April 2000 Search Submit Article Contact Us Join Us Merchandise The Future of BSD? by Brett Taylor [email protected] In the past year there have certainly been a number of big developments that have had a big influence (if only in the public perception) on BSD. Apple has released Darwin as Open Source and it’s based on code taken from FreeBSD and NetBSD. Their new operating system, OS X, has this same BSD layer inside. Certainly that’s going to increase the BSD user base, even if most of its users don’t know about it. Of course one of the biggest events was the announcement of the merger of BSDI and Walnut Creek (read more about this in Greg Lehey’s Daemon’s Advocate). As Greg notes, there was a lot of grumbling concerning what this would mean for FreeBSD since Walnut Creek has been the primary financial backer for the project, but also how this would affect NetBSD and OpenBSD. At this point I think it’s far too early to make any serious predictions about what effects this is going to generate in the BSD world. What can we say then about the future? Is it bright and rosy? If you look at most any Slashdot item that mentions BSD you’ll see strong opinions from some (note I said some) Linux users that BSD should just roll over as Linux has already won. I don’t know what they’ve won, but that’s a separate issue I guess. I don’t think it’s good to have any one platform completely dominate the market. Many of these same people are Microsoft bashers because they feel Microsoft is completely controlling the market and is evil, and yet they want Linux to completely control the computer world (maybe Linus is a benevolent dictator). Regardless, I think that when someone like Apple steps in and uses BSD code it says something about the quality of the BSD codebase. Yes, it certainly made life easier for them since they were coming from NeXT (which was BSD-based), but if the code was poor they would have certainly gone some other way. I like to think of myself as an optimist. I think with the merger and Apple’s use of BSD code, we’ll see more native software ported for the BSDs (Apple, if you're listening I'd like a Quicktime player - I'd even pay for it). I look forward to seeing the coming merge of code between the BSD/OS and FreeBSD codebases, but I won’t be personally tracking -current unless I get another play machine to do it on - I’ll watch from afar for now. :-) I also am looking forward to playing around with Darwin and Mac OS X (when it comes out) on my new iBook which should be here shortly. So let’s look to the future with an optimistic eye - worry about the problems when they show up! Just a couple quick announcements: You’ll notice that we have a new Newbies’ Corner columnist on board with this issue. Jonathon McKitrick is a new FreeBSD user and if you are on the -questions mail list you’ve certainly seen his name. Being a new user, Jonathon can hopefully provide some new user insight that us old timers have forgotten (‘‘when I was a youngster we had to learn graphics programming on an Apple IIe using machine code’’). Welcome on board Jonathon. Finally, a warm welcome back to Nik Clayton with his series on managing websites using CVS and make. I’ve personally been waiting for the next article, as have many other readers who’ve written us, for too long. If anyone can lend Nik a hand with household chores to free up some more writing time for him that would be great. Author maintains all copyrights on this article.

April 2000 Search Submit Article Contact Us Join Us Merchandise Managing websites using Unix Part Four Copyright © Nik Clayton [email protected] This is the fourth in a series of articles explaining how to use the tools provided by Unix and clones (such as the free BSD implementations, and the various different Linux distributions) to manage the contents of a website, such as the free webspace that ISPs often give to their customers. There is nothing about the techniques described here (and in future articles) that limit them to small, personal websites. The author has successfully used these approaches to manage sites with thousands of pages and half a dozen active webmasters working on the site. 1. Isn’t this a little bit late? When I first started this series, I expected to be able to put out an article a month, for a total of six articles. Things were fine for the first three articles, and then my workload in real life went just a little bit mad. That’s why this article is roughly nine months over due. Sorry about that. My thanks to the various people who have e-mailed me over the past nine months or so with praise for the previous articles. You all acted as a very strong incentive to continue, and I hope you find this article, and the rest in the series, very useful. To refresh your memory, the previous articles were: Article 1 An introduction to CVS Article 2 An introduction to make(1) and a simple make install Article 3 A more complete make install 2. Introduction If you have followed the previous articles you should now have a framework you can use to install the files in your work area (which you have been adding to your CVS repository as you go) in to the staging area. This framework includes a number of simple Makefiles, which do little more than list the names of the files which must be installed, and a more complex web.mk, which is included in to the smaller files, and contains most of the logic. This article explains how you can use make(1) to help automate converting files from one format to another. In particular, it describes how you can covert image files from JPEG format to GIF format automatically, and shows how this technique can also be used to store binary files safely in the CVS repository. Note: Do not forget the CVS commands from the previous articles. You should use them to add and commit the files you write while following this article. Important: The sample Makefiles in this article are written for Berkeley Make, the default on the BSD systems. Some of these examples are not compatible with other make(1)s, such as GNU Make. Download a copy of Berkeley Make from http://www.quick.com.au/ftp/pub/sjg/help/bmake.html. 3. Pre-requisites 1. The sh(1) scripting language. While not essential, this will make it easier for you to follow some of the examples in this article. 2. The netpbm[1] utilities. These are a suite of command line programs to convert image files from one format to another, and they will be used in many of the examples. FreeBSD users can download them from graphics/netpbm in the ports collection. If you are using another OS then the original installation files can be found at ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/netpbm-1mar1994.tar.gz, and your OS might have ‘‘pre-packaged’’ versions of these programs available. You can use other image conversion tools if you prefer, but you will have to adjust the examples as necessary. 3. The Independent JPEG Group’s JPEG software. This is a set of libraries and some command line tools to help manipulate JPEG images. FreeBSD users can download them from graphics/jpeg in the ports collection.

  • The Strange Birth and Long Life of Unix - IEEE Spectrum Page 1 of 6
    The Strange Birth and Long Life of Unix - IEEE Spectrum Page 1 of 6 COMPUTING / SOFTWARE FEATURE The Strange Birth and Long Life of Unix The classic operating system turns 40, and its progeny abound By WARREN TOOMEY / DECEMBER 2011 They say that when one door closes on you, another opens. People generally offer this bit of wisdom just to lend some solace after a misfortune. But sometimes it's actually true. It certainly was for Ken Thompson and the late Dennis Ritchie, two of the greats of 20th-century information technology, when they created the Unix operating system, now considered one of the most inspiring and influential pieces of software ever written. A door had slammed shut for Thompson and Ritchie in March of 1969, when their employer, the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., withdrew from a collaborative project with the Photo: Alcatel-Lucent Massachusetts Institute of KEY FIGURES: Ken Thompson [seated] types as Dennis Ritchie looks on in 1972, shortly Technology and General Electric after they and their Bell Labs colleagues invented Unix. to create an interactive time- sharing system called Multics, which stood for "Multiplexed Information and Computing Service." Time-sharing, a technique that lets multiple people use a single computer simultaneously, had been invented only a decade earlier. Multics was to combine time-sharing with other technological advances of the era, allowing users to phone a computer from remote terminals and then read e -mail, edit documents, run calculations, and so forth. It was to be a great leap forward from the way computers were mostly being used, with people tediously preparing and submitting batch jobs on punch cards to be run one by one.

  • Mengenal Sistim Operasi *BSD
    Mengenal Sistim Operasi *BSD Ada banyak sekali tulisan-tulisan yang membahas tentang BSD, baik tulisan mengenai sejarah, system administrasi, sampai penggunaan BSD kepada end-user sebagai desktop. Tulisan ini memperkenalkan BSD sebagai alternatif lain dari Linux untuk memenuhi kebutuhan akan UNIX-like operating system di Indonesia. Dalam tulisan ini pula, dibahas mengenai beberapa hal yang membedakan antara Linux dan BSD, namun tidak memutuskan mana yang paling baik, karena untuk menentukan mana operating system yang paling baik digunakan adalah Anda sendiri. Daftar Isi 1. Sejarah 2. Distribusi Varian BSD 3. Model Pengembangan 4. Integrasi System 5. Software-software di BSD 6. System Administrasi 7. File System 8. Lain-lain 9. Kesimpulan Sejarah Hampir semua orang telah mendengar Linux saat ini. Namun apa itu BSD? BSD adalah singkatan dari Berkeley Software Distribution. BSD pertama kali dibangun dan dikembangkan oleh Computer System Research Group (CSRG) di University of California at Berkeley (UCB), BSD pertama kali keluar pada akhir 1977 sebagai paket tambahan dan patch dari AT&T UNIX version 6, yang mana waktu itu beroperasi pada mesin PDP-11 minicomputer. BSD pada akhirnya banyak memberikan kontribusi berharga pada pengembangan UNIX secara umum. Ada banyak fitur yang pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh BSD dan beberapa diadopsi dari AT&T dan vendor-vendor lainnya. BSD dibuat, dikembangkan, dan digunakan secara BEBAS sebagai perlawanan terhadap lisensi UNIX yang dimiliki oleh AT&T dan oleh karena itu BSD mempunyai lisensi tersendiri yang memungkinkan setiap orang bebas melakukan pengembangan, dan menggunakan source code BSD. Pada tahun 1993, 4.4BSD dirilis sebagai sebuah Operating System yang utuh. Untuk sejarah lengkap BSD di CSRG, mulai sejarah dari jaman kuda, motivasi orang-orang yang pertama kali mengerjakannya, sampai perseteruan lisensi dan hak cipta dengan AT&T, saya mereferensikan Anda untuk membaca tulisan yang dibuat oleh Kirk McKusick, “Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix“.

  • UNIX History Page 1 Tuesday, December 10, 2002 7:02 PM
    UNIX History Page 1 Tuesday, December 10, 2002 7:02 PM CHAPTER 1 UNIX Evolution and Standardization This chapter introduces UNIX from a historical perspective, showing how the various UNIX versions have evolved over the years since the very first implementation in 1969 to the present day. The chapter also traces the history of the different attempts at standardization that have produced widely adopted standards such as POSIX and the Single UNIX Specification. The material presented here is not intended to document all of the UNIX variants, but rather describes the early UNIX implementations along with those companies and bodies that have had a major impact on the direction and evolution of UNIX. A Brief Walk through Time There are numerous events in the computer industry that have occurred since UNIX started life as a small project in Bell Labs in 1969. UNIX history has been largely influenced by Bell Labs’ Research Editions of UNIX, AT&T’s System V UNIX, Berkeley’s Software Distribution (BSD), and Sun Microsystems’ SunOS and Solaris operating systems. The following list shows the major events that have happened throughout the history of UNIX. Later sections describe some of these events in more detail. 1 UNIX History Page 2 Tuesday, December 10, 2002 7:02 PM 2 UNIX Filesystems—Evolution, Design, and Implementation 1969.

It has evolved into a s ophisticated movement which has produced some of the most stable and widely used software packages ever produced. This paper traces the evolution of three operating systems: GNU, BSD, and Linux, as well as the communities which have evolved with these syst ems and some of the commonly -used software packages developed using the open source model. It also discusses some of the major figures in open source software, and defines both “free software” and “open source software.” Open Source Software: A History —page 1 Since 1998, the open source softw are movement has become a revolution in software development. However, the “revolution” in this rapidly changing field can actually trace its roots back at least 30 years. Open source software represents a different model of software distribution that wi th which many are familiar. Typically in the PC era, computer software has been sold only as a finished product, otherwise called a “pre - compiled binary” which is installed on a user’s computer by copying files to appropriate directories or folders.

  • BSD Based Systems
    Pregled BSD sistema I projekata Glavne BSD grane FreeBSD Homepage: http://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD je Unix-like slobodni operativni sistem koji vodi poreklo iz AT&T UNIX-a preko Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) grane kroz 386BSD i 4.4BSD. Radi na procesorima kompatibilnim sa Intel x86 familijom procesora, kao I na DEC Alpha, UltraSPARC procesorima od Sun Microsystems, Itanium (IA-64), AMD64 i PowerPC procesorima. Radi I na PC-98 arhitekturi. Podrska za ARM i MIPS arhitekture je trenutno u razvoju. Početkom 1993. godine Jordan K. Hubbard, Rod Grimes i Nate Williams su pokrenuli projekat čiji je cilj bio rešavanje problema koji su postojali u principima razvoja Jolitzovog 386BSD-a. Posle konsultovanja sa tadašnjim korisnicima sistema, uspostavljeni su principi i smišljeno je ime - FreeBSD. Pre nego što je konkretan razvoj i počeo, Jordan Hubbard je predložio je firmi Walnut Creek CDROM (danas BSDi) da pripreme distribuiranje FreeBSD-a na CD-ROM-ovima. Walnut Creek CDROM su prihvatili ideju, ali i obezbedili (tada potpuno nepoznatom) projektu mašinu na kojoj će biti razvijan i brzu Internet konekciju. Bez ove pomoći teško da bi FreeBSD bio razvijen u ovolikoj meri i ovolikom brzinom kao što jeste. Prva distribucija FreeBSD-a na CD-ROM-ovima (i naravno na netu) bila je FreeBSD 1.0, objavljena u decembru 1993. godine. Bila je zasnovana na Berkeley-evoj 4.3BSD-Lite ("Net/2") traci, a naravno sadržala je i komponente 386BSD-a i mnoge programe Free Software Foundation (fondacija besplatnog- slobodnog softvera). Nakon što je Novell otkupio UNIX od AT&T-a, Berkeley je morao da prizna da Net/2 traka sadrži velike delove UNIX koda.
