Activity1：Name 2 Open Source Software
Mozilla Firefox is a free open source web browser for the computer. It displays web pages written in the computer language HTML. It is made by the Mozilla Foundation. It works on all common operating systems. The makers did not put in all possible features by design, instead extra features can be added. This was done to make Firefox simple to use and safe.

Google Chrome browser is an open source program for accessing the World Wide Web and running Web-based applications
The Chrome browser is a light-weight browser, meaning it does not come pre-loaded with a bunch of add-ons or plug-ins. However, many different types of add-ons and plug-ins can be downloaded and installed in the Chrome browser for added features and functionality
Activity 2
There are 3 main categories of benefit: cost, optimization and flexibility.
COST
Open source products can be cheaper, but if you want an industrial strength product then you pay for some or all of the services around it. At the platform level, Linux is Linux and what you pay for is the support service. Red Hat and Novell provide additional software components to make better use of the underlying platform.
Recent economic conditions have prompted more organisations to seriously consider the use of open source as part of an integrated, blended use of all the available technology.FLEXIBILITY
Organisations have to be fast and agile and that is where open source is a great enabler through shorter application development times, adopting new trends faster, the ability to customize the code to support specific features or processes and faster procurement. In addition there are fast bug and security fixes because coders combine ideas and rapidly fix problems as they are discovered.

OPTIMIZATION
With the growth in the use of open source, IT leaders need to consider optimization in a new way – looking at the big picture of their overall IT infrastructure and deciding whether a proprietary or open source solution is best for each part of their environment. This is supported by the fact that open source systems are, of course, more open. They are usually designed with integration in mind, whereas proprietary systems lock users into a closed system giving the vendor significant power.
3. Record yourself explaining the Linux Operating System in 60 seconds (max). Briefly introduce the open-source operating system and submit your video. Remember, do not exceed 60 seconds.
Linux (also known as GNU/ Linux) is one of the mist prominent examples of free software and open source development which means that typically all underlying source code can be freely modified, used, and redistributed by anyone. It is similar with the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An operating system that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. To put in simply, it communicates between software and hardware. Without the operating system, the software wouldn’t function.
Linux is predominantly known for its use in serves. It also used as an operating system for a wide variety of computer hardware, including desktop computers, supercomputers, video game systems, and embedded devices such as mobile phone and routers. Basic communication with a Linux computer is through a command line terminal (no graphics). That is, the commands are typed on the keyboard instead of clicking on things on the screen with a mouse.
