Chapter 1 . Starting with Linux 9 my (Sri lanka web server)
Chapter 1 . Starting with Linux 9 my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things)… Any suggestions are welcome, but I won t promise I ll implement them
Linus (torvalds@kruuna.helsinki.fi) PS. Yes it s free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT protable[sic] (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that s all I have
. Reprinted from Linux International Web site (www.li.org/linuxhistory.php) Minix was a free UNIX-like operating system that ran on PCs in the early 1990s. Like Minix, Linux was also a clone of the UNIX operating system. To truly appreciate how a free operating system could have been modeled after a proprietary system from AT&T Bell Laboratories, it helps to understand the culture in which UNIX was created and the chain of events that made the essence of UNIX possible to reproduce freely. From a Free-Flowing UNIX Culture at Bell Labs From the very beginning, the UNIX operating system was created and nurtured in a communal environment. Its creation was not driven by market needs but by a desire to overcome impediments to producing programs. AT&T, which owned the UNIX trademark originally, eventually made UNIX into a commercial product, but by that time, many of the concepts (and even much of the early code) that made UNIX special had fallen into the public domain. If you are under 30 years old, you may not remember a time when AT&T was the phone company. Up until the early 1980s, AT&T didn t have to think much about competition because if you wanted a phone in the United States, you had to go to AT&T. It had the luxury of funding pure research projects. The Mecca for such projects was the Bell Laboratories site in Murray Hill, New Jersey. After the failure of a project called Multics around 1969, Bell Labs employees Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie set off on their own to create an operating system that would offer an improved environment for developing software. Up to that time, most programs were written on punch cards that had to be fed in batches to mainframe computers. In a 1980 lecture on The Evolution of the UNIX Time-sharing System, Dennis Ritchie summed up the spirit that started UNIX: What we wanted to preserve was not just a good environment in which to do programming, but a system around which a fellowship could form. We knew from experience that the essence of communal computing as supplied by remote-access, time-shared machines is not just to type programs into a terminal instead of a keypunch, but to encourage close communication.
