System Proposal Linux has long been one of many operating systems that have been out to prove its worth in all types of environment. It is currently being considered for enterprise network purposes as well as data centers where it implies servers, workstations and any mainframes as needed. Choosing what operating system to use, whether it is open source or not, can be difficult, though. This paper projects the advantages and concerns of choosing an open source solution like Linux as administrators

foundation for future lab work. The first VM will serve as a router, bridging the newly formed virtual LAN to the network connected to the rest of the world. In my case I chose to use PFSense based on its simple configuration. Next I deployed a Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7 server to act as the base on which my Wiki will run. I then deployed a Windows 7 client to act as remote manager of the other VMs. Lastly, I deployed an Opsview Atom VM to serve as my network’s monitoring solution. I encountered
three different Linux vendors in regards to their specific server and workstation OS products they offer in the workplace. In addition, I will discuss the price for each vendor, specifications, performance, and reliability. The three vendors I would like to discuss are Arch Linux, Red Hat Enterprise, and Ubuntu. Linux is an operating system that has several distros to choose from. Linux allows the user more control of the system and greater flexibility. As an open operating system, Linux is developed
Linux is an operating system developed by Linus Benedicts Torvalds. The operation system is the key of communication between the software and the hardware. Linux is a free and open-source software1 built around the Linux kernel. The first event leading to its creation is the conception of the UNIX operating system implemented by Ken Thomson and Dennis Ritchie in 1969 and first released in 1970. They rewrote it to make it portable and it became widely adopted, copied and modified by academic institutions
(HP-UNIX, SUN Solaris, Digital UNIX) solutions - Operating System (OS etc.) Linux. Today the pace of market development of this system compared to other well-known operating systems is the most intense (Stutz 2004). The strength of the Linux operating system is its flexibility: The system covers the entire range of applications - from desktop PC to multiprocessor servers and super clusters. Currently, multi-stable Linux operating system running on the platforms PC, Alpha, PowerPC, Macintosh, SGI
The Pros and Cons of Linux versus Windows XP This may be the perfect time to move over to Linux. Windows XP was officially retired as of April 8, 2014. Although we can continue using Windows XP, the two most important factors to consider are 1) there will no longer be security patches released by Microsoft; and 2) they are no longer supporting this product. Additionally, if our XP machines are more than six years old, which we suspect they are, chances are they won 't support the newer Windows releases
1. Identify and explain specific things that Halamka needs to implement to truly improve CareGroup’s change management process in addition to the actions already listed in lessons #5 and #7. (Hint: the actions listed in those two lessons are NOT sufficient to achieve good change management – other things discussed in the assigned readings and in COBIT are also required). The events that unfolded at CareGroup in late 2002 highlighted the importance of proper monitoring and change management procedures—as
This report is going to talk about history of operating system, current development of the Open Source operating system (we are taking Linux operating system) and Windows operating system, evolving of operating system and comparison between Open Source and Proprietary System such as Windows. Besides that, we will take a deep look on how old operating system is being replaced by modern operating system in this fast developed technology era on evolving of operating system part. Here we will introduce
concerns. For example, the Mac OS X would be perfect for the graphic design department, but would not work out well in the engineering department, which is better suited for Windows or Linux. The major operating systems to choose from are Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh OS X and various distributions of Linux. For Linux, we will use RedHat/Fedora and Ubuntu as an example. Microsoft Windows Used in approximately 90 percent of computers worldwide, Microsoft Windows is indeed popular. It originated
Compare & Contrast Linux Christopher Varano Professor: Patricia Entesari April 12, 2014 Introduction Linux is a popular and widely used operating system and provides several options for use within business organizations as both a server and a workstation platform. Due to the open-source nature of the operating system there are various organizations who make available a server and a workstation platform along with their own customizations as part of a specific distribution
started from my school days and gift of a personal computer by my parents further boosted my quest to learn and understand both hardware and software. By enrolling in ‘Jetking’ Institute, I got acquainted with hardware and operating systems such as Red Hat Linux, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. On completion of high school, I decided that computer science was the most suitable career option. Progressing to Undergraduate studies in Computer Engineering and further gaining professional exposure as a
apps) on a cluster of commodity Intel PCs. The Linux OS is well-suited to small- to medium-sized operations, and is increasingly being used in large enterprises that would have previously considered Unix the only option. It has taken hold in Internet and e-commerce businesses, making the decision on whether to use Unix or Linux not as cut-and-dried as it may seem. A few years ago, the decision on whether to implement Unix or Linux was a no-brainer. Linux was an interesting academic project, but most

For the very start of this story about Linux we would like to define, in simple lines, what would be the Linux and its properties. Linux is an operating system, much like any other operating system but with a dose of uniqueness, that is based on the model of custom and open source free software research and development as well as the flexible movement on the market. This system was meant to be free from the first time it was made and published. It happened to be that the Intel x86-based pc’s were
free nature of Linux make it an ideal operating system. However to fully understand why Linux is an ideal operating system analysis of its strengths are needed. The philosophy of freedom is an integral part of the Linux operating system. That must be noted since the belief that Linux should be free as in freedom has been around since its beginnings in 1991(Torvalds & Diamond IX). For better understanding one must pay attention to how the computing community was at the time when Linux was being developed
It all began in 1991, during the time of monumental computing development. DOS had been bought from a Seattle hacker by Bill Gates, for a sum of $50,000 – a small price for an operating system that had managed sneak its way across the globe due to a clever marketing strategy. Apple’s OS and UNIX were both available, though the cost of running either was far greater than that of running DOS. Enter MINIX, an operating system developed from the ground up by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, a college professor.
Windows NT and Linux: An inside look and comparison! One of the many challenges of a corporation, small business or educational institution is how to network the people within and outside the organization. Linux and Windows NT are two network operating systems that suit this purpose well, each having its respective advantages and disadvantages. One organization (Nichols College), began utilizing each operating system for two very different purposes. I will explain the function of the two operating
Additionally, recent research shows a huge year over year increase in the number of Android specific malware attacks [1,3]. It is relatively straightforward to investigate such attacks when they occur on mature operating system platforms such as Windows and Linux. However, due to the immaturity of Android memory image forensics, it is relatively problematic and time consuming to conduct such investigations on Android systems. In this research, we take advantage of recent advances in Android memory forensics

Since Linux and the major versions of Unix are similar, code developed on one platform usually can be ported to another. They also can use the same tools, such as the GNU tools from the Free Software Foundation. ("Geeks") The GNU/Linux operating system will likely continue to grow in popularity throughout the decade initially with hackers and then with consumers. Works
