Abstract: Open source is a big trend, open source software is also more and more in the daily computer desktop. The main reasons why people choose open source software are low cost, security without virus attack, transparency and openness. We’ve picked the top 10 open source apps that are playing the most important role today.
Open source is a major trend, and open source software is increasingly appearing on the desktop of everyday computers, such as the Firefox browser and the Ubuntu operating system. The main reasons why people choose open source software are low cost, security without virus attack, transparency and openness. Under most open source licenses such as the GPL, open source software is allowed to be freely distributed. Here, we pick the top 10 open source software that is playing the most important role today.
1. Linux.This refers toThe Linux kernel. It’s been 23 years since Linus Torvalds announced the birth of Linux in 1991. At present, Linux servers have accounted for 95% of the global server system market share, and the most popular Android system is also based on Linux. While Linux was not the first open source software, it is the most successful and influential operating system to date
2. GNU tools and compilers. The GNU projectStarted by Richard Stallman in 1983 with the goal of creating a completely free operating system, it has been at the heart of the free software movement. The GCC compiler developed by GNU has become the standard compiler for most Unix-like operating systems. Similarly, GNU develops a suite of tools that support Linux systems. \
3. Ubuntu. UbuntuBased on Debian, the first version was released in October 2004. It is by far the most popular Linux desktop and arguably the first choice for Linux beginners and casual users alike. The word Ubuntu comes from an African tribe and means “good people love others”. \
4. BSD operating system.Linux is not the only popular open source operating system. Other Unix-like operating systems, such as the BSD family (FreeBSD), are also gaining ground in the server crowd operating system market. FreeBSD is known for its stability and performance, NetBSD for its hardware support, and OpenBSD for its security. \
5. The Samba. SambaProvides a bridge between Linux/UNIX and Windows, allowing us to share printers, data files, and so on between Linux/UNIX and Windows. Samba comes from Server Message Block (SMB), which is a MicroSoft network communication protocol developed by MicroSoft and Intel in 1987. \

7. The BIND. BINDBerkeley Internet Name Domain Server is the most popular open source DNS Server software. The first version of BIND, developed by four graduate students at Berkeley, was released with 4.3BSD. BIND is the standard DNS server worldwide. The most recent major version of BIND 9 was released in 2000. \
8. OpenSSH. OpenSSHA subproject of OpenBSD, it is an open source implementation of the commercial version provided by SSH Communications Security, released in October 1999. People can use THE SSH protocol to remotely control and transfer files between computers. OpenSSH encrypts the data in the file transfer to ensure security. \
9. The OpenSSL. OpenSSLIt is a security protocol that provides security and data integrity for network communication. It provides encryption and transmission function for Internet data. It has become an important part of Internet infrastructure. In April of this year, OpenSSL was a big dealSecurity bug Heartbleed, became the focus of people’s attention. \
10. The Apache. ApacheHTTP server was born in 1996, it is the world’s most widely used Web server, belongs to the Apache Software Foundation project, server market share at its peak accounted for 70% of the global market share. The Apache name honors a tribe of North American Indians.
