Introduction
Linux is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems based on the

Linux kernel. Their development is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source

software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and

redistributed, both commercially and non-commercially, by anyone under the terms of the GNU

GPL.

Justin Fae Internet Café is the internet café located in Matagbac Tabaco City, Albay.

They are using Windows XP in their User Computers and Windows 2003 Server in their server.

This Internet café is own and managed by Mrs. Celeste Belga.

Problem Background

Justin Fae Internet Café has encountered a problem.

 Some of their data loss because of the customer who’s inserting their prone to virus USB

flash drives in the computer them using.

 Every the end of the month they have to format the computer so some virus not detected

by an Anti – Virus will be loss.

 Some of their Anti – Virus has expiring so they need to buy again a license one.

Objectives

The author of this project proposed his project to Justin Fae Internet Café. It is about using a Red

Hat Linux Enterprise as they server and also a User. The advantage of using this is.

 Linux is a free Operating System so they can download it on an internet.

 Linux is free to virus attack so you don’t have to worry if some of your customers insert a

Flash Drive on a System Unit.

 You don’t have to buy any Anti – Virus software because the Linux doesn’t need any

Anti – Virus.

 You don’t need to format the hard disk of your system unit anymore.
