In 1969, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie (also developer of the C language), researchers at AT & T Bell Laboratories America, making the UNIX operating system, the forerunner of Linux. UNIX great attention because it is the first operating system that is made not by the hardware maker. In addition, because the entire source code created with the C language, making it easier to transfer to different platforms.
Within a short period of UNIX developed in two lines: UNIX developed by the University of Berkeley and developed by AT & T. After that start many companies are involved, and there was a competition involving many companies to take control in the field of operating systems. This competition has led to the need for standardization. From this was born the POSIX project led by the IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), which aims to set the standard specification UNIX. Since then, appear various types of UNIX.
One of them is the MINIX made by A. S. Tanenbaum for educational purposes. MINIX source code this is by Linus Torvalds, a student at the University of Helsinki at the time, later used as a reference to create a new operating system that is free and the source code can be accessed by the public. The operating system is then given the name Linux. In building Linux, Linus using tools from the Free Software Foundation's GNU licensed. Then to make Linux a complete operating system, he enter programs that are also licensed under GNU
Starting from the Unix operating system developed and implemented in the 1960s and first released in 1970. Factors that high availability and compatibility causes may be used, copied and modified extensively by academic institutions and the business.
Linux is an operating system that is multiuser and multitasking, which can run on multiple platforms, including INTEL processor 386 and higher. The operating system implements the standard POSIX. Linux can interoperate well with other operating systems, including Apple, Microsoft and Novell. Linux itself is derived from the name of the creator of the beginning, 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 Torvalds who gain inspiration dariMinix. Minix is a small UNIX system developed by Andy Tanenbaum in 1987.
Now Linux is a complete UNIX system, could be used for the network (networking), software development, and even for everyday. Linux has been used in a variety of domains, from embedded systems to supercomputers, and has had a secure position in the web server installation with application LAMP her popular. Linux is now an alternative OS that is much cheaper when compared to the commercial OS, with the ability of Linux to match even more environment operating systems include: Hundreds of programs including, compilers, interpreters, editors and utilities Devices auxiliary supports connectivity, Ethernet, SLIP and PPP and interoperability. Reliable software products, including the latest development version. A development team spread across the world who have worked and made
Linux is portable to a new platform, as well as support the diverse needs of the user community, and location and also act as its own developer team.
History deals with GNU Linux. The GNU Project, started in 1984 has the aim to create an operating system compatible with Unix and complete and in total made up 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). Most programs required by an operating system (such as libraries, compilers, text editors, a Unix shell and a windowing system) were completed in the early 1990s, though elements such low levels of device drivers Linux does not have a logo that looks interesting, just a bird Penguin showing a relaxed attitude when walking. This logo has a unique origin, initially no logo depicting a trademark of Linux until when Linus (the inventor) on vacation to the south and across a small linux and short inadvertently biting her finger. This makes the fever for days. This incident later inspired him to wear a Tux the penguin as the logo, the name of a penguin who became the mascot of the Linux logo. TUX works of artist Larry Ewing in time Linux developers feel the need to have the trademark logo (1996), and at the suggestion of James Hughes was chosen the name TUX which means Torvalds UNIX. Complete own logo of Linux, in the form of a penguin named Tux. This trademark is registered immediately in order to avoid counterfeiting. Linux is registered as Program operating system (OS).
