An interactive timesharing system invented in 1969\n      by Ken Thompson after Bell Labs left the Multics project, originally so he\n      could play games on his scavenged PDP-7. Dennis Ritchie, the inventor of C,\n      is considered a co-author of the system. The turning point in Unix's\n      history came when it was reimplemented almost entirely in C during\n      1972?1974, making it the first source-portable OS. Unix subsequently\n      underwent mutations and expansions at the hands of many different people,\n      resulting in a uniquely flexible and developer-friendly environment. By\n      1991, Unix had become the most widely used multiuser general-purpose\n      operating system in the world ? and since 1996 the variant called {Linux}\n      has been at the cutting edge of the {open source} movement. Many people\n      consider the success of Unix the most important victory yet of hackerdom\n      over industry opposition (but see {Unix weenie} and {Unix conspiracy} for\n      an opposing point of view). See {Version 7}, {BSD}, {Linux}.\n\n      [richiethom]\n\n      Archetypal hackers ken (left) and dmr (right).\n\n      Some people are confused over whether this word is appropriately ?UNIX? or\n      ?Unix?; both forms are common, and used interchangeably. Dennis Ritchie\n      says that the ?UNIX? spelling originally happened in CACM's 1974 paper The\n      UNIX Time-Sharing System because ?we had a new typesetter and {troff} had\n      just been invented and we were intoxicated by being able to produce small\n      caps.? Later, dmr tried to get the spelling changed to ?Unix? in a couple\n      of Bell Labs papers, on the grounds that the word is not acronymic. He\n      failed, and eventually (his words) ?wimped out? on the issue. So, while the\n      trademark today is ?UNIX?, both capitalizations are grounded in ancient\n      usage; the Jargon File uses ?Unix? in deference to dmr's wishes.\n\n\nFrom The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 July 2010) [foldoc]:\n\n  Unix\n\n      \/yoo'niks\/ (Or \"UNIX\", in the authors'\n     words, \"A weak pun on Multics\") Plural \"Unices\".  An\n     interactive {time-sharing} {operating system} invented in 1969\n     by {Ken Thompson} after {Bell Labs} left the {Multics}\n     project, originally so he could play games on his scavenged\n     {PDP-7}.  {Dennis Ritchie}, the inventor of {C}, is considered\n     a co-author of the system.\n\n     The turning point in Unix's history came when it was\n     reimplemented almost entirely in C during 1972 - 1974, making\n     it the first {source-portable} OS.

Many people\n     consider this the most important victory yet of hackerdom over\n     industry opposition (but see {Unix weenie} and {Unix\n     conspiracy} for an opposing point of view).\n\n     Unix is now offered by many manufacturers and is the subject\n     of an international standardisation effort [called?].\n     Unix-like operating systems include {AIX}, {A\/UX}, {BSD},\n     {Debian}, {FreeBSD}, {GNU}, {HP-UX}, {Linux}, {NetBSD},\n     {NEXTSTEP}, {OpenBSD}, {OPENSTEP}, {OSF}, {POSIX}, {RISCiX},\n     {Solaris}, {SunOS}, {System V}, {Ultrix}, {USG Unix}, {Version\n     7}, {Xenix}.\n\n     \"Unix\" or \"UNIX\"?  Both seem roughly equally popular, perhaps\n     with a historical bias toward the latter.  \"UNIX\" is a\n     registered trademark of {The Open Group}, however, since it is\n     a name and not an acronym, \"Unix\" has been adopted in this\n     dictionary except where a larger name includes it in upper\n     case.  Since the OS is {case-sensitive} and exists in many\n     different versions, it is fitting that its name should reflect\n     this.\n\n     {The UNIX Reference Desk\n     (http:\/\/geek-girl.com\/unix.html)}.\n\n     {Spanish fire extinguisher\n\n  (ftp:\/\/linux.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de\/pub\/linux\/people\/okir\/unix_flame.gif)}.\n\n     [{Jargon File}]\n\n     (2001-05-14)\n\n$\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
