A small start-up company has contacted you to install its computing systems. The company consists of 35 employees who each have a computer that will need to be networked. The company has already purchased Intel-based desktop systems with nothing installed on them and a dual processor server that has a terabyte hard drive on a new state-of-the-art SCSI adapter, 1,978 MB of RAM, and an NIC. The company is on a very tight budget, but has an aggressive growth strategy and will need Internet connectivity in the near future. The company is planning to open another branch across the country and wants to be able to share resources. The server will be used to store records, billing information, application software and will act as a central location from which to load and upgrade software at each client. The company is requesting that you use the Linux operating system.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation and address the following:

• What benefits does Linux provide over other operating systems (such as Windows or Macintosh)?
• Describe the various features of Linux.
• Explain the steps that you will take in preparation for installing Linux.

Adhere to APA formatting and reference guidelines when writing your response. Additionally, your response should be free of grammatical errors, use complete sentences, and give specific details to support statements.
