Definition of Linux / Unix |
1. Definition of Linux: Pronounced lee-nucks or
lih-nucks. A freely-distributable open source operating system that runs
on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly
by Linus Torvalds. Because it's free, and because it runs on many
platforms, including PCs and Macintoshes, Linux has become an extremely
popular alternative to proprietary operating systems.
2. Definition of Unix: Pronounced yoo-niks, a popular multi-user,
multitasking operating system developed at Bell Labs in the early 1970s.
Created by just a handful of programmers, UNIX was designed to be a
small, flexible system used exclusively by programmers.
UNIX was one of the first operating systems to be written in a
high-level programming language, namely C. This meant that it could be
installed on virtually any computer for which a C compiler existed. This
natural portability combined with its low price made it a popular choice
among universities. (It was inexpensive because antitrust regulations
prohibited Bell Labs from marketing it as a full-scale product.)

Unix And Internet Fundamentals Howtol |
This document is intended to help Linux and Internet users who are learning by
doing. While this is a great way to acquire specific skills, sometimes it leaves
peculiar gaps in one's knowledge of the basics −− gaps which can make it hard to
think creatively or troubleshoot effectively, from lack of a good mental model
of what is really going on. |
