Overview
Linux is all around us. It is used to power services that we use in our daily lives. There are many specialized Linux distributions for specific areas of use. Linux is used by everything from smart phones and devices, the cloud and even organizations like NASA. You are going to research a Linux distribution based on the criteria below. You will then prepare a presentation (with live demonstration) and written report. For your distribution you should discuss the following:
- Its history:
- Where it came from?
- When it was developed and first available?
- Latest release (version)
- Use:
- Why would you use this?
- What is it used for?
- Who uses it (users and/or major companies/organizations
- Linux Family (ie: Debian based?)
- Package Management
- How do you install software? (ie: apt-get, dnf)
This can be done individually or optionally in a group of 2.
