Unix - Encyclopedia Of Stupid Unix programs are required to follow naming conventions that are funny (like GNU, which is a type of Unix but stands for "GNU's Not Unix" HA HA GET IT). Some graphical user interfaces have been built for Unix, like Gnome and Litestep, but since you can't do anything with them except run Windows emulators, they are only used by fags and nerds, who always have a Windows machine standing by on which they can play the latest first person shooters. Unix uses a command line interface like DOS and organizes files hierarchically. www.encyclopediaofstupid.com /stupid/index.php/Unix   (242 words)

UNIX and UNIX variant information UNIX which is not an acronym was developed by some of the members of the Multics team at the bell labs starting in the late 1960's by many of the same people who help created the C programming language. UNIX is primarily a command line oriented operating system you can get additional applications such as X-Window which allows you to have a graphic oriented operating system similar to Windows 3.x / Windows 95 / Windows 98. The UNIX today however is the not just the work of a couple of programmers. www.computerhope.com /unix/unix.htm   (255 words)

The Creation of the UNIX* Operating System Like another legendary creature whose name also ends in 'x,' UNIX rose from the ashes of a multi-organizational effort in the early 1960s to develop a dependable timesharing operating system. UNIX* computer operating system from Bell Labs is still regarded as one of the most powerful, versatile, and flexible operating systems (OS) in the computer world. Its popularity is due to many factors, including its ability to run a wide variety of machines, from micros to supercomputers, and its portability-- all of which led to its adoption by many manufacturers. www.bell-labs.com /history/unix   (201 words)

Apple - Mac OS X - UNIX All of the standard UNIX utilities and scripting languages are included in Mac OS X: editors such as emacs, vim and even ed; file management tools such as cp, mv, ls and tar; shell scripts including bash (the default shell), tcsh (csh) and zsh. UNIX users will feel at home in Darwin, the robust BSD environment that underlies Mac OS X. That environment is accessible at any time from the Terminal application. Beneath the surface of Mac OS X lies an industrial-strength UNIX foundation hard at work to ensure that your computing experience remains free of system crashes and compromised performance. www.apple.com /macosx/features/unix   (700 words)

ch001j.c11 Summarizing how pipes found their way into Unix, Vyssotsky notes that Thompson put them in, but "it was McIlroy who said, `look you ought to do it.' Pipes, like most things in Unix were not a radically new idea."(38) He describes how similar ideas had appeared in other languages like SIMULA as early as 1967. The contributions to the evolution of Unix by researchers at Bell Labs and then by those at the University of California at Berkeley, and other users and programmers around the world who continued the development of Unix, are an important achievement in the development of the process of software creation. Once the Unix kernel was coded in C, it would become possible to implement Unix on different computers without having to rewrite the majority of the code. www.columbia.edu /~rh120/ch001j.c11   (8764 words)

What is UNIX? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary UNIX was one of the first operating systems to be written in a high-level programming language, namely C. Created by just a handful of programmers, UNIX was designed to be a small, flexible system used exclusively by programmers. Today, the trademarked "Unix" and the "Single UNIX Specification" interface are owned by The Open Group. www.webopedia.com /TERM/U/UNIX.html   (960 words)

Unix - Frequently Asked Questions (1/7) [Frequent posting] Part 6 of this document (Unix flavours) was written almost entirely by Pierre (P.) Lewis . While these are all legitimate questions, they seem to crop up in comp.unix.questions or comp.unix.shell on an annual basis, usually followed by plenty of replies (only some of which are correct) and then a period of griping about how the same questions keep coming up. Mitch Wright (mitch@cirrus.com) maintains a useful list of Unix and C books, with descriptions and some mini-reviews. www.faqs.org /faqs/unix-faq/faq/part1   (2365 words)

The Unix Operating System Unix has tried intentionally to keep the operating system extremely simple: at the simplest level which can abstract all the hardware. Unix prefers to treat data as a "stream," whereas MVS prefers to work with "blocked" data. This is because on the Unix box, every time a user strikes a key, an interrupt and a screen update results. cbbrowne.com /info/unix.html   (1522 words)

ircII: command line IRC client UNIX has evolved over the years into many variant OS's such as Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc., sometimes collectively known as "*nix", "Unix-like" or simply "Unix". The UNIX operating system was the original home to the Internet Relay Chat, when some code developers wanted a way to chat in an easy-to-use, real-time forum and discuss their developments. Even more recently, with the increased use of Unix on home PCs, IRC users are turning to graphical user interface (GUI) clients to meet their needs. www.irchelp.org /irchelp/ircii   (2274 words)

UNIX® on the Game Boy Advance The PDP-7 UNIX system also caused the inception of a high-level language, B, which was was influenced by the BCPL programming language. UNIX ran on the PDP-11 in early 1971. 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). www.kernelthread.com /publications/gbaunix   (5455 words)

Frequently Asked Questions Unix is a "play on words" of an older multiuser time-sharing OS known as Multics. UNIX was also originally designed as a single user environment (hence "U"nix). The people of #unix condemn hacking (publically, at least.) To absolve ourselves from liability should this tool be used incorrectly, #unix people will not answer questions on the aquisition or use of SATAN. www.bsd.org /faq.html   (2107 words)

Apple - Mac OS X - Overview - Advanced Technology With Tiger come significant enhancements to this UNIX foundation, including improvements to dual-processor support for increased performance when reading and writing files to disk and when using Mac OS X with NFS file servers.

From a rock-solid, developer-friendly UNIX foundation to grid computing, powerful technologies drive Mac OS X Tiger to its leadership role as the world’s most advanced operating system. www.apple.com /macosx/overview/advancedtechnology.html   (713 words)

Unix Unix subsequently underwent mutations and expansions at the hands of many different people, resulting in a uniquely flexible and developer-friendly environment. The turning point in Unix's history came when it was reimplemented almost entirely in C during 1972—1974, making it the first source-portable OS. So, while the trademark today is ‘UNIX’, both capitalizations are grounded in ancient usage; the Jargon File uses ‘Unix’ in deference to dmr's wishes. www.catb.org /~esr/jargon/html/U/Unix.html   (282 words)

Early Unix history and evolution Pipes appeared in Unix in 1972, well after the PDP-11 version of the system was in operation, at the suggestion (or perhaps insistence) of M. McIlroy, a long-time advocate of the non-hierarchical control flow that characterizes coroutines. However, Unix was born in 1969 not 1974, and the account of its development makes a little-known and perhaps instructive story. The genius of the Unix pipeline is precisely that it is constructed from the very same commands used constantly in simplex fashion. cm.bell-labs.com /cm/cs/who/dmr/hist.html   (6213 words)

UNIX This was a major advantage for Unix and led to its widespread use in the multi-platform environments of colleges and universities. UNIX quickly spread throughout the academic world, as it solved the problem of keeping track of many (sometimes dozens) of proprietary operating systems on university computers.

Nick Moffitt's $7 History of Unix Since Unix was written in C, it was much easier for a student to trace the flow of the code algorithmically. The whole Unix culture was based upon sending C source code from person to person, adding features and fixing bugs as time went on. Portability was one of Unix's major strengths, and it would have been foolish to interfere with this by distributing binary-only versions of programs and utilities. www.crackmonkey.org /unix.html   (2866 words)
