Case Study: One of the topic areas you'll be addressing in your presentation for Faster Computing is graphical user interfaces and how to interact with Linux. For many organizations, a distinction is made between user workstations and servers. For workstations, most end users prefer to have a graphical user interface (GUI). On servers, though, it's common to not use a GUI at all and complete all work at the command-line interface. With that said, every organization is different, and you'll have to work with Faster Computing so the company can make the right decision for its business needs.Faster Computing will also need to understand how software installation works in Linux. It's critical for Faster Computing and any organization to be able to install and run the software needed to support the business. The process is significantly different than on Windows, so there will be new things to learn here. In this week's LabSim, you'll learn about some of the different installation tools available, such as RPM, YUM, and others.

Question: Project Presentation
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. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).

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

• 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 tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing).
