Linux

Bagikan INTRODUCTION LINUX

The word "Linux" for now is not the place for internet users and communities that have hobbies students to try new software. Technically, short and can be said, Linux is an operating system that is multi-user and multi-tasking, which can run on multiple platforms including the Intel 386 processor or higher. This operating system to POSIX standard. Linux can be a good berinteroperasi with other operating systems, including Apple, Microsoft and Novell.
Linux name itself derived originally from the creator, Linus Torvalds, referring to the fact that a complete set of software that, together with the kernel compile a complete operating system. This operating system environment includes hundreds of programs, including compilers, interpreters, editors and utilities. Tools that support connectivity, Ethernet, PPP and SLIP, and interoperability. Software products that are reliable (reliable), including the development of the last version. Group of developers who are spread throughout the world who have worked to make Linux and portable to a new platform, also supports the community so that users have different needs and users can also participate and act as their own team of developers.


History of Linux.

Linux was initially created by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. Former Linux project is a hobby that diinspirasikan from Minix, a small UNIX system developed by Andrew Tanenbaum. 0:01 Linux version is done around August 1991. Then, on 5 October 1991, Linus announced the official version of Linux, the version that can only 0:02 to run bash shell (GNU Bourne Again Shell) and gcc (the GNU C Compiler). Currently, Linux is a UNIX system is complete, can be used for the network, software development and even for the day-to-day work. Linux is an alternative operating system that is much cheaper if compared with commercial operating systems (such as Windows 9.x/NT/2000/ME). Linux has a very rapid development. This is made possible because Linux is developed by a diverse group of people. These include the level of knowledge, experience and geography. So that these groups can communicate quickly and efficiently, the Internet becomes a very appropriate choice. Because the Linux kernel developed by the independent business, many applications available, for example, using gcc C compilers of the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project. Compilers are widely used in environmental Hewlett-Packard and Sun.
Today, many Linux applications that can be used for purposes such as offices for the spreadsheet, word processor, database and graphics editor program that has the look and function like Microsoft Office, the Star Office. In addition, there are versions available for Linux and Corel applications such as Matlab, which is known as the Linux Scilab.
Linux can be found in a variety of distribution (often called distributions). Distribution is a bundle of the Linux kernel, along with basic linux system, the installation program, basic tools, programs and other benefits in accordance with the purposes of making distributions. There are many Linux distributions, including:
RedHat, the distribution of the most popular, at least in Indonesia. RedHat distribution is the first installation and operation easy. Debian, the distribution to the stability and reliability, although the expense of convenience and kemutakhiran aspects of the program. Debian uses. Deb packages in the installation program. _ Slackware, a distribution that has been dominate in the Linux world. Almost all the documentation based on Slackware Linux. Two important things from Slackware, is that all content (kernel, libraries, or application) is that reliability. So may be slightly older but certainly stable. The second because he recommends to install from source, so that every program that we install the system fully optimized with us. This is the reason he did not want to use the binary RPM and up to Slackware 4.0, it still uses libc5 not glibc2 as the other. SuSe, the distribution is very popular with YaST (Yet another Setup Tool) to configure the system.
SuSE distribution is the first installation where you can use the Indonesian language. Mandrake, RedHat distribution is a variant optimized for pentium. If we use the computer to pentium top general, the way Linux can be more quickly with Mandrake. WinLinux, distribution, which is designed to install on a DOS partition (Windows). So to be on the run-click from Windows. WinLinux made as if the application is a program under Windows. And many other distributions, distributions that are available and which will appear.
