  • De Geschiedenis Van Linux Hans Lunsing
    De geschiedenis van Linux Hans Lunsing Linus Torvalds begon in 1991 met de ontwikkeling van Linux als vervanger van het voor hem veel te dure Unix, dat hem wel als voorbeeld diende. De naam Linux is dan ook een samentrekking van zijn naam Linus en Unix. Daarom kan de vroege geschiedenis van Unix worden gezien als de voorgeschiedenis van Linux.

  • Linux Versions
    Linux Versions The Linux "product" is provided in a large number of different versions, known as "distributions," each of which retains the core kernel and GNU tools. Additionally, a variety of common tools (such as KDE, Apache, and Samba) are backed with a collection of additions and service options that meet a particular market niche. Red Hat holds the largest Linux installed base in the US, Novell SUSE Linux in Europe, and TurboLinux (based in Japan) in Asia-Pacific. Mainstream distributions--i.e. commercial applications fully supported by their vendor—have typical license and maintenance fees, just as any other commercial software applications would, while community supported distributions tend to be free to users. Table below lists the best-known Linux distributors, as well as companies that support multiple versions of Linux versions developed by others.

Proprietary software in a non-default area. [3] Official website www.debian.org Debian (/ˈdɛbiən/) is an operating system composed of free software mostly carrying the GNU General Public License, and developed by an Internet collaboration of volunteers aligned with the Debian Project. It is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for other Linux distributions. Debian 2 Debian was announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock, and the first stable release was made in 1996. The development is carried out by a team of volunteers guided by a project leader and three foundational documents. New distributions are updated continually and the next candidate is released after a time-based freeze. As one of the earliest distributions in Linux's history, Debian was envisioned to be developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. This vision drew the attention and support of the Free Software Foundation, who sponsored the project for the first part of its life.
