History development 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.

Technically and short it can be said, Linux is an operating system that is multi-user and multitasking, 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 itself 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 's who 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).

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, 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.


LINUX DAN PINGUIN TUX

Unlike other commercial products, Linux does not have a logo that looks great, just a penguin bird that shows a relaxed attitude when walking. This logo has a unique origin, initially no logo depicting a trademark of Linux up when Linus (the inventor) on holiday to the south and met with a small and short-linux inadvertently biting his finger. This makes it a fever for days. The incident later inspired him to wear the penguin as its logo with user expectations to fever using the operating system he created this.
