Unix

Unix is a powerful, multiuser, multitasking operating system originally developed at AT&T Bell Labs in the 1960s. Known for its portability, efficiency, and flexibility, Unix has influenced many other operating systems, including Linux and the various BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) systems. This topic covers the history, architecture, and key features of Unix, as well as its various derivatives and implementations. It also explores Unix’s impact on modern computing, including its role in the development of networking, security, and software development practices.
