While there are quite a few excellent books covering the technical aspects of UNIX, there is a large amount of information that is not available in print. You can’t find it in your library, whether you look in texts, magazines or the manuals. Some information goes out of date too quickly. Some varies too much from installation to installation. Some (particularly product information) changes at people’s (and marketing moguls’) whims. Some information is simply best presented in a different form than the printed word. In the previous chapter we have tried to point you towards sources of durable information. This chapter will cover another world of information that we have classified as "nonprinted." We consider this to include classes, confer- ences and user groups. (Electronic bulletin boards which do provide a wealth of information are covered fully in the UNIX Underground chapter). Each of these are excellent sources for product announcements, product reviews, benchmarks and other transient information. 5.1 Conferences Should you go to a conference? Which one? Is it worth going across the country, or to a different country to attend a UNIX conference? The number of annual computing conferences is truly astounding. While the number of UNIX-specific conferences is a tiny percentage, even a UNIX mavin will find it impossible to attend all of the UNIX conferences. Fortunately, however, it is not necessary to attend them all. Indeed, you might question attending any of them. Perhaps you should be attending an application-specific 115 116 Nonprinted Information Conferences conference (such as SigGraph for graphics) rather than a graphics session at a UNIX conference. One thing to keep in mind when choosing a conference is to know what you expect to get out of it beforehand. Some things conferences are good at are: meeting UNIX movers and shakers, rubbing elbows with the gurus and wizards who have the right stuff. It is not unreasonable to go to a conference, specifically to talk to several people that are normally unaccessible, secreted away in corporate basements, only allowed out for annual shows, and just this occasion. These conferences always have job bulletin boards, where you can post your job opportunity and expect many knocks on your door later that evening. The majority of people recruited this way will be newly-graduated UNIX hack- ers with little outside experience, although disgruntled gurus will usually give the board a summary review just in case. Indeed, one of the first places that many startups become known (and gain notoriety depending upon the wording) is through their initial posting for employees on these bulletin boards. Many people are under the naive impression that this is the primary activ- ity at a conference. Actually, we have come to believe that this is the least important priority at a conference. Especially if you are a beginner, you cannot learn UNIX this way. After all, if you go to a week-long conference, how much can you expect to learn in five days? Answer: About five days’ worth. There aren’t any mystical concepts that require passage from the mouth of the master to understand them. With the right book, you can learn the same material, and do it at your own

  • The Development of Unix
    The development of Unix ∗ By Kasper Edwards Departmnent of Technology and Social Sciences, Technical University of Denmark Building 303 East, room 150, 2800 Lyngby, Denmark. (email: [email protected]) ABSTRACT This paper tells the story of the development of the Unix time sharing system. The development at AT&T and the MULTICS roots are uncovered. The events are presented in chronological order from 1969 to 1995. The Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) are presented as well as the Free Software Foundation and other.

Page 1 of 31 1.1 Introduction This thesis about Linux, however Linux is called a Unix clone in the sense that it looks like, and are designed on the same principles as Unix. Both Unix and Linux are POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) compliant (described in paragraph 3.29). In short POSIX describes the Unix user interface, i.e. commands and their syntax. Some Unix’es are certified POSIX compliant but no one have yet been willing to pay a third party company to test the POSIX compliance of Linux.

  • Jargon File, Version 4.0.0, 24 Jul 1996
    JARGON FILE, VERSION 4.0.0, 24 JUL 1996 This is the Jargon File, a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor. This document (the Jargon File) is in the public domain, to be freely used, shared, and modified. There are (by intention) no legal restraints on what you can do with it, but there are traditions about its proper use to which many hackers are quite strongly attached. Please extend the courtesy of proper citation when you quote the File, ideally with a version number, as it will change and grow over time. (Examples of appropriate citation form: "Jargon File 4.0.0" or "The on-line hacker Jargon File, version 4.0.0, 24 JUL 1996".) The Jargon File is a common heritage of the hacker culture. Over the years a number of individuals have volunteered considerable time to maintaining the File and been recognized by the net at large as editors of it. Editorial responsibilities include: to collate contributions and suggestions from others; to seek out corroborating information; to cross-reference related entries; to keep the file in a consistent format; and to announce and distribute updated versions periodically. Current volunteer editors include: Eric Raymond [email protected] Although there is no requirement that you do so, it is considered good form to check with an editor before quoting the File in a published work or commercial product. We may have additional information that would be helpful to you and can assist you in framing your quote to reflect not only the letter of the File but its spirit as well.
