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.
good article gan,
ReplyDeleteis now widely offered a variety of operating systems other than Linux, which is one of the windows OS. Though actually existing system in linux better, besides it is not in the commercial, but the interface is in the windows is better but the system more robust linux. a simple interface in Linux, which makes it less attractive to the user OS.
unfortunately, it is still rare that using linux OS.
