Goal of this project

• Install Fedora on a bootable flash drive or external HDD for grading.

• Setup and install software that will aid Linux in functioning on a primarily Windows based computer network.

• Install NFS, Samba, CUPS, OpenLDAP and install a trial copy of Windows Server to sync Open LDAP with Active Directory for workstation logins.

Fedora / UNIX• Linux based operating system. • Fedora and Unix Operating systems

are all free and open source.• All of the programs for Fedora are

also free and open source• Using UNIX in a business

environment is cost effect

Samba (NFS)

• Samba is a freeware program that allows end users to access and use files, printers, and other resources on a network.

• Samba is often referred to as Network File System and can be installed on a variety of operating systems.

CUPS• Common Unix Printing System• CUPS is a portable printing layer used on UNIX-

based operating systems to provide a common printing interface across a local network.

• CUPS allows print jobs to successfully transmit between Windows based machines and Unix based machines.

Open LDAP• Open LDAP is an implementation of the Lightweight

Directory Access Protocol. • Generally speaking: Open LDAP allows a Unix

workstation to work in junction with non Unix computers in a network.

• It works with the Active Directory information located on the network servers.

Installing Fedora

• yum install samba samba-client1

• yum install CUPS2

• yum install NFS3

Installing NFS, CUPS, and Samba

Installing Open LDAP

• Download the rpm from fusion

• yum install ldap*• Configure LDAP with

usernames and access rights.

MAKING IT WORK

Windows Server 2012

With Active Directory for Workstation Logins

• Attempted setup on local laptop.• Various Issues with software and hardware• Substitute: Windows 8 laptop with sharing
