I need assistance redrafting up the attached proposal. I need this back before midnight tomorrow. I’d like to keep the same template and no voice over is required. The proposal is for Linux Lint distribution. THIS WILL BE SUBMITTED VIA TURNITIN. 

Linux Implementation Proposal: Migration Proposal Presentation (due at the end of Week 3)

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:

· Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing’s business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?

· The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why?

· Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.

· What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?

· What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, web servers, and email servers?

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation. For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. 

The presentation should be visually appealing; inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required. You must cite at least two quality sources.

Linux Implementation Proposal

Richard Johnson

Why Linux?
Costless
Stable
Reliable
Extremely powerful
Highly Secure

Why Linux
The Linux system is very stable and is not prone to crashes unlike Windows
Linux is completely free and users do not need to pay for anything.
Cost effective: Linux can be installed on old hardware, thus helping in optimal use of all the hardware resources.

Features of Linux Operating System:
Portable(Multiplatform)
Multitasking.
Multi User.
Multiprocessor (SMP) Support.
Multithreading Support.
Virtual Memory.
Hierarchical File System.
Graphical User Interface (X Window System, Wayland)

Basic Features of Linux
Portable − Portability means software can works on different types of hardware in same way.
Multiprogramming − Linux is a multiprogramming system means multiple applications can run at same time.
Security − Linux provides user security using authentication features like password protection/ controlled access to specific files/ encryption of data. Less prone to hackers!

Software application for Linux
OpenOffice (Microsoft Office)
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Konqueror: The KDE File Manager and Web Browser (Internet Explorer)
Gedit (Notepad/Wordpad)
Gimp (Photoshop)
Cinelerra (Movie Maker)
VLC (Media Player)

Comparison of Operating System Linux v/s Windows
Linux is freely available or online downloads, for windows companies have pay for their license.
Windows need up to date time to time, its updating process is slower than Linux.
Linux supports backward compatibility unlike to the windows.
Most of the software made on the windows are need to be licensed but in Linux all of them are freely available.

Hardware Requirements
The transition to the Linux environment will not require any changes to the present hardware components.
Windows utilize Intel Core and 8 GB of ram which is more than what is required for Linux

Graphical User Interface
Users will log in with the use of specially designated user ID and passwords. This functions the same as Windows.
Each password will be unique per the user.
Each user will have different access to the system, depending on their level of use; this means that a person will be allowed to access part of the system that they work on, and the rest will be blocked.

Server File Sharing Tool
Samba Server
Share files across Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X systems
pCloud
Is a cloud storage provider
