You've read that one of 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 of each.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: <a href="http://desktoplinuxathome.com/distro.html">http://desktoplinuxathome.com/distro.html</a>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?Of your results, give us a one paragraph overview of one of the distributions that looks interesting to you.On your results page, you will also find a link to a more extensive Linux distribution chooser (<a href="http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php">http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php</a>). Take this one as well – it is a bit more extensive. Share the results of this, and your overall impression of the distribution chooser concept.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. https://www.examtutorials.com/course/pos-420-week-3-dqs/ |
