	Unix - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Unix or UNIX is a computer operating system originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s by a group of ATandT Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Douglas McIlroy.
		The Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: plain text files, command line interpreter, hierarchical file system, etc. In software engineering, Unix is mainly noted for its use of the C programming language and the so-called Unix philosophy.
		The present owner of the UNIX trademark is The Open Group, while the present claimants on the rights to the UNIX source code are The SCO Group and Novell.

	Unix Daemons - Uncyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Unix Daemons are Demons that possess Unix, and Unix-like operating systems like Linux, Mac OS X, SCO Unix, BSD Unix, and MS-DOS.
		When overworked, Unix Daemons tend to get very worried and afraid, which can lead to a situation known as 'kernel panic', when all the daemons run screaming away from the operating system, up cables and cords, and can eventually take up residence in the keyboard.
		If a unix system has a kernel panic, it is vitally important to pull out all the cables as fast as you can, so the daemons cannot escape.

		The Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: plain text files, command line interpreter, hierarchical file system, treating devices and certain types of inter-process communication as files, etc. In software engineering, Unix is mainly noted for its use of the C programming language and for the Unix philosophy.
		During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Unix's influence in academic circles led to massive adoption (particularly of the BSD variant, originating from the University of California, Berkeley) of Unix by commercial startups, the most notable of which is Sun Microsystems.
		Version 7 Unix, the last version of Research Unix to be released widely, was released in 1979.

	Unix Daemons in Perl
		In Unix, daemons are typically started by the root process when the operating system is initialized, and run in the background indefinitely.
		Daemons typically spend most of their time waiting for an event or period when they will perform some task.
		For example, if you were to login to a Unix box and executed a command, the kernel assigns a new process, group, and session id whose parent id is the process id of the of the shell that it was executed from.

	UNIX vs. DOS Operating Systems
		The UNIX BASH shell remembers the last several commands entered in the command line.
		With UNIX, the root user can log in from another username as su, derived from "superuser." To perform tasks such as adding a new user, printer, or file system, log in as root or change to superuser with the su command and root password.
		Unix commands specify all three permissions at once using the decimal equivalent of the 4 bit "octal" number, so called because one can count to 8 using 4 binary bits.

	A List Apart: Articles: Daemon Skins: Separating Presentation from Content
		In the Unix operating system, for instance, the many background tasks that occur behind the scenes are controlled by processes called daemons.
		Following the Unix tradition of keeping the names of things short, a “d” is appended to the end of the name of the task that the daemon controls.
		Thus the daemon that controls the hypertext transport protocol (http) on Unix based web servers is called httpd.
