A multi-user operating system is a computer operating system (OS) that allows multiple users on different computers or terminals to access a single system with one OS on it. These programs are often quite complicated and must be able to properly manage the necessary tasks required by the different users connected to it.
A multi-user system, by definition, supports concurrent processing of multiple tasks (once known as time-sharing) or true parallel processing if it has multiple CPUs. While batch processing systems often ran jobs for serveral users concurrently, the term multi-user typically implies interactive access. Before Ethernet networks were commonplace, multi-user systems were accessed from a terminal (e.g. a vt100) connected via a serial line (typically RS-232). This arrangement was eventually superseded by networked personal computers, perhaps sharing files on a file server.
