linux and the types of linux
In 1969, Ken Thompson and Dennis
Ritchie (also the developer of the C language), researchers at AT & T Bell
Laboratories American, making the UNIX operating system, the forerunner of
Linux. UNIX get great attention because it is the first operating system
which is created not by the hardware maker. In
addition, because all the source code created with C language, making it
easier to transfer to a variety of platforms.
In a short time UNIX
growing rapidly and split into two streams: UNIX developed by the University of Berkeley
and was developed by AT & T. After it started many companies are involved,
and there was a competition that involves many
companies to take control in the field of operating systems. This
competition led to the need for standardization. From this was born the
project that was driven by the IEEE POSIX (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers), which aims to set the standard UNIX specification.
However, these standards do not relieve the competition. Since then, appear
various types of UNIX.
One of them was made by the U.S. MINIX
Tanenbaum for educational purposes. MINIX source code is that by Linus
Torvalds, a student at the University of Helsinki, was used as a reference to
create a new operating system is free and the source code can be accessed by
the public. The operating system is then given the name Linux. In building Linux, Linus uses tools from the
Free Software Foundation's GNU licensed. Then to make Linux a complete
operating system, he put the programs that are also licensed under GNU.
Technically and short it can be
said, Linux is an operating system that is multi-user and
multitasking (verb continous), which can run on various platforms,
including INTEL processor 386 and higher. The operating system implements
standard POSIX . Linux can interoperate well with other
operating systems, including Apple, Microsoft and Novell.
Starting from the Unix operating system developed and implemented in the 1960s and was first released in 1970. Its
wide availability and portability meant that it can be used, copied and
modified extensively by academic institutions and the business
Name Li nux it self derived from the initial
creator, Linus Torvalds , at the University
of Helsinki, Finland which actually refers to the kernel of an
operating system. Linux used to be a hobby project done by Linus Torvald 'swho drew inspiration from Minix . Minix is a
system UNIX small by Andy Tanenbaum
developed in 1987. Minix at the time the project is a lesson in
class at the time that the system resembles UNIX .
History of Linux related to GNU . GNU Project , started in 1984 has a goal to create an operating
system that is compatible with Unix and totally complete and consists of
free software. In 1985, Richard Stallman founded the Free Software
Foundation and developed the GNU General Public License (GNU General
Public License or GNU GPL). Most programs required by an operating system (such
as libraries, compilers, text editors, a Unix shell and window system) were completed in the early 1990s, although
low-level elements such as device drivers, and kernel daemon still not completed
at the time .
12:01 Linux version done around
August 1991 . Then on the 5th
October 1991, Linus announced the official version of Linux, which can
run a 0:02 which only bash ( GNU Bourne Again Shell )
and gcc (GNU C Compiler).
Now Linux is a system UNIX is
complete, can be used to network (networking), software development, and even
for day-to-day. Linux has been used in various
domains (verb perfect), from embedded systems to supercomputers, and have had a secure position in the web application
server installation LAMP her
popular. Linux is an alternative OS that is now much cheaper when compared to a
commercial OS, with Linux skills are equal even the operating system
environment includes:
· Hundreds of
programs including, compilers, interpreters, editors and utilities
· Assistive
devices that support connectivity, Ethernet, SLIP and PPP, and
interoperability.
· Reliable
software products, including the latest development version.
· Group of
developers spread around the world who have been working and making
Linux portable to a new platform,
as well as supporting the diverse needs of the user community and its location
and also acts as its own developer team.
Linux kernel development was
followed by Torvalds, while Stallman heads the Free Software Foundation, which
supports the development of components ofGNU . In addition, many individuals and companies who
develop componentsof non-GNU . Linux communities
combine and distribute the kernel, GNU components, and non-GNU software package
management in Linux distributions.
