…
•Memory: information about main and virtual memory
oAllocation: fixed, segmentation, paging etc…
oPage replacement: FIFO, LRU, etc…
oAddressing

Make it as simple as possible please. I just want the technical terms and uses and such. The commands and such are not necessary. Thank you for your time.

If you can name it there is probably a UNIX variant or bolt-on that supports it.
