    Laboratory Exercise 2 - Linux Overview, Installation and Environment Familiarization

    Uploaded by

    Jan-Alfred Montes
    This document outlines a laboratory exercise on installing and familiarizing oneself with the Linux environment. The goals are to [1] perform file and directory tasks using Linux commands and [2] compare Linux and Windows 10 operating systems in terms of hardware requirements, bundled software, graphical user interfaces, and security features. The student completed the assigned tasks in a virtual machine, documenting their findings in a table that compares the two platforms across the given criteria. In conclusion, the student found Windows 10 easier to use due to its bundled applications like Netflix, but that Linux can outperform it and has fewer security risks than Windows 10.

    LINUX INSTALLATION AND ENVIRONMENT


    FAMILIARIZATION
    Student Name / Group Jan-Alfred A. Montes
    Name:
    Name Role
    Members (if Group):

    Section: 1-ALL

    Professor: Maam Elisa Malasaga

    • PROGRAM OUTCOME/S (PO) ADDRESSED BY THE LABORATORY EXERCISE


    • Ability to demonstrate understanding and proficiency of IT specialization [PO: I]

    • Demonstrate an understanding of Disk Operating System (DOS) and LINUX history and
    concepts. [CLO: 1]
    • Perform file and directory creation and manipulation using DOS commands; LINUX
    installation in virtual machine, file and directory creation and manipulation, and system

    III. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME/S (ILO) OF THE LABORATORY EXERCISE


    At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:
    • Able to perform file and directory creation, and move between directories using LINUX
    commands

    • BACKGROUND INFORMATION

    CentOS
    CentOS (/ˈsɛntɒs/, from Community Enterprise Operating System) is a Linux distribution that
    provides a free, enterprise-class, community-supported computing platform functionally compatible
    with its upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). In January 2014, CentOS announced
    the official joining with Red Hat while staying independent from RHEL, under a new CentOS
    governing board.

    What is a virtual machine?


    A virtual machine (VM) is an operating system (OS) or application environment that is installed on
    software, which imitates dedicated hardware. The end user has the same experience on a virtual
    machine as they would have on dedicated hardware.

    VirtualBox
    Offering versatile virtualization, VirtualBox can create a virtual machine with virtually any operating
    system (except those intended for ARM devices). It also offers software and hard assisted
    virtualization, storing virtual machines as disk images. This makes them easy to backup or migrate
    to other PCs or VM applications.

    VirtualBox is particularly good at running 32-bit and 64-bit Linux distros, as well as Windows. It’s
    even possible to run OS X on VirtualBox.

    V. GRADING SYSTEM / RUBRIC (please see separate sheet)


    • LABORATORY ACTIVITY:
    • Setup
    • Open your Virtual Machine in your respective terminal.
    • Double click CentOS 6.4 from your Public OVAs folder located on your Desktop.
    • Click IMPORT to load your CentOS
    • Double click CentOS 6 from your VirtualBox then wait until the OS is loaded to the VM.
    • Log-in as Student and the password is password

    • Exercises
    Now you're ready to begin.
    • Explore the LINUX environment to determine the hardware requirements, bundled software
    applications, graphical user interface (ease of use and look and feel of the environment)
    and security features
    • Explore the Windows 10 environment and determine as well the above-mentioned
    requirements
    • Use the table below in writing down your comparison between LINUX and Windows 10

    Answers:
    Linux Windows 10
    Minimum Hardware Requirements

    -Processor: Intel: Pentium 1-4 or Xeon; AMD: Duron, -Latest OS: Make sure you're running the latest
    Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP, Athlon 64, Sempron or version-either windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update.
    Opteron -Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or
    -256 MB of RAM (512 MB recommended) SoC
    -500 MB of disk space (800 MB to 2 GB often required -RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
    when including a basic set of applications) -Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-
    bit OS
    -Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
    -Display: 800 x 600

    Linux Windows 10
    Bundled Software Applications

    -it has glick2 -it has microsoft office.


    -it has firefox -it has cortana.
    -it has thunderbird -it has microsoft bing (own browser)
    -it has pidgin -it has netflix
    -it has transmission -it has disney +
    -it has Xchat -it has microsoft store
    -it has Libre Office -it has adobe photoshope Express
    -it has Gimp -it has spotify
    -it has Banshee -it has skype
    -it has Brashero -it has xbox and xbox Game Bar

    Linux Windows 10
    Graphical User Interface

    -it is optional. -it has integral component of OS.


    -speed, efficiency and reliability are all increased by -has a themes feature that offers some customization of
    running a server instance of Linux without a GUI the look and feel of the GUI.
    -more simple and natural than windows computer.
    Linux Windows 10
    Security Features

    -can be downloaded once and used or installed on a -is a microsoft lisenced .


    number of machines -is a paid product from Microsoft Corporation
    -is an open-source operating system that allows the
    users to apply their desired customization

    Observation:
    Linux can beat windows 10 by far but when in comes to bundled apps windows 10 is much more better
    because its bundled apps is what most people used specially in watching movies or series(netflix).
    Windows 10 is also much more easier to use but its security need a microsoft lisence.

    Conclusion:
    Therefore I conclude that, windows 10 is much more easier to use and it is used by most of the people who
    has or using computers and it has the best bundled apps than linux. Windows 10 is much more secured
    than linux.
