Help me find sources for my research paper on Linux
« 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"

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.

If you copy what someone wrote, its plagerism.

If you copy what many people wrote, its research.
