BSD, The Humble UNIX Family

October 30th, 2007 | UNIX, BSD by th | 4 Comments

Back in the beginning of the operating systems history, UNIX was the king of the scene. For the general public, UNIX might be the best known from Jurassic Park (“It’s a UNIX system! I know this!”). Although many use and know only Microsoft’s Windows operating system, UNIX (and alike) operating systems are still alive and well, and many might not realize they actually use UNIX systems every day - Internet literally runs on UNIX(-alike) systems. BSD is one operating system family that originates from the original UNIX source code.

Novell scores a big customer as Peugeot is slated to become one of the few large scale conversions to desktop Linux. Peugeot will convert 20 000 desktops to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, and will purhase 2500 SUSE Linux Enterprise Servers.

The usual claim in conversions like this is the training ‘because Linux is so much harder than Windows’. Well, gladly Peugeot seems to prove it wrong: “The new desktops do not require any special training, except for a quick, double page set of explanations”. Congratulations to Peugeot for dumping Windows in 20k workstations! I can hear chairs flying at Redmond…
