Tools to provide file sharing, services, and printing
using the command exportfs
<insert narration>
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).
Discuss the tools that can be used on Linux servers, identify the functions, and explain what those functions are used for.

Summary
In summary, my proposal has demonstrated why Faster Computing should migrate existing computers to <enter Distro here>.
Summarize your main points. It’s your last opportunity to connect with your client.
Why should the company should adopt Linux? Why did you recommend the distro you chose?
Will hardware upgrades be required?
How will the migration work?
Is the GUI similar to existing Windows based computers?
Are there any CLI considerations and what tools did you recommend?
