Аннотация
Since its creation in a Bell Labs attic in 1969, the Unix operating system has spread far beyond anything that its creators could possibly have imag-ined. It has led to the development of much innovative software, inf l uenced myriad programmers, and changed the entire path of computer technology.
Unix and its derivatives aren’t widely known outside a particular technical community, but they are at the heart of any number of systems that are part of ev eryone’s world. Google, Facebook, Amazon, and plenty of other services are powered by Linux, a Unix-like operating system that I’ll talk about later on. If you have a cell phone or have a Mac, it runs some version of Unix. If you have gadgets like Alexa at home or navigation software in your car, they’re powered by Unix-like systems too. If you’re bombarded by advertis-ing whenever you browse the web, Unix systems are behind it, and of course the tracking that knows what you’re doing so you can be more accurately bombarded is likely to be based on Unix as well.
