What is Unix™ ? Unix™ is an open source operating system. � Unics : UNiplexed Information & Computing Service. � Unix™ was first written for Space Travel, a computer game by Ken Thomson. Space Travel is the first Application created. It is also the first computer game ever created. � Space Travel: A game simulating travel in space. You navigate by zooming in/out, to reach earth or the other planets in your spaceship.

Brief History of Unix™ � 1969 : AT&T develops Multics (multiplex information & computing science) � Multics was an experimental OS � Ken Thompson used it to play Space Travel, a game he wrote on the Multics computer system. � Project was shelved and so did the multics system. � Ken decides to write re-work multics so he could play Space Travel on a smaller system left unused in the lab. Dennis made sure of that by recoding in C. The PDP-7 system that Unix™ was written on. It even ran Space Travel.

Brief History of Unix™ ¡ 1970 s: Redeveloped & recoded in C programming by Ken Thompson & Dennis Ritchie l l AT&T recognised their work and funded them with bigger systems. In return they created roff, a text processing system. Final versions is troff, which does text formatting. Meanwhile, Dennis teaches C programming & Unix at Berkeley University.

Brief History of Unix™ ¡ ¡ 1977: Berkeley student Bill Joy releases BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) 1980: MACH kernel for BSD from CMU 1988: Next. Step is release with GUI 1991: Linus Torvalds releases Unix-Like Linux RIP: Dennis Ritchie, the creator of C programming passed away a week after Steve Jobs on Oct 12 th 2011. He has given to us very valuable technology and inspired developers to create.

In Conclusion… � Unix™ has become the base for many kinds of computing systems

In Conclusion… � Unix™ has become the base for many kinds of computing systems � Low cost - no renewals or fees per workstation � Stability - no downtime due to its multi-processing capabilities & efficient kernel � Expandability - various hardware supported � Development possibility � Customization - run company requirements � Networking capabilities – it is a pioneer � Unix™ is the preferred choice by companies to run their File and Network Servers.
