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.)

The GNU opeating
system |
"Welcome to the GNU Project web server, www.gnu.org. The GNU Project was
launched in 1984 to develop a complete UNIX style operating system which is free
software: the GNU system. (GNU is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not UNIX”; it
is pronounced “guh-noo.”) Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the
kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as
“Linux”, they are more accurately called GNU/Linux systems. " |

Learn Linux in 10 minutes |
This is something that I had given out to students (CAD user training) in years
past.
The purpose was to have on one page the basics commands for getting started
using
the UNIX shell (so that they didn't call me asking what to do the first time
someone
gave them a tape).

"This book is an installation and entry-level guide to Linux. The purpose is to
get new users up and running by consolidating as much important material as
possible into one book. Instead of covering volatile technical details which
tend to change with rapid development, we give you the straight background to
find out more on your own. "

Low Fat Linux |
This website is a free course for learning Linux, a version of Unix that runs on
ordinary personal computers. I created it for people who want to learn the
basics of using Linux, and thereby Unix, without getting bogged down in too much
detail or technobabble. (See Doctor Bob's bio to learn more about the author.)
Oddly enough, most computer info seems to be written for people who already
understand the topic. I think you'll find this site is different...
