The document outlines a proposal for migrating Faster Computing's systems from Windows to Linux, emphasizing the need to present the benefits of a specific Linux distribution, the steps for migration, and available tools for services. It requires a 3-5 slide narrated PowerPoint presentation that is visually appealing and includes credible sources. The final presentation should clearly sell the proposal and meet specific evaluation criteria regarding clarity, sourcing, and addressing stakeholder needs.

1. Linux Implementation Proposal: Migration Proposal
Presentation
Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief
proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows
to Linux. The company is specifically interested in seeing the
following information:
(10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.)
Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing's
business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives
exist. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g.,
Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would
Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your
choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).
(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)
What steps will be required to migrate the systems from
Windows to Linux?
Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux
workstations that would provide similar functionality to
Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a
command-line interface.

2. (10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.)
What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file
sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx,
Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the
functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file
sharing).
(1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the
task.)
The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-
slide PowerPoint narrated presentation.
An introductory slide
A summary slide
Voice narration on every slide
For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if
you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team.
Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this
should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be
visually appealing; the inclusion of at least one image that
supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required.
(1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and
validate ideas.)

3. You must cite at least two quality sources.
You used at least 2 references and your references were cited
properly following an accepted style. Ask your instructor for
clarification.
Use the Migration Proposal Presentation template to get started.
(2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.)
You should present your proposal as if you are selling to the
company. Revisit all of these important reasons in the summary
slide.
How Will My Work Be Evaluated?
As you progress in your IT career, you may find yourself
making presentations to customers, client audiences, and
professional peers. By creating an effective presentation, you
are showing how you use your technical knowledge and convey
your ideas to others in a professional setting, an important
workplace skill.
The following evaluation criteria aligned to the competencies
will be used to grade your assignment:
1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the
task.
1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and
validate ideas.
2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.

4. 10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.
10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.
10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.
