Security, Stability, and Ease of Use Make PC-BSD Deployment in Poulx School District a Success
Category: Desktops, Laptops and OS, Security
Tags: hackers, open source, pcs, linux, software, network, applications
Overview The Poulx School District did not have a need to run highly specialized applications. What they required was an operating system that is stable, reliable, and free of viruses. Unfortunately, hackers are continuously writing viruses for the Windows environment, and these viruses hamper the successful operation of a network. And while Linux protects against most viruses and is a low-cost open source alternative, it doesn't feature the stability and security of FreeBSD. PC-BSD is a fully functional desktop operating system running FreeBSD 6 under the hood. Its graphical system installer makes the system installation process effortless. Its self-installing software packages make loading programs a snap.
