Introduction I will be writing a Linux Implementation Proposal for the company Linx, LLC. This company has a new research and development group named LSDG. All the systems in the group LSDG will be running the Red Hat Linux operating system. These systems will access and share resources with the existing hardware in place. The existing hardware that Linx, LLC has implemented is a Microsoft active directory domain which contains numerous Windows Server 2012 R2 servers running services like DNS, DHCP, web services, printing and file services for the staff at Linx, LLC. The company overall has about 500 clients that run a mix of Windows 7 and Windows XP configurations. This proposal’s main objective is to replace every Windows XP system with a Linux variant. The Variant I have chosen to replace the Windows XP systems will be Red Hat. Migration and installation of Red Hat Linux The Red Hat Linux team has made it super easy for system administrators that have no Linux experience to install or migrate the systems to Red Hat from Windows. The systems that Linx, LLC wants us to update have an Intel Core 2 processor, 2GB RAM and an 80GB hard drive already installed. The Red Hat Enterprise operating system. requires that the hardware meets the following requirements before installing. The CPU should be a Pentium 4 or higher and should be at least 2GHz or higher, 1GB minimum of RAM and 4GB minimum for the hard drive. (Nwosu, 2010) The current Window XP system will be able to run the…

“Founder of Mars One, Bas Lansdorp, is in favour of Ubuntu, a Linux distro, to colonise Mars”(Banerjee). Linux, a small operating system that started with a few lines of code in 1991, quickly grew to compete with Microsoft's Windows operating system in only a few years. Since then, the debate over which choice is better has been ceaseless, although new developments may tip the debate in the favor of Linux. Linux is not only free, but the driving philosophy behind Linux is that it should always…

Software Management, Linux on Your System #2 This week’s critical thinking assignment explores the software and process management capabilities incorporated in the current release of the Fedora operating system. To do this, multiple commands will be used such as rpm, yum, and wget, along with documentation of the install process. Finally, the kill and ps commands will also be used to view and manage running processes on the server. Pinging Google The first step in the assignment was to open a…

1. Goal The main purpose of this lab is to introduce us to the RLES vCloud system, begin setting up a network with a router VM and a main Redhat VM, and configure some baseline features for the continuation of our work in future labs. This included configuring DNS forwarding and NTP on the PFSense router VM, and configuring a wiki on the redhat VM alongside monitoring software such as Zabbix or Opsview. When configuring the router, all was fairly straightforward and without any major…

6 8. The following parameters are calculated for each of the node in each of the server wings: Voltage, Temperature, Fan Speed, CPU Utilization. After we calculate the theoretical values of the parameters we calculate the threshold value using the above, if the calculated value exceeds the threshold value there is a chances of the node to fail, and hence we take the previously mentioned migration policies to tackle the situation. B. User Interface: Figure 4. UI of the server. The main…

Installing a custom recovery replaces the stock recovery on your Samsung smartphone. If you are not an advanced Android user, it doesn't matter which recovery you have on your device.

Recommended Kernel Custom kernel can be fantastic for organizations that need to utilize only one or minimum services and applications for their organization. Open source codes of Linux distributions make it possible for Linux administrators to configure kernels for exactly what the company needs. The downside to this is that you would have to employee a Linux administrator adequate enough to configure and update Linux for the company full time. Compile stock kernels advantages are that every…
