Exercise 4

Well, I think i'm a little bit late..But anyway i'm going to do a short paper. I only read the first part of the teacher's mail and it said:

"For the final session of IT English on Dec 7th, we are doing a class
projcet. You can choose either to do a presentation (esitelmä) or a
short paper (aine)"

So here I am, a few days late. My bad.. Uhm.. Anyway i'm going to do a paper about Windows 2003 Server and Security. I will write about installing Windows 2003 and converting it to a workstation and setting up better security for the PC.

See you tomorrow! -Matti

Exercise 4

I’m going to write a short paper, because even the word presentation gives me the chills. My paper is going to be about the basics of C++. I have this Finnish book of C++ and I will go *throw it from the beginning and make notes of the important parts **as long as the 500 words is fullfilled. Hopefully some learning will ***occure in the process. At least I have to translate some basic concepts of programming. There ****is 730 pages in the book but I don’t think I will get that far.. I think the actual learning part of programming will happen when solving the problems included, but since I have to write this paper I can’t jump straight to those which I would otherwise do. So maybe this task is good for me because I really can’t ever tell what I’m doing when programming, *****I’m just doing it.. Elina

* through
** hmmm... This needs a little rephrasing. Maybe "until I get the required 500 words"
*** occur
**** are
***** I just do it.

Very good!

Exercise 4

Linux was written by Linus Torvalds, born December 28th 1969 Helsinki. August 25 in 1991 Linus Torvalds release first clone operating system, Minix. Minix was early version of Linux. One of the more interesting facts about Linux is that development simultaneously occurs around the world. People from all over the world contributed to Linux. Linux is being developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and thus is freely redistributable in source code. Linux therefore was and remains a free program. Anyone can use it without charge, on condition that any improvements they make are also uncopyrighted and freely available. Linux is compact and it runs faster than windows. It is also more stable.

***************** Copy/paste, copy/paste, copy/paste... Rami, it's better to write "pääd Inglis" than to copy... I really hope you didn't try to copy your whole essay. It will earn you 0 points if you do.


So, I write to the Linux, something about Linux developer Linus Torvalds, system requirements, Linux history and of course, where you can get Linux. So, everyone who read this essay, should have small idea, what is Linux and where it come from!? Rami Fält

***I'll give you 2,5 points for this last part, though.
