This experimental research study determined and compared the webpage browsing performance of proprietary and open source operating systems on wireless networks. It was intended to reveal the significant differences in the webpage browsing performance between proprietary and open source operating systems on wireless networks when classified as to hardware specifications and type’s web content. The researchers used the JavaScript Console of the Google Chrome web browser application to determine the time of the webpage to fully load. Operating system was the independent variable. Hardware specifications which were classified as old system and new system and types of web content which was also classified as static and dynamic webpages were the intervening variables. Webpages browsing performance was the dependent variable. The statistical tools used were arithmetic mean, and t-test. It also revealed that there were significant differences in the webpage browsing performance between proprietary and open source operating system on wireless networks when classified as to hardware specification and web content. The proprietary and open source operating systems were statistically different when classified as to hardware specifications and type of web content.

The VoIP communication system at OMNI Hospital Alam Sutera uses the Elastix 2.5 server with the Centos 5.11 operating system. Elastix 2.5 by the developer has been declared End of Life. The server security system is a serious concern considering that VoIP servers can be accessed from the internet. Iptables and fail2ban applications are applications that are used to limit and counteract those who try to attack the VoIP server. One application that can be used as an open source VoIP server is the Issabel Application version 4.0. The migration process from Elastix 2.5 application to Issabel 4.0 by backing up all configurations in the Elastix 2.5 application through a web browser including the configuration of endpoints, fax, e-mail, asterisk. After the backup file is downloaded then upload the backup file to the Issabel 4.0 application then run the migration process. Adding a backup path as a failover connection is needed because the VoIP communication protocol between the OMNI Hospitals Group still uses one path so that when there is a problem in the connection path, the communication protocol will stop. The tunnel EoIP is a protocol used as a backup path between the OMNI Hospitals Group site.

The increasing prominence and variety of open source software (OSS) threaten to upset conventional approaches to software development and marketing. While a tremendous amount of scholarship has been published on the differences between proprietary and OSS development, little has been discussed regarding the effect of rhetorical appeals used to promote either type of software. This chapter offers just such an examination, focusing its scrutiny on the websites for three pairs of competitors (operating system, Web browser, and image manipulation program). The means by which the OSS websites promote their programs provide a significant set of insights into the potential trajectory of OSS development and its widespread public acceptance, in terms of both its initial philosophy and its perceived alternative nature to traditional software products and models.

The rapid development of the IT world has covered all aspects of life and among IT technology products is the creation of Operating Systems and Web browser applications. Privacy in the use of IT in the open era is now highly expected, therefore now widely developed Operating Systems and Web browser applications that have facilities to protect user privacy. Linux and TOR Browser is a combination that is widely used in the field of security, but unfortunately many are misused by the person in a crime. The motivation to use both is to eliminate or minimize the digital footprint of the browsing activity so that it will complicate the search of digital evidence in a crime. This research proposes a framework of stages for TOR Browser analysis in Linux Operating System which aims to provide solution in forensic investigation using offline forensic method. The use of offline forensic methods to obtain detailed information from a digital proof on a computer in a off state

<p>Vehicles being the most widely used machines need to get smarter compared to their current technology. The necessity described by the younger generation of users, the millennials, for their devices to be smart and their vision to have more computerized and smarter applications of various sensors. The invention and development of better-computerized systems for infotainment and control of vehicles have taken speed and research is done mainly in an open-source on Linux kernel-based operating systems. The Smart Bike System is a Raspberry pi based operating system(AGL) for bikes tracks the various components of the bike like Speed, Quantity of fuel, Distance covered in a single trip, Temperature, Date and Time. We make a note that the current system of dashboards for representing the various aspects of a bike is old. A significant improvement would be made in the quality of the bike and the way people use it if the current computer technology of the world embraces the vehicular system. Automotive Grade Linux(AGL) is an (open source tech) operating system for automobiles which when installed on a computer in synchronization with the parts of a motor-bike has an ability to display more information in a more colorful and animated format like a computer desktop but specifically for automobiles.</p>

Gatan Digital Micrograph (DM) software is considered an industry standard among microscopists. The offline DM application is freely available from Gatan. Unfortunately, DM software has been designed to run only on Microsoft Windows operating systems, thus distancing the microscopy community from popular Unix-based systems, such as Linux or Mac OSX. An ad hoc solution to this problem has required a virtualized Windows operating system running on top of the user's native operating system. This is not only slow, having to emulate each processor instruction, but also requires installation and licensing of Windows and the virtualization software. However, with the aid of open-source resources, it is possible to run DM natively on Linux and Mac OSX (Figure 1). This article was written as a guide with easy-to-follow installation instructions to liberate users from the Windows emulation pidgeonhole and enable them to freely analyze data on Unix-based systems.

Complexity of open source operating systems constantly increase on account of their widespread application. It is increasingly difficult to understand the collaboration between components in the system. Extant research of open source operating system evolution is mainly achieved by Lehman’s law, which is conducted by analyzing characteristics such as line of the source code. Networks, which are utilized to demonstrate relationships among entities, is an adequate model for exploring cooperation of units that form a software system. Software network has become a research hotspot in the field of software engineering, leading to a new viewpoint for us to estimate evolution of open source operating systems. Motif, a connected subgraph that occurs frequently in a network, is extensively used in other scientific research such as bioscience to detect evolutionary rules. Thus, this paper constructs software package dependency network of open source software operating systems and investigates their evolutionary discipline from the perspective of the motif. Results of our experiments, which took Ubuntu Kylin as a study example, indicate a stable evolution of motif change as well as discovering structural defect in that system.

In this chapter, the authors review software that enables the proper management of EHR. The different types of software share the feature of being open source and offer the best opportunity in health care to developing countries—an overall integrated approach. The authors analyze the main free software programs (technical features, programming languages, places for introduction, etc.). Then they focus on the description and the comparison of the three most important open source software programs EHR (OpenMRS, OpenVistA, and OpenEMR) that are installed on two operating systems (Linux Ubuntu and Windows). Finally, the authors show the results of the various parameters measured in these systems after using different Web browsers. The results show us how the three main EHR applications work depending on which operating system is installed and which web browser is used.
