Linux history, Destributions and benefits

1. In the 1960s,MIT developed a time- sharing operating system (Compatible time-sharing system CTSS) to enable multiple terminals to share a single host for operation. Only 30 or so terminals are available.

Around 2.1965 years ago,MIT,Bell and GE issued a joint mutics system. The purpose of the Mutics system project is to enable large hosts to provide more than 300 terminal connections at the same time. Later, the project was lagging behind, funding was scarce, although the project continued to study, but Bell withdrew.

For 3.1969 years, Ken Tompson , a member of Bell in the Mutics project, developed the UNICs system, which was developed using assembly language based on the mutics system and the idea of joining it.

For 4.1973 years, Ken Tompson and Dennis Ritchie co-compiled the UNICs kernel in C and released the UNIX version, the UNIX operating system.

For 5.1977 years, Bill Joy of the University of California, Berkeley, developed an important branch of UNIX,--bsd (Berkeley software destribution), the predecessor of FreeBSD, which could later be installed on X86 machines.

6.1979 years, thanks to Unix's good portability and strong performance, many companies began developing UNIX systems, and Bell developed the system V,IBM to develop AIX. It also developed the system V7 Unix for personal computers, but it declares the copyright, in particular, that the students are not allowed to open the source code.

For 7.1984 years, in order to facilitate the teaching of UNIX, Professor Tan Ningbong developed a X86 structure of the Minix operating system.

For 8.1984 years, Richard Mathew Stallman of the AI Lab created the GNU (GNU is not Unix) project and the FSF (Free software Foundation). GNU advocates free access, free modification, and free learning, but in order to avoid the GNU free software being used by others to become patented software, Stallman commissioned a lawyer to draft a well-known generic public License license.

For 9.1991 years, Lnius Torvalds of the University of Helsinki, Finland, used tools such as Gcc,bash to write out 10,000 lines of code for the Linux kernel. Later, he used the online enthusiastic developers to constantly modify the kernel, eventually with the current Linux operating system kernel.

Linux Common Destributions

What is destribution: Some commercial companies or non-profit work teams assemble the Linux kernel, kernel tools and related software, and join the creative System Management modules and tools of their own company or team to integrate a fully installed operating system.

1. Redhat Enterprise Linux

2. Centos

3. Fedora

4. Debian

5. Ubuntu
   

6. Suse

7. Back track

Advantages of the Linux operating system

1. Open source, rich network resources and technical support

2. Completely free, publishers only sell services

3. Multi-user, multi-tasking

4. Rich network capabilities

5. Reliable safety and stable performance

6. Supports multiple hardware platforms
