It s Linux, Mom! Not Lennox.

It Linux, Mom! Not to Lennox. For Lennox is a global specialist in air-conditioning, heating and refrigeration business. Dave Lennox helped to develop what was described as the first focus in the steel furnaces - 1895. His machine " & quot; having come a long way from that surprising in itself, but they are not necessarily appropriate for business productivity. While it is certainly consistent with the services provided by external sources, Dave & 39; s old Lennox might not easily be used for remote help desk or repair over the Internet. Linux, on the other hand, is the Unix - such as computer operating system, which does not allow full remote help desk services, IT outsourcing, and repair computer on the Internet, but can also be used to complete those tasks. In contrast to Lennox devices, Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free software and open-source development; underlying source code can be changed freely, use, and re-distribution by any person (with the attempt to Lennox). Although it had already been around a few years, Linux for the first time released to the public on September 17, 1991, to Intel& 39;s x86 PC architecture. Kernel been strengthened with the public utilities and libraries from the GNU project to find usable operating system, which subsequently led to the term alternative, GNU / Linux. Linux is now ready for use in various Linux distributions, which contains the nucleus sometimes modified by a variety of other software belts be tailored to different needs. Predominantly known for his use of Linux servers to obtain more and more popularity as a desktop operating system to mobilize support from companies such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Dell, Hewlett - Packard, and Novell. It is used as the operating system for a wide range of computers, including desktop computers, and supercomputers and video games systems (PlayStation 2 and 3, for example), and an integral part of devices such as mobile phones and tracks most, if not all, which lent money to reform itself easily over the Internet, and outsourcing for the repair and help desk services to remote areas. 1960ish: Unix computer operating system, as it is known unimaginable. 1970: Unix was released and widely used, modified and improved by business, academia and government. 1984; Richard Stallman quits his job at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and begin work on the GNU project. 1985: The Free Software Foundation, an organization to create and promote free software, was founded by Richard Stallman. GNU statement, a statement by Richard Stallman issue advocacy Free Software Movement, published in the March 1985 issue of Dr. dobb daily 1991: Minix wrote from scratch by Andrew Tanenbaum, born Us - Dutch Professor wanted to teach students Interior employer real operating system . It was designed to run on the Intel 8086 microprocessor, which has plunged the world market. Minix was not an extension of the imagination a supberb operating system. But for the first time, the source code is available. Those who got access to the book & 39; Operating Systems: Design and Implementation & 39; tanenbaum can obtain a 12000 lines of code, c written in the Assembly and language. For the first time, an aspiring programmer or Hacker source code can be read from the operating system, that while the software vendors have strongly guarded. Following in quick succession, Linux for the first time envisaged AA student of the second year computer science at the University of Helsinki and a self-taught Hacker, Linus Torvalds. At that time was just a hobby other hackers. But it is modest by Intel 386 machine Linus ran the first nucleus, Linux long way. Most now is used widely in the field of parallel supercomputing clusters. Version 0.01 was released on the Internet in September. 1992: January: The first group of Linux News: alt.os.linux founded in April Usenet: ARI lemmke begins popular Linux Usenet news comp.os.linux in November: Adam Richter announces the release of the first Linux distributions from his company: Yggdrasil 1993: June: Slackware, famous Linux distributions is a Peter volkerding in August: Matt Welsh versions of Linux installation and getting started: 1 version 1994: Linux is version 1.0, released in March. While it has a number of models for Lennox, Linux and many more. Although the Lennox has been around a lot longer (to know Dave Lennox died in 1947), Linux has between 50-80% of the market share of the Web server, making farms, and computer giant markets and increasing daily on the desktop until a Feat Dave old could not withdraw . That, Mom, and now do you understand? Mom! Mom! Tmm nilsa jonas
