■ Hmmm, operating systems: sounds like a theoretical Operating Systems and Systems Integration
subject NO! This is practical!

■ At university, a lot of theory from a text book Nick Loves Linux

■ Are we going to spend lots of time copying from a text Open Standards and Protocols
book? . . . Embrace and Extend
How Best to Integrate? Standards

■ This subject aims to provide you with practical skills that Operating Systems and Systems Integration
you will find useful in your workplace. NO! This is practical!

■ You learn here by doing. Nick Loves Linux

■ I even understand this subject too! Open Standards and Protocols
Embrace and Extend

■ . . . with some comparisons with Windows 2000. Operating Systems and Systems Integration
■ Aim to support career certification, e.g., Red Hat Certified NO! This is practical!

Embrace and Extend

■ It is free software Operating Systems and Systems Integration

■ Free as in freedom NO! This is practical!

Nick Loves Linux
■ . . . also, free as in free beer So why does Nick love Linux?
■ It works really well Open Standards and Protocols

Embrace and Extend
■ It can “glue” many other things together Other “Industry Standards”
■ Like Lego; can build anything I want Why From Many Companies?

■ Built on cooperation Operating Systems and Systems Integration

■ Great for Internet applications NO! This is practical!

Nick Loves Linux
■ Only fully compliant TCP / IP So why does Nick love Linux?
■ We can see and modify the source code to any of it that we Open Standards and Protocols
want to Embrace and Extend

■ Based on standards Why From Many Companies?
■ Uses open protocols How Best to Integrate? Standards

■ What do I mean by “Open Standard?” Operating Systems and Systems Integration

◆ Can freely download the standard, not pay a huge fee NO! This is practical!
just to read it Nick Loves Linux

◆ Agreed to by open discussion: barrier to participation is More reasons why Nick Loves Linux
lack of ability, not lack of money! Standards that are not so open
Embrace and Extend
◆ Examples of open standards: Other “Industry Standards”
n TCP / IP , http, SSH , ftp, DNS , DHCP , Perl, LDAP , SMTP , Why From Many Companies?
TLS , many, many more How Best to Integrate? Standards

■ Many standards are developed in a less open way Operating Systems and Systems Integration
■ Example: the WEP protocol, used to provide “privacy” for NO! This is practical!
wireless LANs Nick Loves Linux

■ Developed behind closed doors, announced to the public Open Standards and Protocols
■ Cracked almost immediately: a bad design Embrace and Extend

■ Not open to inspection and peer review Why From Many Companies?

Embrace and Extend
■ Many companies use “standards” Operating Systems and Systems Integration

■ But change them a little bit to give a competitive advantage NO! This is practical!

■ Example: Kerberos So why does Nick love Linux?
◆ Developed at MIT as open source software, Open Standards and Protocols
◆ Improved by programmers all round the world Embrace and Extend
◆ Used by Microsoft for authentication in Active Directory What is “Systems Integration”?
■ Microsoft changed the interpretation of one small part of Monoculture (One supplier)
the protocol So what answers are there?

Effect: all Kerberos clients can use a Microsoft Kerberos

■ But Microsoft clients will refuse to work with anything
except a Microsoft server.

■ Consider the Microsoft Office suite Operating Systems and Systems Integration
■ The layout is a secret NO! This is practical!

Nick Loves Linux
■ OpenOffice.org has developed an office suite that can read So why does Nick love Linux?
and write Office documents Open Standards and Protocols
■ Very hard work: Embrace and Extend

◆ a moving target What is “Systems Integration”?

◆ Much effort by MS to make them very hard to read, and Monoculture (One supplier)
even harder to write So what answers are there?


■ It involves combining products from many companies into a Operating Systems and Systems Integration
system NO! This is practical!

■ Other words: interoperation, compatibility Nick Loves Linux

■ Very important: it’s not enough just to learn one product Open Standards and Protocols
Embrace and Extend

■ Why not just from one supplier? Operating Systems and Systems Integration
Nick Loves Linux
Embrace and Extend

■ Advantages: Operating Systems and Systems Integration

■ Fewer system integration problems NO! This is practical!

Nick Loves Linux
■ Less skill required So why does Nick love Linux?
■ All training from the one vendor Open Standards and Protocols
Embrace and Extend
■ Disadvantages: Other “Industry Standards”
■ Vulnerability in one is a vulnerability in all (e.g., So.Big, Why From Many Companies?
Blaster, SirCam, NIMBDA worms, Outlook viruses) How Best to Integrate? Standards
■ One supplier cannot make everything: Samba — Systems Integration

■ E.g., Cisco sell more routers and switches than Microsoft

■ Using Open Standards that are free of patents and other Operating Systems and Systems Integration
restrictions on use NO! This is practical!

■ . . . But every vendor says they support the standards! Nick Loves Linux
■ Some standards are more open than others! Open Standards and Protocols
Embrace and Extend

■ Free software supports open standards Operating Systems and Systems Integration
■ So open, you can read the source code and see how it NO! This is practical!
works! Nick Loves Linux

■ You can even change it to suit your needs, and if you find Open Standards and Protocols
problems, you can fix them! Embrace and Extend
■ Aim for interoperation, not for exclusion or market benefit What is “Systems Integration”?

■ Samba allows a Linux or Unix or Macintosh machine to talk Operating Systems and Systems Integration
with Windows NO! This is practical!

■ and the other way round Nick Loves Linux

■ Free Software Open Standards and Protocols
■ A Linux machine can be an NT-4 compatible Primary Embrace and Extend

Domain Controller What is “Systems Integration”?

■ Can also be an AD member How Best to Integrate? Standards
■ Very stable, high quality Samba — Systems Integration
■ Used by many companies to interoperate with Windows

■ We start this week! Operating Systems and Systems Integration

■ So what will we do? NO! This is practical!

Nick Loves Linux
■ In the first class, we partition hard disks So why does Nick love Linux?
■ . . . then install Linux. Open Standards and Protocols
