From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Unix (officially trademarked as UNIX, sometimes also written as Unix with small caps) is a computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs, including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Douglas McIlroy, Joe Ossanna, and Tom Blakeley. Today's Unix systems are split into various branches, developed over time by AT&T as well as various commercial vendors and non-profit organizations. As of 2007, the owner of the trademark is The Open Group, an industry standards consortium. Only systems fully compliant with and certified according to the Single UNIX Specification are qualified to use the trademark; others are called "Unix system-like" or "Unix-like". During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the influence of Unix in academic circles led to large-scale adoption of Unix (particularly of the BSD variant, originating from the University of California, Berkeley) by commercial startups, the most notable of which are Solaris, HP-UX and AIX. Today, in addition to certified Unix systems such as those already mentioned, Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and BSD are commonly encountered. The term "traditional Unix" may be used to describe a Unix or an operating system that has the characteristics of either Version 7 Unix or UNIX System V. From Wikipedia under the

This is the basic program required to get it to read hard drive programs, configure the required hardware and produce a user interface. Unix was originally designed for specific architecture and would not run on an IBM style computer, which is what we now recognise as a PC, it was written for a specific and highly complex system to include network use, mostly via dumb terminals. These were basically just a screen with a keyboard. As it developed it became a full networking system very similar to networks we now use. The Linux kernel was developed from Unix to make it possible to use a PC as an economic networked machine without the security and performance issues of MS Windows.
