Well, by some strange chance I managed to get an assignment on Linux for my MSc course. ;)
However, it is proving difficult to find reputable sources (i.e well known companies, academics). I've been explicitly told that "Bob's Linux page" won't be considered a reliable source of information!
Does anyone know of any locations of good, critical whitepapers on Linux (such as the architecture of it, security, performance). There's plenty of good quality papers from people like M$ giving a very anti-linux view, but a desparate lack of reputable (for some reason they consider M$ reputable, but I can't change that!)sources for Linux.
Any help would be appreciated, esp. sources that are relatively independent.
'Computing' have had a few pro linux articles recently, it may be worth giving them a try. <insert URL of computing here>. Mostly from sun though IIRC, so it may be a bit partisan. There may be some links to what your're looking for perhaps...
And I'm sure there is a write up of that samba vs. NT test knocking about somewhere, it may give you a few quotes...
