Author: Charles Hayes:


(Unix)(officially trademarked

as UNIX) is a computer operating

system originally developed in the

1960s and 1970s by a group of AT&T

employees at Bell Labs including Ken

Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and Douglas

McIlroy. Today's Unix systems are

split into various branches, developed

over time by AT&T as well as various

commercial vendors and non-profit

organizations.

As of 2007, the owner of the trademark

UNIX is The Open Group, an industry

standards consortium. Only systems

fully compliant with and certified

to the Single UNIX Specification

qualify as "UNIX" (others are called

"Unix system-like" or "Unix-like").

During the late 1970s and early 1980s,

Unix's influence in academic circles

led to large-scale adoption of Unix

(particularly of the BSD variant,

originating from the University of

California, Berkeley) by commercial

startups, the most notable of which

is Sun Microsystems. Today, in addition

to certified Unix systems, Unix-like

operating systems such as Linux and BSD

derivatives are commonly encountered.

Sometimes, "traditional Unix" may be used

to describe a Unix or an operating system

that has the characteristics of either

Version 7 Unix or UNIX System V.

(Linux) (IPA pronunciation: /ˈlɪnʊks/) is a

Unix-like computer operating system. Linux

is one of the most prominent examples of

free software and open source development;

its underlying source code can be modified,

used, and redistributed by anyone, freely.

The Linux kernel was first released to the

public on 17 September 1991, for the Intel

x86 PC architecture. The kernel was augmented

with system utilities and libraries from the

GNU project to create a usable operating

system, which later led to the alternate term

GNU/Linux. Linux is now packaged for different

uses in Linux distributions, which contain the

kernel along with a variety of other software

packages tailored to requirements.

Predominantly known for its use in servers,

Linux has gained the support of corporations

such as IBM,[3] Sun Microsystems,[4]

Hewlett-Packard,[5] and Novell,[6] and is

used as an operating system for a wide

variety of computer hardware, including

desktop computers, supercomputers,[7] and

embedded devices such as mobile phones and

routers.
