Title: Help me find sources for my research paper on Linux
Post by: slave on 17 November 2002, 20:20
We're writing arguments in my english class, and now we have to write a "proposal argument" and I chose to write mine on switching all the internet computers at our local library to linux.  There are about 250+ computers there and they all run windows NT 4 and netscape 4.x currently and it's horrible.  Netscape renders a lot of web pages terribly.  I'd propose that they move to Linux and Mozilla.  I need some sources to quote about Linux's security compared to windows. (some statistics on # of defacements of windows vs linux would be good) I also need perhaps an example in an article of a company or a school or a public office switching their computers to Linux.  Oh, and something mentioning the cost savings of linux compared to windows licenses.  Anybody have any good articles/links?

Huh? Why not Windows XP SP1 and Internet Explorer 6 like Zombie9920 would recommend?

I thought the phrase was: "Open source NEVER"  (http://tongue.gif)

You need to get with Bazoukas. He just finished something very similar in his college class. I'll bet he has tons of resources. In fact he even did a powerpoint (ooimpress) presentation on it. You could do a little plagiarizing.   (http://smile.gif)

If you copy what someone wrote, its plagerism.

If you copy what many people wrote, its research.
