From Principals Desk,

Dear Students,

You are indeed blessed to find opportunity of being educated in this

college that is in the name of great saint Sankaracharya. You would for sure carry the rich values and traditions imbibed here to greater heights. Our college has the privilege to have healthy and harmonious ambience and the credit goes to the college management. You are in a competitive world apart from being adept in the field of studies, one need to have the holistic development of person here. I intently believe that you would have an all-round development of your personality during your stay in this temple of learning. Have ambitions and aims along which your hard work, enthusiasm, resilience located with knowledge intellect would take you to any extent you desire. Different societies and associations like NSS, Eco-Club, Youth Red Cross Society, Red Ribbon Society, inculcate not only the love for social service, discipline, compassion for nature, agility and awareness for ones rights and duties, pride for Indian culture and tradition; but also make them good human beings and confident leaders. My best wishes to all the students for the students club. Through your active participation you would definitely turn out to be the best citizens endowed with humanistic values after getting formally instructed from this institution and would open new horizons of development and bliss for your country. With best wishes, Dr. S Seethalaksmi M.Sc., M.Phil., PhD., PGDEM., PGDCA., FICS
(Principal, Sankara College of Science and Commerce)

LINUX IS MORE SECURE THAN WINDOWS

Mr. Nithyanandh.S, Asst. Professor Dept. of MCA

Most people use Microsoft Windows, and pirates want to do as much damage (or control) as possible: therefore, they target Windows. But that's not the only reason; the Apache web server (a web server is a program located on a remote computer that sends web pages to your browser when you ask for them), which is open source software, has the biggest market share (against Microsoft's IIS server), but it still suffers from much fewer attacks/flaws than the Microsoft one.

Linux uses smart authorization management. In Windows you (and any program you install) usually have the right to do pretty much anything to the system. If you feel like punishing your PC because it just let your precious work disappear, you can go inside the system folder and delete whatever you want: Windows won't complain. Of course, the next time you reboot, trouble begins. But imagine that if you can delete this system stuff, other programs can, too, or just mess it up.

Linux doesn't allow that. Every time you request to do something that has to do with the system, an administrator password is required (and if you're not an administrator on this system, you simply can't do it). Viruses can't just go around and delete or modify what they want in the system; they don't have the authorization for that. LINUX is more secure than Windows. Start Practicing LINUX.
