Problem
1. Based on your research, discuss the similarities among the Mac OS X and Linux OS hardware requirements. Make sure to include RAM, hard disk space, and graphic card requirements.
2. Discuss the hardware incompatibilities between the two. Why does working with Apple hardware eliminate hardware compatibility issues?
3. Discuss similar elements between the operating systems of MAC OS X and Linux. Based on your research, why do think the two operating systems share these similarities?
4. Discuss some of the similar utility software that Mac OS X and Linux have in common.
5. Discuss the security features of Mac OS X and Linux. What are the differences?
6. As you know, Linux is open-sourced. Consider whether Microsoft & Apple MAC OSs are more secure from malicious action because of their closed-source approach.
7. Discuss the double-edged sword of open source software (positive and negative). Are the benefits worth the risks? Explain.
