  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 1
    INTRODUCTION It is advised that you refer to www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/ for updates, issues specific with unique computer configurations, and engineering notes. Please note that this Guide to Install is an addendumto that which is presented on-screen during the installation process. It is not meant to be used as a stand- alone document. Instead, it is designed to provide extra guidance for those portions of the installation process that may otherwise be confusing or tricky. Drive Configurations You may use either a single drive for both Yellow Dog Linux and Mac OS or you may use two or more drives. If you do install at least two drives, one for YDL and the second drive for Mac OS, it is advised that the Yellow Dog Linux drive be placed first in the ATA or SCSI chain (at the time of this writing, neither USB nor FireWire drives are supported as bootable media). To install both operating systems on a single drive, you will require a minimum of two partitions. Unless you have a drive properly configured as such, you must either boot from the Mac OSCD and reformat then reinstall Mac OS (using the Drive Setup application) or use a 3rd party, non-destructive partitioning tool prior to installing Linux. Be certain to back-up all important Mac OS applications and data before working with any partitioning tool. PREPARATION Single Drive: Multi-Boot System with either BootX or yaboot You are now going to use Apple's Drive Setup application to format and partition your drive. Please note that this procedure completely reformats and DESTROYS ALL DATA on your drive.
