Proyecto Fin de Master CSI.- Universidad de Almería- Capítulo 1 INTRODUCCIÓN El presente documento se presenta como la memoria del Proyecto Fin de Máster (PFM) titulado “Creación de distribuciones Linux” que está asociado al Máster en Administración, Comunicaciones y Seguridad Informática de la Universidad de Almería. Siendo realizado en su total integridad por Rafael Monroy Caballero y supervisado por el director del máster, Julio Gómez López. Hoy en dia, no solamente se habla sino que se utiliza cada vez más sistemas operativos GNU/Linux tanto en el mundo empresarial, como en el doméstico, impulsados por las diferentes caracteristicas que cada vez hacen mejorar su rápida expansion en el sector informatico, como pueden ser por ejemplo, su bajo coste económico frente a otras ofertas, pudiendo llegar a ser dicho coste hasta cero, su fácil manejo e instalación asi como su robustez y fiabilidad entre otras muchas ventajas que se pueden encontrar. La posibilidad de crear un sistema operativo a medida ha provocado que cualquier entidad, organismo o en definitiva usuario, tenga un problema especifico, no habiendo sistemas operativos que solventen sus necesidades de forma directa, teniendo que reconstruirlos, mediante la instalación o eliminación de scripts o paquetes para asi desempeñar la tarea especifica requerida. Pero muchas veces no se sabe como se pueden hacer estos procesos de forma directa o a veces que esa mimsa reconstrucción se pueda distribuir a otras máquinas o usuarios con las mismas necesidades. El objetivo del libro es aprender a construir nuestra propia distribución de un sistema operativo GNU/Linux presentando diferentes posibilidades para ello. El libro se divide en los siguientes capítulos: ••• Capítulo 1. Introducción. Se inicia el documento haciendo una breve descripción junto con la planificación de los proyectos construidos. ••• Capítulo 2. Descripción de una distribución. En el segundo capítulo, se describe que es una distribución y sus variantes, además de hacer una aproximación a la gran cantidad de distribuciones que se pueden encontrar en el mercado, mediante clasificaciones de cada una de ellas según caracteristicas diferenciadoras. 9 Distribuciones Linux. Proyecto Fin de Master CSI.- Universidad de Almería- ••• Capítulo 3. Creación de una distribución. En este capítulo, se describen las diferentes posibilidades y herramientas que existen para la creación de distribuciones dependiendo de la base que se quiera tomar. ••• Capítulo 4. Implementación usando una base. Se analizan las diferentes herramientas existentes en el mercado que permiten la creación de distribuciones basadas en otra previa. Además se aprenderá a instalar y configurar tales aplicaciones asi como la creación de diferentes ISO basadas en la distribución Ubuntu ••• Capítulo 5. Implementación desde cero. Se estudia la metodologia junto con las diferentes politicas a seguir para la creación de una distribución sin basarse en ninguna previa hasta llegar a la implementación. Se aprenderá a configurar un sistema desde su raíz. 1.1 PLANIFICACIÓN La planificación de tareas para la realización del proyecto se detalla a continuación : (01 Julio – 15 Julio): documentación inicial sobre la creación de distribuciones GNU/Linux. (16 Julio -19 Agosto): implementación de un sistema GNU/Linux creado desde cero. (20 Agosto – 31 Agosto): implementacion de sistemas GNU/Linux utilizando una base.

However, the choice of relevant benchmarks still remains a challenge. To help the process of comparing and choosing among benchmarks, we propose a solution for automatic benchmark profiling. It computes unified benchmark profiles reflecting benchmarks’ duration, function repartition, stability, CPU efficiency, parallelization and memory usage.

  • History of Linux from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    History of Linux From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The history of Linux began in 1991 with the commencement of a personal project by Finnish student Linus Torvalds to create a new free operating system kernel. Since then, the resulting Linux kernel has been marked by constant growth throughout its history. Since the initial release of its source code in 1991, it has grown from a small number of C files under a license prohibiting commercial distribution to the 4.2.3 version in 2015 with more than 18 million lines of source code under the GNU General Public License v2.[1](p7)[2][3] Contents 1 Events leading to creation 2 The creation of Linux 3 Naming 4 Linux under the GNU GPL 5 GNU/Linux naming controversy 6 Official mascot 7 New development 7.1 Community 7.2 Open Source Development Lab and Linux Foundation 7.3 Companies 7.4 Desktop environments 8 "Linux is obsolete" 9 Competition from Microsoft 10 SCO 11 Trademark rights 12 Chronology 13 See also 14 References 15 External links Events leading to creation After AT&T had dropped out of the Multics project, the Unix operating system was conceived and implemented by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie (both of AT&T Bell Laboratories) in 1969 and first released in 1970. Later they rewrote it in a new programming language, C, to make it portable. The availability and portability of Unix caused it to be widely adopted, copied and modified by academic institutions and businesses. In 1977, the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) was developed by the Computer Systems Research Group (CSRG) from UC Berkeley, based on the 6th edition of Unix from AT&T.

Gonzalo Ord´o~nez{Matamoros Email: [email protected] Telephone: +31 53 489 3348 Office: Ravelijn RA 4333 (STEPS) 1 Abstract Open source software development is a major driver of software innovation, yet it has thus far received little attention from innovation research. One of the reasons is that conventional methods such as survey based studies or patent co-citation analysis do not work in the open source communities. In this thesis it will be shown that open source development is very accessible to study, due to its open nature, but it requires special tools. In particular, this thesis introduces the method of dependency graph analysis to study open source software devel- opment on the grandest scale. A proof of concept application of this method is done and has delivered many significant and interesting results.

As of April 28th, 2013, the originator's direct development has ceased.[1] As of April 29th, 2013, development (project "fork") is in transition to new supporters Wikipedia 20131003 OCLUG 3 Steps 1 ● Have a running system (!# Statler in VBox) – #! linux, thunar, alsaplayer – No password login, autostart in Thunar, also log off script – Clean out unnecessary programs (Bleachbit) – Make sure mp3 player etc. Works – Set up area for dance music (mp3) and instructions (txt). Other choices possible – Did not put mp3's in place – size/copyright 20131003 OCLUG 4 Steps 2 ● Install remastersys ● When I did it, there was a PPA. Not tried since ● I was running !# in a VirtualBox VM ● Become root (sudo su) ● sudo remastersys backup custom.iso ● ......
