How do I rewrite the following for a resume?
I did a study on Network File System in the course Operating Systems. I also implemented NFS server and NFS client on Ubuntu. I also wrote a project report on it.
I want to write above in a resume. I didn't do any new research. But I wrote a report on it. I just can't figure out a way to write in a resume. I don't want others to get the wrong idea, as I didn't do any research.
P.S. I am a fresher. It was a course project.

You're focusing on the wrong angle. Think about it this way: why would a potential employer care that you wrote a report? What skill set does it show you have? What does it prove you could do again?
So think about the report:
- Why did you write the report? For whom? Boss, peers, IT, management, accounting? What are they going to do with the report when it's done?
- Was it just stating the facts of what NFS can do, or were you analyzing pros and cons of installation, or comparing it to some other system?
- What were the sources of the report? Did you pull information from many different sources and create a new reference document for your department, or did you just copy what you learned in the course?
Once you figure that out, it will be much easier to write it as a résumé bullet. ("Analyzed NFS system so that IT Department could justify purchase requisition for next year's budget," for example.)
