my final assignment in my technical writing class is to write a white paper about some issue related to our current field of study. as a computer science major, i have decided to write my paper about microsoft's monopoly, its alternate solutions (mainly linux), and the benefits of linux in the corporate world (cost, security..), and how microsoft's monopoly leads to a lack of innovation.

i was wondering if anyone had any links to credible linux journals or other publications that i might be able to reference in my paper?

also if anyone has any other comments i would love to hear them.

I'll forego pointing out LQ's stance on help with assignments.
Instead I'll suggest you go scour teh intarweb for info and return to ask specific questions.
One of the things you should have learned by now is that you should do your research yourself.
