- I need to know the following:
- The evolution of UNIX systems
- major versions of UNIX systems [...]
-
- I don't want to do your homework for you, but I'll suggest a good book
- that will cover some of the points you mentioned.
-
- @Book{leffler:bsd,
- author = "Samuel J. Leffler and Marshall Kirk McKusick and
- Michael J. Karels and John S. Quarterman",
- title = "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX
- Operating System",
- publisher = "Addison-Wesley",
- year = 1989,
- keyword = "UNIX",
- comment = "This defines Berkeley Unix."
- }
-
-
- I would also like some comments on :
- "UNIX is one of the most important issues the
- operating systems industry is dealing with
- today"
-
- I don't think that "UNIX" is an issue. Using Unix-like operating
- systems is a trend, and whether that's good or bad is still undecided
- in my opinion.
-
-
- one more thing (as if the above wasn't enough)
- what are the main technical differences
- between all the UNIX versions.
-
- you must be joking. have you any idea how many Unix-like operating
- systems there are available?
