It wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and the dedication of the thousands if not millions of people who like to spend their free time hacking code. I salute you. Thank you. Many people spoke to me during the process of assembling this book, and it would be impossible to cite them all. The list should begin with the millions of people who write and contribute to the various free software lists. The letters, notes, and postings to these lists are a won- derful history of the evolution of free software and an invaluable resource. The list should also include the dozens of journalists at places like Slashdot.org, LinuxWorld, Linux magazine, Linux Weekly News, Kernel Traffic, Salon, and the New York Times. I should specifically mention the work of Joe Barr, Jeff Bates, Janelle Brown, Zack Brown, Jonathan Corbet, Elizabeth Coolbaugh, Amy Harmon, Andrew Leonard, Rob Malda, John Markoff, Mark Nielsen, Nicholas Petreley, Harald Radke, and Dave Whitinger. They wrote wonderful pieces that will make a great first draft of the history of the open source movement. Only a few of the pieces are cited directly in the footnotes, largely for practical rea- sons. The entire body of websites like Slashdot, Linux Journal, Linux World, Kernel Notes, or Linux Weekly News should be required reading for anyone interested in the free software movement. There are hundreds of folks at Linux trade shows who took the time to show me their products, T-shirts, or, in one case, cooler filled with beer. Almost everyone I met at the conferences was happy to speak FreeForAll/i-viii/repro 4/21/00 11:43 AM Page viii viii … ACKNOWLEDGMENTS about their experiences with open source software. They were all a great source of information, and I don’t even know most of their names. Some people went beyond the call of duty. John Gilmore, Ethan Rasiel, and Caroline McKeldin each read drafts when the book was quite unfin- ished. Their comments were crucial. Many friends, acquaintances, and subjects of the book were kind enough to read versions that were a bit more polished, but far from complete: L. David Baron, Jeff Bates, Brian Behlendorf, Alan Cox, Robert Dreyer, Theo de Raadt, Telsa Gwynne, Jordan Hubbard, James Lewis Moss, Kirk McKusick, Sam Ockman, Tim O’Reilly, Sameer Parekh, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, and Richard Stallman. There are some people who deserve a different kind of thanks. Daniel Greenberg and James Levine did a great job shaping the conception of the book. When I began, it was just a few ideas on paper. My editors, David Conti, Laureen Rowland, Devi Pillai, and Adrian Zackheim, were largely responsible for this transition. Kimberly Monroe suffered through my mistakes as she took the book through its production stages. They took a bunch of rambling comments about a social phenomenon and helped turn it into a book. Finally, I want to thank everyone in my family for everything they’ve given through all of my life. And, of course, Caroline, who edited large portions with a slavish devotion to grammar and style.

Two months later, on August 25, Linus Torvalds announced Casting the Net (1995), and The his new operating system on comp.os.minix. Today, Android, Google’s Daemon, the Gnu and the Penguin I (2008).

Linus was born into the Swedish minority of Finland (about 5% of the five million Finns). He was a “math guy” throughout his schooling. Early on, he “inherited” a Commodore VIC- 20 (released in June 1980) from his grandfather; in 1987 he spent his savings on a Sinclair QL (released in January 1984, the “Quantum Leap,” with a Motorola 68008 running at 7.5 MHz and 128 kB of RAM, was intended for small businesses and the serious hobbyist). It ran Q-DOS, and it was what got Linus involved: One of the things I hated about the QL was that it had a read-only operating system. You couldn’t change things ... I bought a new assembler ... and an editor.... Both ... worked fine, but they were on the microdrives and couldn’t be put on the EEPROM. So I wrote my own editor and assembler and used them for all my programming. Both were written in assembly language, which is incredibly stupid by today’s standards.

  • Appendix A. Installation and Troubleshooting
    The Almagest A-1 Appendix A. Installation and Troubleshooting Authors: Joseph T. Buck Christopher Hylands Alan Kamas Other Contributors: Stephen Edwards Edward A. Lee Kennard White A.1 Introduction This appendix consists of the following sections: • “Obtaining Ptolemy” on page A-1 discusses how to obtain Ptolemy. • “Ptolemy mailing lists and the Ptolemy newsgroup” on page A-2, discusses various forums for discussion about Ptolemy. • “Installation” on page A-3 discusses how to install Ptolemy. • “Troubleshooting” on page A-15 discusses how to find and fix problems in Ptolemy. • “Known bugs” on page A-32 lists known problems in Ptolemy. • “Additional resources” on page A-39 discusses other resources. A.2 Obtaining Ptolemy Ptolemy binaries are currently available for the following architectures: HP running HPUX10.20, Sun 4 (Sparc) running Solaris2.5.1,. In addition, Ptolemy has been compiled on SunOS4.x HPUX9.x, Linux RedHat 5.0, NetBSD_i386, IBM RS/6000 AIX4.x, SGI Irix6.x and the DEC Alpha Digital Unix 4 platforms. These additional platforms are not supported in- house and thus these ports are not tested and may not be complete. Installing the full system requires about 150 Megabytes of disk space (more if you optionally remake). The demonstration version of Ptolemy, “Ptiny,” only requires 12 Mega- bytes of disk space. All versions requires at least 8 Megabytes of physical memory. For the latest information on Ptolemy, get the Frequently Asked Questions list.

Minix era un pequeño sistema UNIX diseñado con propósitos académicos por Andrew Tanenbaum. Aunque Minix estaba basado en los sistemas Unix no utilizaba código fuente de Unix, con lo cual lo convertía en una implementación libre y sin restricciones de uso.
