INTRODUCTION

Open source software is defined by its attached license which abandons

Essential rights granted to the original creator by copyright law. This procedure

Gives anyone the opportunity to redistribute and modify any received open

Source software... Most operating systems, drivers and utility programs are written

By commercial organizations that distribute executable versions of their software versions that
can't be studied or altered. Open source requires the distribution

Of original source materials that can be studied, altered and built upon, with the

Results once again freely distributed.

1.0 THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE

1.11 Meaning of open source

Open source describes practices in production and development that promote

Access to the end product's source materials--typically, their source code. Some

Consider it as a philosophy, and others consider it as a pragmatic methodology.

Before open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a

Variety of phrases to describe the concept; the term open source gained

Popularity with the rise of the Internet and its enabling of diverse production

Models, communication paths, and interactive communities. Subsequently, open source

software became the most prominent face of open source. An open source (OS) operating system

is a set of programs that schedule tasks, allocates storage and presents a default interface to the

user between applications. But this OS is free, users have the right to use, modify and

redistribute the software for better interoperability. Open source software is defined by its

attached license which abandons essential rights granted to the original creator by copyright law.

Open source means that anyone is free to open and change or use parts of the code. A normal OS

(like Windows or the Apple OS's) is closed source, meaning that only they can develop it.

An open source program or OS normally has more features, and performs better than their closed

source competitors, because there are many hundreds of people making the software better every

day.
1.12Example of open source

Example of open source is Apache, PHP, Mozilla Firebird and the Linux kernel

Example:

Linux

Linux is very similar to other operating systems, such as Windows and OS X.Linux is developed

collaboratively, meaning no one company is solely responsible for its development or ongoing

support. Companies participating in the Linux economy share research and development costs

with their partners and competitors.

The favorites Linux OS is Linux Ubuntu, Linux Redhat, Linux Caldera

1.1 LATEST OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Application software is a defined subclass of computer software that employs the

Capabilities of a computer directly to a task that the user wishes to perform. This

Should be contrasted with system software which is involved in integrating a

Computer various capabilities, but typically does not directly apply them in the

Performance of tasks that benefit the user. The term application refers to both the

Application software and its implementation.

1.11 Examples of open source application software

Typical examples of software applications are word processors, spreadsheets, media players,

word processors, spreadsheets, and accounting systems. Open source, as its name implies, means

providing the software itself, along with the source code of it, free for distribution, compilation,

modification and reuse at no charge or restriction. It’s the kind of initiative usually and

volunteers work, like the Firefox project, and the famous Apache Foundation.

I personally respect those organizations, try to spread the word about them, and support them as

much as I can. They provide us free tools instead of expensive ones, with the option to remodify

them.
1.12 THE LATEST ICT HARDWARE

USB

Provides power to the bus, enabling

Many peripherals to operate

NETWORK CARD

Network card is a piece of computer hardware designed to allow computers to

communicate over a

Computer network

ZIP DRIVE

The Zip drive is a medium-capacity removable disk storage system,

1.2 PERVASIVE COMPUTING

1.21Meaning of pervasive computing

The trend towards an information environment in which users have access to

ICTs throughout the environment. This trend is particularly associated with the growth of

wireless technologies that allow users to access online information and

Services remotely and synchronize data between different computers. Pervasive alone means

something that is present everywhere. Thus, pervasive computing would suggest that computer

technology is spreading throughout a place, it is also referred to as ubiquitous (existing

everywhere at once) computing.

1.23 Examples of pervasive computing

WIRELESS

Wireless is an old-fashioned term for a radio transceiver (a mixed receiver and

transmitter device), referring to its use in wireless telegraphy early on, or for a radio

receiver.

BLUETOOTH

Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs).

Bluetooth lets these devices communicate with each other when they are in range.

INFRARED

Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that

of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves.

CONCLUSION

Open source software has natural strengths which benefit individual users.

Above and beyond this, the widespread use of open source software holds

Advantages for the U.S. economy as a whole, and it is for this reason that a

Careful program of government promotion and encouragement would be justified

And beneficial. The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to contribute to the design of

CSdCL environments of good pedagogical quality. This is approached by

Exploration of the research question: What are the most crucial limitations and

Possibilities of Internet related to performing collaborative activities in distributed

Learning situations? The research question is primarily illuminated through the

Process of developing a prototype of a CSdCL computer system and the

Application of this in a CSdCL situation. This development is founded on Literature studies and initial

studies at two distance education institutions. Open source software provided is for use,

modification and redistribution. It is software that any programmer can download

from the Internet for free and modify with suggested improvements. Open source

software is defined by its attached license which abandons essential rights granted

to the original creator by copyright law. This procedure gives anyone the

opportunity to redistribute and modify any received open source software. The

hardware are the parts of computer itself including the Central Processing Unit

(CPU) and related microchips and micro-circuitry, keyboards, monitors, case

and drives (hard, CD, DVD, floppy, optical, tape, etc...). Other extra parts called

peripheral components or devices include
