The proposal is created for implementation of Linux for Sphynx, LLC that have created a new research group for the development of new methods of electronic parts fabrication. The project proposal is created for the migration of the windows platform to linux operating system for sharing data and files with the research group. Currently the company uses a Microsoft Active Directory Domain an the new system is needed to use the domain for getting different services such as DNS, DHCP, File services, Printing and Web service. The employees working in the company have sound knowledge of using Linux operating system and they are moved to the new group and thus there is no need of extra training session for using Linux.
The existing hardware that is used for the current desktop running Windows XP can be used for the installation of Linux operating system because the recommended system requirement for running the latest version of Ubuntu is dual core processor, 2 Gb Ram, 25 Gb HDD space and display resolution of 1024 x 768. No new hardware is needed for running ubuntu as the Linux operating system. For running the 64 but version of Ubuntu the 3Gb ram is needed which is also available for using the current computers running the Windows XP. For using ubuntu in the GUI mode 4 gb of memory would be utilized and it can be used for providing visual effects and since the machines are not older than 10 years it would be able to run all the versions of ubuntu.
For the migration of the data for the selected platform a second hard disk should be installed with the system which should be installed with Linux and it does not requires to using the windows installation. The Linux operating system can be used for accessing the old disk and backup the files and data in the new disk and use the old disk for getting backup for the other computer. The data that is needed to be backed up should be identified and the data should be saved for using it in future. The Linux operating system should be installed in a new partition and it would not erase the existing files and this can cause no data to be lost.
For replacing the Windows XP with the Linux operating system Ubuntu is a great choice because windows XP uses similar hardware as Ubuntu OS. Ubuntu is selected as a replacement since here the applications can be installed easily and there is no need to surf internet for getting different software application. The software can be found on the Ubuntu Software Center, there are different popular programs and alternatives that can be downloaded freely and it can be installed in a single click. The ubuntu is selected and has the largest base of user and offers a GUI for management of multiple application.
There are different options available for installation and it can be installed using CD/DVD, USB Memory stick, Network, Hard Disk or supported storage systems. Before starting the installation the existing documents and data should be backed up and the booting media should be selected and the language should be selected for starting the installation procedure.
The users would log in into the ubuntu system using the domain user account and the root access to the normal user should be restricted. The domain controller should be used for the management of the access of the user to use the system.
For getting the Ip address automatically from the Windows server must be configured with DHCP service and it can be found from the Ubuntu system from the terminal. The command “dhclient -d -nw eth0”, can be used for getting the details of the server providing the IP address.
The Windows server installed in the network is needed to be configured with DHCP service and a DHCP pool should be set with the range of IP address that is needed to be assigned to the host connected in the network. The ubuntu host gets the Ip address from the server by requesting for the IP address.
For accessing the DNS service the windows server 2016 is needed to be configured with the DNS service and it should be configured with a friendly domain name.
The web browser of the ubuntu operating system should be used for reaching the DNS server. The IP address used for the configuration of the Windows server should be mapped with the domain name such that the computer connected in the network can use the URL for accessing the service. For accessing the DNS server the address of the DNS server should also be inputted in the DHCP pool such that the host can reach the server using the address.
For accessing the file from the ubuntu operating system the files application should be used from the “Activity”, overview and the option other location should be selected from the side bar. Any computer connected in the network would be discovered from the local area network and the destination computer should be selected for accessing the files.
For accessing the files residing in the server the “Connect to server” option should be used and the address of the server should be inputted in the URL form and the files should be listed. The listed files can be browsed similarly as the own computer.
For securely sharing the files with the other users connected in the network the user should be made the member of the group. The folder permission should be changed for sharing and it can be changed by right clicking on the folder and looking for group permission and changing the permission to read and write. The users who are given the permission to access the files should be added from the group and the group of the folder should be changed to the group intended to share the files and the permission should be adjusted.
In ubuntu it is a challenging task to configure a printer and for setting the printer CUPS manager can be used by selecting it from the system > preference menu and then selecting on the printing option. The selection of the option would open the printer window and if no printer is listed it should be changed and new printer in needed to be added and the setting should be modified. The application is also useful for monitoring the existing jobs in the printing queue, disabling or restarting the printer.
There are different encryption tool available in ubuntu that can be used for the encryption of data. The entire disk used for the installation of ubuntu can be encrypted or separate files and folder can be encrypted and it is selected depending on the security level needed by the organization. The research information should be encrypted such that the blueprint cannot be accessed by any third party individual for gaining monetary benefit.
VeraCrypt software is an encryption software that can be used for creating encrypted container and storing the data under the container.
Since the user are migrating from Windows XP to Linux the use of the GUI based operating system would be a suitable choice. The graphical user interface would help the user to interact with the devices using visual indicator rather than text and command lines. It make the accessible easy as there is no need for the user to memorize the commands intended to perform specific operation. Thus ubuntu operating system is selected which have a GUI and can work using terminal for making the user familiar with the migration of the operating system.
Conclusion
From the above proposal it can be concluded that with the deployment of the ubuntu operating system as a replacement of the Windows XP would help the organization to increase the security and efficiency in management of the network. The software licensing issues can be resolved with the installation of ubuntu and since the support of XP has ended it has become obsolete and become vulnerable to different ransomware and viruses.
