development of a programmer who lives in South Africa and has prepared a version for x86 operating system UNIX v7 , launched no less than in 1979 and was the last version of Bell Laboratories before AT & T began its distribution in the 80.

 500x277 unixv7 PDP11 back in time: Unix v7 on a virtual machine

As shown in the Wikipedia, this version of UNIX was designed to PDP-11 minicomputers , but was “remade” to other platforms later.

Although obviously

‘ll be very limited by a system as old , you can surely satisfy your curiosity to know what could yield this platform in your current equipment. To do this you only have to download the version, which also has an edit virtual machine format to test it smoothly and safely.

You can find more information on this curious project on the official website of it in Nordier & Associates, the computer consulting business of this unique developer.

has made a good effort to join multiple movie clips and series in which one or another form appeared Unix, Linux and Open Source Software on the computers of its protagonists, and the result is singular.

clips (in English, of course) are taken from films such as Matrix Reloaded, Jurassic Park, Tron Legacy or series Big Bang Theory, and certainly many of them recognize … if not all. We leave you with this cool-is-short video, you’ll enjoy it;)

speak of Odyssey, a project to revolutionize the future of mission-critical computing with a unified development roadmap Unix and architectures x86 servers in a single platform that will offer higher performance and freedom of choice for HP customers.

 hp 500x274 Odyssey2 Odyssey: mission-critical computing and x86 Unix

Currently, companies have to face service level agreements and also under pressure to be more efficient with their IT budgets and resources. They need the availability and flexibility offered by Unix platforms combined with the familiarity and cost efficiencies offered by industry-standard platforms.

Using advanced technology

on a common modular architecture HP BladeSystem , HP is developing platforms that allow customers to choose the environment that best suits the needs of their organizations, without any commitment, thus helping to protect their long-term investments. The new HP’s development roadmap includes new features in HP Integrity servers , in HP Nonstop systems and operating systems HP-UX and OpenVMS .

Linux users have reason to be sad today . Dennis Ritchie died last weekend, although I have not heard until just a few minutes.

 Dennis Ritchie Dennis Ritchie 459x500 dies, the father of C and Unix

Ritchie was the head of the creation of the C programming language and one of the two parents of the Unix operating system with Ken Thompson, and therefore is a legend in the computer world .

Dennis Ritchie was born in 1941 in Bronxville (NY, USA), and graduate from Harvard with a degree in mathematics and a doctorate in physics before joining Bell Labs in 1968 .

was there that he forged the legend Ritchie the Unix operating system developed by Ken Thompson in a DEC PDP-11 computer , and both released the first version of this system in 1971. He laid the foundation and launch of many of the early concepts used in today’s operating systems, Unix and indeed has been the cornerstone of the current development of the Linux operating system and has implications for virtually all platforms available.

But it did not stop there: two years later Ritchie developed the C programming language after taking ocmo base programming language B, which had been developed by engineers at Dell. Somewhat later wrote what is probably the most famous programming book in history, “The C Programming Language”, with Brian Kernighan.

is indeed a sad day for all who now enjoy a computer that has been a little orphan .

D.E.P.

Dennis Ritchie .

Miguel de Icaza is one of the personalities Open Source . Although his last steps in this segment have been somewhat controversial because of their affiliation to the world-Mono Microsoft recognizes Icaza, Open Source is an implementation. NET, do not forget that de Icaza was the founder of the GNOME project, and other projects.

 unix 500x361 essential book for understanding the foundations of Unix

Just

diving in his biography I found a fact that did not know De Icaza is the creator of Midnight Commander , a myth of Linux utilities “console” and very popular used by Linux users around the world.

and this program has now spoken on his blog, one of the best names in the blogosphere in my opinion, tyranny is surprised to see how many users of Linux and Mac OS X not have a sufficient basis to understand to what extent can control their operating systems.

Hence we encourage everyone to read some books on the topic and also follow some tutorials and using some tools. The tips below:

  • Unix Programming Environment : This book by Kernighan and Pike covers many of the characteristics of modern Unix systems, but according to de Icaza is an essential book for understanding the basis of many components.
  • fot the Impatient Unix : is a book much easier to read, with practical help and allowing us to enjoy reading, according to the original post, from beginning to end.
  • Emacs : Here things start to get complicated, because I know for a fact that many of you readers muylinuxeros, you use alternatives such as vi / vim or nano. But advocates Icaza Emacs and strongly recommended to follow his entire tutorial, which you can access by launching Emacs and then pressing the Ctrl-h and then t. Over the next 2 hours we will understand the operation of an editor … goes far beyond being an editor.
  • Midnight Commander : a little self-promotion here talking about the advantages of using MC as a file browser instead of performing these operations from the terminal. The truth is that it is a good idea to save time in many operations, especially if we learn the long list of keyboard shortcuts that optimize the use of Midnight Commander.
  • Unix Power Tools
  • : According to de Icaza, this book is a compilation of tips written by some of the most experienced users of Unix. The truth is that it looks great.
  • last tip de Icaza is more curious, and is learn typing with applications such as Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing (do not know if it is available in Castilian, I guess because it’s pretty famous), although one of the comments here vote for a much more fun to learn to type: The Typing of the Dead game, which I fear is only in English, but it must be pretty original.
  • original and interesting collection sure I can be helpful . Especially coming from someone like Miguel de Icaza, who has quite a few tables in this world of Linux and Open Source;)

     Robert Morris Robert Morris 500x357 dies, a parent of UNIX

    Robert Morris, a genius of cryptography and one of the founding fathers of the Unix operating system, has died at age 78 . As recounted in the New York Times, Morris, who graduated in mathematics from Harvard in 1957, he worked at Bell Laboratories of AT & T from 1960 to 1986.

    Morris was there that he wrote the math library for UNIX, encryption program, and the encryption scheme to be used for user authentication UNIX in later years.

    Roebrt

    Morris’s death and leaves us without one of the heads of the birth of the first UNIX operating system, and therefore one of the parents of all the software has emerged as a result of the birth of UNIX. Of course, platforms like Linux, or Solaris Android are based on these premises created by Morris and other legends of computing.

    Robert Morris

    leaves a wife, a daughter and two sons, one of whom is Robert Tappan Morris, creator of what is normally considered as the first Internet worm , the infamous worm Morris Internet.
