1. Linux is designed as a server based network operating system. Therefore, it give the user an entire range of server based applications (such as sweeping tools, intrusion systems, streaming music players, game servers, etc) that would not be acceptable to St John's acceptable use policy.
2. There is no standard antivirus application that is available for Linux based systems that are intended for use as desktop devices. Antivirus software that meets the same security and antivirus protection levels currently in place at St John's are designed for Linux devices deployed as servers. For example, The Symantec solution for a Linux server would cost the user appx $600. Shareware/Freeware antivirus solutions for Linux are not adequate protection.
3. An infected Linux laptop, it is a more powerful virus delivery system than a standard Windows based system. This applies to viruses, trojans, and spyware that may infect the system. Infected Windows systems typically hang and shut down. An infected Linux system can continue to run, attempting to infect other devices.
4. The Linux OS does not use (or need) any of the Windows based servers on your network. The student could create a completely separate network on their own. (For games, music, file sharing, etc)
5. If authorized, they would still be able to use the base resources of the network (such as printing, file access, and Internet access) but would have the potential to undermine (even accidentally) the base integrity of the network.
