• now is also run on 'stand-alone' machines
January 16, 2007 Spring 2007 5
What is UNIX
• can be found on a wide variety of computer systems:– global computer networks like the World Wide Web– PCs often have Linux (a UNIX-type operating system)
or a variety of BSD installed (BSD = Berkeley Software Distribution, or Berkeley UNIX, one of the branches of UNIX)
– OS X Apple Macintoshes all run a form of UNIX– a host of free open software systems like FreeBSD,
NetBSD or GNU/Linux all are varieties of a UNIX-type operating system

History of UNIX
• UNIX was first developed in the early 1970s at Bell Laboratories in the USA (in collaboration with GE and MIT).
• AT&T (the owners of Bell Laboratories) made UNIX available at nominal cost to academic users, allowing researchers at universities to modify and extend UNIX.
• UC Berkeley was the first university to get interested in the UNIX system in 1973, a PDP-11 installed in 1974, and the computer science department used it for extensive research thereafter
• Columbia (1974), Santa Cruz (1979), MIT (1983 - Athena networked workstations)
January 16, 2007 Spring 2007 10
Different UNIX Systems
• System V (distributed by the original developers, AT&T)
• AIX (IBM)
• Berkeley BSD (from the University of California, Berkeley)
• SunOS, now known as Solaris (from the makers of Sun workstations)
• Xenix (a PC version of UNIX).
January 16, 2007 Spring 2007 11
UNIX Features
• written in the high level level language C– easy to install on new computing systems
• the UNIX operating system consists of – the kernel

– the shell• Provides the user interface to the kernel
• C shell (csh) is the original default shell for interactive work
