We offer some of our observations on the suitability of freely-available UNIX (andUNIX-like) systems for a variety of activities commonly associated with the personal computerdomain, with particular emphasis on inter-operability across various system platforms. Includedin our discussion are the increasingly-popular Linux, which can be used on many different typesof computer hardware, FreeBSD, and Sun Microsystems’ Solaris. In addition, we discussAT&T’s U/WIN system, which provides robust traditional UNIX services, and facilitates the useof many so-called open-source applications, on personal computers running Microsoft Windows.IntroductionOur goal for this

The implementation of the ISO 9001 quality system is to complement theexisting quality assurance activities such as the accreditation by the Board of Engineers,Malaysia and the external examination and assessment processes.Prior to the ISO 9001 certification exercise by the School of Engineering, there was anambitious move by UPM to certify all activities covering the scope of teaching, research,consultancy and administration at the university level. Learning from the failure, which wasmainly due to the lack of management commitment at nearly all levels that did not translateor permeate down the importance of the exercise, has led UPM to take a more cautiousapproach
