Hi,
that really is a lmgtfy question. But, I'll do one better: a link to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Unix Evo2. |
That's actually very easy.

"Unix was developed to provide a platform for developing C, which was then used to write Unix." (at least part of this statement is true.....;) ) |
UNIX was like a MULTICS 2 - OS with idea of time-sharing.

UNIX were employed for guarding harems. :)

Here's the problem: "UNIX" is singular----the plural is "Unices". Or, how about YOUnix?---You know, the precursor of MEnix....(That's the French pronunciation of "Minix") Now, say this 10 times fast: "Linus' Minix is Linux.....is'nt Unix......is it?" Now, what was I doing? |
