Searching for information is itself a daunting task because it requires hours and hours of conducting research work. The greatest drawback of this searching is that there are many sites that offer unauthentic information as well. Therefore, to find all the data that is authentic is itself an issue.
For those students who dread the idea of searching material for writing Linux research paper, we have compiled a list of sources that will help them get first-hand information for their paper.
Useful sources to find information on Linux:

It is a by-product of the Linux foundation which has a huge treasure of information, that is not only up to date by authentic as well.

Moreover, this site also provides an opportunity to learn the complex operating system.
