Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper overview of Linux specifically focusing on kernel (2.4 vs 2.2) use and security function. Linux took years to gain the attention of a significant number of engineers and programmers. Now that it has and major computer manufacturers are providing it instead of Windows, it is likely to grow in popularity more rapidly than in the past. The paper includes a list of several major companies using Linux for their major systems including supercomputing applications. Bibliography lists 5 sources in MLA format.

in their zeal to promote its benefits. This operating system is completely open to all who choose to add to it, and there are programmers around the world routinely

rather than any Microsoft product, and at least one company is publishing documentation for the non-programming user. Linux formerly resided only on the
fringe of "serious" business data processing, but that is no longer the case. The purpose here is to review two articles - discussing the kernel and memory use -
and to identify several businesses currently using Linus systems. What Linux Is "LINUX is a free version of UNIX? that runs on Intel/Cyrix/AMD
