Introduction
Kate has asked me to research what would be the most efficient way for her business to connect all her computers via the network. She wants me to describe what would be best for her, by researching and describing operating systems, protocols, cabling topologies, wireless connectivity and devices.
Operating Systems
There are four main types of network operating systems, which are Windows Server, Linux, OSX and UNIX. These different types of operating systems could all be used in Kate’s computers but some will be more efficient for what Kate’s business will need.
Windows operating system was developed by Microsoft to run on personal computers, so can be used by anybody for their various different uses, which is why it is the

UNIX operating systems have a similar graphical user interface to Microsoft Windows, so provides an easy to use environment. It allows more one user to use the machine at the same time and also allows more than one program to be run at the same time. It’s a reliable operating system which provides operation of database systems, automatic backup and recovery, network access and programmability.
Linux is an operating system that allows the computer to enable application and the computer operator to access the devices on the computer to perform different functions. Linux operating system is used on computers, laptops, navigation systems and some phones and is also free to use. Linux doesn’t get viruses very often since it’s not a very popular operating system.
Protocols
Protocols are used in a network, to define formal standards and policies made up of rules, procedures and formats that secure the communication between multiple devices over a network. Network protocols regulate processes to secure and managed data or network communication, but must be established and installed by the sender and the receiver to ensure network/data communication can communicate on a network. Protocols are established by international agreements and ensure that computers everywhere can communicate with each other. There are a variety of protocols for different kind of information and functions.
TCP (transmission control protocol) and IP (internet protocol) are two
An operating system (OS) is designed to act as an interface between the computer and its user. The Windows Server OS is a platform that you can use to build an infrastructure of connected applications, networks, and Web services. Originally codenamed Windows Server "Longhorn," Windows Server 2008 is built from the same code base as Windows Vista .
Linux is an open source operating system based on UNIX. There are many types of Linux operating systems available today, but there were several resemblances between different Linux systems. All Linux systems use the Linux kernel. Deepin, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu are three of the many Linux distributions.
In our world today there are so many different types of operating systems as well as features and applications that run on them. There are many similarities as well as differences between Windows 7, Linux and Windows Server 2008. The one enduring similarity is that all three are intended to be utilized as an operating system is meant to.
Linux is the most important free software it has developed into a an operating for business , education , and personal productivity. Linux is so different because of its free implementation of Unix
Linux is a free open-source software that anybody can use . Most people use computers don't even know that Linux exists. Most people just use whatever is already downloaded onto the computer. Or if they buy computer that has no software on it they would buy Windows or Mac since it's displayed in many stores. Difference between Linux and windows / Macs is that you can download a version that specifically displays OS that relates to what you want to use it for. For example there's different distributions that are customized to be only used for editing software. or on the other hand many people just want to use the terminal or start with a o s that is used for coding. Either way you can find many different types of Linux that you can download anywhere on the internet. all of these being free. this is one of the main
The first OS we are going to look at is Linux, it can be a hard system to use and understand, if you have not used it before, you must have a good knowledge of computers in order to deal with Linux. Commands have to be typed in on the command line, and most people do not know or understand command line text. Linux does not have a great number of vendor selling their computer or software, so there is not a good support system for it.
| It is hard to understand the system of Linux because most people are not familiar
Your company is currently investigating the use of Linux. Your manager has asked you to research the feasibility of using Linux in both the server and workstation environments (from the operating system point of view). Your manager would like to see an 8- to 10-page paper that
The networking of the system is recommended after a system study and the fact that there has been a 100% expansion of the demand for the system- from 5 to 50 have been noted. It is also shown that as of now there are machines that are stand alone with windows 7 operating system. The task is to provide a network connectivity that would provide direct connections between the employees, and be centralized in the operation. This essentially requires the creation of a network. This means that all the computers must be installed with a network card and this would be the case with windows 7. The question then comes is if there must be windows networking or use other protocols. We can also partly use the most modern practical solutions.
You have been hired by a medium size (approximately 200 employees) widget manufacturing company to do a complete evaluation of their computer needs and make recommendations to them about an information system to support their business. Currently several of their support departments are using manual processes and they wish to automate their accounting and human resources business processes. They also want to harness the power of the Internet in their business.
We have a choice of using either Windows or Linux for operating system, since they are already preloaded on the servers we are purchasing. In making our decision, we had to first take a look at the features that each system provided and which one would be the best for what we are doing.
While of a similar flavor to that of Windows 7 Ubuntu is a Debian based desktop distribution. Ubuntu is a good general desktop application geared more toward graphic multimedia usage. Ubuntu also has the ability to run some Microsoft programs such as Microsoft Office through the use of a software program called wine which allows Linux like operating systems to run windows applications.
The operating system is an extremely crucial type of system software. It is the backbone of a computer. Without an operating system, our computers will not function properly. Operating systems are highly skilled software that includes programs with an ample amount of information. This information provided from these programs makes it easier for applications to communicate with the hardware. Linux and Windows are two operating systems that dominate in our society today. They are not only dominating in our society, but also in the business world. Windows and Linux are the two most popular
Linux is a trademark owned by Linus Torvalds [1]. It is an operating system which is powerful, free and inexpensive to own based on UNIX [1]. It is a POSIX-compliant with versions available to install in cell phones, supercomputers and most computing systems [1]. Linux is an open source program as its source code is available to the general public for use and the right to modify from its original design without any charges [1]. New code will be added to the next version made available with Linux if it is accepted as a universal improvement [1]. The code will continue to exist and developed by the user even if the company fails [1]. Moreover, updates for Linux are available every six months [1]. Nowadays, Linux is in constant development by
When you start a pc with an OS, it allows you to do projects like:
