and through your own research, youll hear how
one of the hallmarks of UNIX is its out of the
box security. Whether this is a fact or not
depends on who and when you ask. You can read an
overview of UNIX Security here

administrators can use to monitor and enhance the

the hallmarks of the UNIX operating system is the
ability to modify the source code of the
operating system (this holds true for Linux as
well). What are two advantages to being able to
modify the source code of the operating system?
What are two disadvantages of being able to
modify the source code of UNIX? Give an example

www.pos420study.com   For use in the weekly
individual assignments, and to get a feel for
what the UNIX or Linux of today looks like, we
have been using Red Hat Linux 5. By this time,
you may be considering investigating other
versions of Linux. For this DQ, I'd like you to
take a "Linux Distribution Chooser" test. It is 6
questions long. The chooser is here
http//desktoplinuxathome.com/distro.html Share
with us the answers you chose for the questions,
and the resulting top 4 distributions. Are any of
your results ones that you are familiar with?
Were you surprised at the results?

www.pos420study.com   One of the biggest
"complaints" people have of Linux is that there
are few commercial applications available to
compete with what is available in their current
operating system. Pick two application categories
(such as Email, Word Processing, Spreadsheet,
Money Management, Graphics, Music, Project
Management) and locate an open source alternative
for each. Give an overview of each product (brief
- but at least a paragraph), then give several
(say 3) reasons why the open source product meets
many (not necessarily all) of the same needs as
the equivalent traditional popular application.

(literally) uses of UNIX and Linux are for
powering the world's supercomputers.
Supercomputers are used mainly to simulate and
perform large mathematical calculations. My
favorite is the Earth Simulator in Japan - I love
the idea of simulating Earth's conditions. It
used to be in the top 5, and has now fallen to
68th in power and capability.

will find a somewhat dated, but still useful,
lecture I used to use in class which focuses on
viruses and antivirus for UNIX/Linux operating
systems. Each of the antivirus programs mentioned
in the lecture is commercial - there is no
mention of open source antivirus options. Why do
you think this is? In at least 250 words, give
three reasons (and support them) why open source
antivirus technology has been slow to develop.
