	Berkeley Software Distribution - Wikipedia
		The first Unix system at Berkeley was a PDP-11 installed in 1974, and the computer science department used it for extensive research thereafter.
		By integrating sockets with the UNIX operating system file descriptors, users of their library found it almost as easy to read and write data across the network, as it was to put data on a disk.
		Like ATandT Unix, the BSD kernel is monolithic, meaning that device drivers in the kernel run in privileged mode, as part of the core of the operating system.

		The earliest distributions of Unix from Bell Labs in the 1970s included the source code to the operating system,allowing researchers at universities to modify and extend Unix.
		For example, vi, which had beenbased on the original Unix version of ed, was rewritten as nvi (new vi).
		By integratingsockets with the UNIX operating system file descriptors, users of their library found it almost as easy to read and write dataacross the network, as it was to put data on a disk.

	SETTING UP UNIX - Sixth Edition
		Once the UNIX `binary' disk is obtained, the system is booted by keying in and executing one of the following pro- grams at 100000.
		The `#' is the prompt from the UNIX Shell, and indicates you are logged in as the super-user.
		The efficiency with which UNIX is able to use the CPU is largely dictated by the configuration of disk controllers.

	Sixth Edition Thompson shell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Osh(1) is an enhanced, backward-compatible reimplementation of the Thompson shell from Sixth Edition Unix (circa 1975).
		The Thompson shell, by Ken Thompson of Bell Labs, was used as the standard command interpreter through Sixth Edition Unix.
		In the Seventh Edition, it was replaced by the Bourne shell and then made available as osh.

		UNIX was initially tied up to DEC PDP machines until Brian Kernighan joined the development team by introducing the first C complier.
		In 1973, the UNIX kernel was re-written in C. This tack, allowing UNIX to port from one type of processor to another by simply recompiling its C source code, contributed greatly to its later popularity.
		Despite that, the source code of UNIX (Fifth Edition) was freely available to some colleges and universities for educational purposes which galvanized many enhancement projects on UNIX.

	The UNIX System -- History and Timeline -- UNIX History
		Soon all the large vendors, and many smaller ones, were marketing their own, diverging, versions of the UNIX system optimized for their own computer architectures and boasting many different strengths and features.
		Customers found that, although UNIX systems were available everywhere, they seldom were able to interwork or co-exist without significant investment of time and effort to make them work effectively.
		Throughout the early and mid-1980's, the debate about the strengths and weaknesses of UNIX systems raged, often fuelled by the utterances of the vendors themselves who sought to protect their profitable proprietary system sales by talking UNIX systems down.

		The "You are not expected to understand this" comment could be found in the C source of the Sixth Edition Unix operating system, released in 1975.
		In the Sixth Edition of Unix this message was incorporated into the "mv" command, which is used to move or rename files.
		The very first use of Unix in the "real business" of Bell Labs was to type and produce patent applications, and for a while in the early 1970s we had three typists busily typing away in the grotty lab on the sixth floor.

	UNIX® on the Game Boy Advance
		The 3rd edition was the first UNIX to run on the PDP-11/45, which had hardware segmentation and support for more core memory (256 KB).
		Moreover, 6th edition is the earliest UNIX system that is available in machine readable form in its entirety.
		Note that in order to run 5th edition UNIX with gbaunix, you must have an RK05 disk image of 5th edition UNIX, which is not included in the gbaunix distribution.

	Re: [dvd-discuss] The 2nd Circuit's list of questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Sixth Edition source code was not written with the intention of being poetic, but it _was_ supposed to be clear and readable.
		Since there isn't enough code for a working system and since Sixth Edition Unix is obsolete now, there's no chance that people will want that code "just in order to run it".
		So people keep on reading the _Lions' Commentary_, not because they want Sixth Edition Unix and not because they want to copy code from it, but because they want to understand how it worked and understand how the developers of Sixth Edition Unix went about putting together an operating system.

		Unix implemented by Thomson and Ritchie on PDP-11 was rudimentary, but nevertheless essentailly it was Unix we know today.
		Armed with the C language Thomson and Ritchie embarked on rewriting Unix kernel in C. At the time implementing operating system in a high-level language was a radically new idea.
		It turned out that Unix kernel rewritten in C was slower but much easier to understand and modify.

		For all but the thorniest Unix problems, this one reference should be all the documentation you need.
		The third edition of UNIX in a Nutshell includes thorough coverage of System V Release 4.

		One UNIX critic said of this policy: ``If they know about the bugs, why don't they fix them?'' The point is that the early UNIX authors established the beneficial habit of documenting limits to the program, rather than always letting the end user find them.
		It was considered static by the time of the Sixth Edition, and obsolescent by the time of the Seventh, and dropped altogether by the time of System III.
		And the Fortran weakness of UNIX was remedied with a vengeance for the Seventh Edition.

		Date: Tue, 15 Oct 1996 02:47:13 GMT Some of the history: Through Unix Sixth Edition (1975) argv[argc] was filled in with the value -1, in part to help detect accesses through it, and thus to encourage use of argc instead of depending on a sentinel in argv.
		By the Seventh Edition (1979) and in the soon-following 32V and BSD versions, argv[argc] was set to NULL by the operating system.
		This was documented in the Unix manuals (under exec(2)) and thus implicitly for C in the Unix evironment.

		The versions of Fifth Edition Unix and Mini-Unix in the PUPS archive are in the form of bootable RK05 disk images.
		Both are very similar to Sixth Edition, and so you should read the next section for hardware that is likely to be supported by these versions.
		The `Setting Up Unix - Sixth Edition' guide says that the distribution tape is configure to be able to boot on a PDP 11/40 with either an RK05, RP03 or RP04 disk, TU10 magtape or TU56 DECtape.

		In the few cases where important proprietary code was allowed out of a company's closet, it spurred enormous interest and creative advancements.
		As an example, a generation of programmers benefited from John Lions's Commentary on the Unix Operating System that listed and annotated the complete source code of the sixth-edition Unix kernel.
		Although Lions's book was originally written under a grant from ATandT for use in an operating system course and was not available to the general public, copies of it circulated for years as bootleg nth-generation photocopies.

	Odd Comments and Strange Doings in Unix
		Every now and then on Usenet or elsewhere I run across a reference to a certain comment in the source code of the Sixth Edition Unix operating system.
		The "clever part" relies on the fact that if the "bvc 1f" is not taken, it means that the result could not fit in 16 bits; in that case the long value in r0,r1 is left unchanged.
		Back around 1970-71, Unix on the PDP-11/20 ran on hardware that not only did not support virtual memory, but didn't support any kind of hardware memory mapping or protection, for example against writing over the kernel.
