Accepted Answer

Red Hat Linux is the most commonly used distribution of Linux, as it has a strong reputation for stability and security. It also has a large user base, which means there are many resources available for support and troubleshooting. While Debian, Mandrake, and SuSE are also popular, they are not as widely used as Red Hat.

Question 3

A(n)____ is a piece of software that tells the operating system how to use a specific hardware device.&#10;A)system service&#10;B)graphical user interface&#10;C)user interface&#10;D)device driver

Accepted Answer

A device driver is a software that enables an operating system to communicate with hardware devices.

Without device drivers, hardware devices would not work properly with the operating system.

Question 6

____ is software that is distributed free of charge, but the source code is not available.&#10;A)Open source software&#10;B)Close source software&#10;C)Freeware&#10;D)Shareware

Accepted Answer

Freeware is software that is distributed without charge, but the source code is not available to the public. Open source software, on the other hand, is distributed free of charge with the source code available for modification and distribution. Close source software and shareware are typically distributed for a fee.

Question 7

The ____ stipulates that the source code of any software published under its license must be freely available.&#10;A)Artistic License&#10;B)GNU Public License&#10;C)Free Software Foundation&#10;D)Freeware

Accepted Answer

The GNU Public License (GPL) is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works. The GPLv3 provides that anyone may copy, distribute, or modify the software as long as any modified versions are also licensed under the GPL and the source code is made freely available.

Question 8

Which of the following is the greatest expense for companies using Linux?&#10;A)software upgrades&#10;B)additional software&#10;C)hiring staff to maintain the system&#10;D)operating system cost

Accepted Answer

Hiring staff to maintain the Linux system is typically the greatest expense for companies. While there may be some cost associated with software upgrades and additional software, the overall cost of operating system and licensing is significantly lower than with proprietary alternatives.

Question 9

The concept of ____ enables software developers to read the source code of other people's software, modify that source code to make the program better, and redistribute that source code to other developers who might improve it further.

A)Open Source Software
B)Linux
C)Closed Source Software
D)Freeware

Accepted Answer

The concept described in the statement is that of open source software, which is a type of software whose source code is freely accessible and modifiable by anyone. This promotes collaboration and innovation among developers, as they can share and improve upon each other's work. Linux is also an example of open source software, but it is not the best choice for this question because it is just one specific example. Closed source software and freeware do not necessarily allow for this type of collaboration and modification.
