unix rose from the ashes of a multi-organizational effort in the early 1960s to develop a dependable timesharing operating system. after three decades of use, the unix- computer operating system is still regarded as one of the most powerful, versatile, and flexible operating system in the computer world. its popularity is due to many factors, including its ability to run a wide variety of machines, from micros to supercomputers, and its portability, all of which led to its adoption by many manufacturers. the system also fostered a distinctive approach to software design, solving a problem by interconnecting simpler tools, rather than creating large monolithic application programs. its development and evolution led to a new philosophy of computing, and it has been a never-ending source of both challenges and joy to programmers around the world.

how to spot people who enjoy unix: these deluded and solitary individuals will often exhibit many of the following characteristics –

– mostly male
– enjoy real ale
– sport long hair (usually greasy) & often beards
– wear t-shirts 2 sizes too small that fails to conceal a hairy beer belly underneath
– have a number of keys dangling from a keyring
– are socially challenged
– will quote lines from episodes of star trek
– enjoy heavy rock / metal music. note: occ-ssionally an older unix techhead will admit to a liking of folk music – these individuals are very dangerous and should be avoided… worse still is the unix nerd who enjoys prog rock – anyone with an early genesis alb-m in their music collection should be treated with suspicion
