The Birth of "UNIX"
Forerunner to the birth of Linux began in the late 1960s at a company AT & T (American Telephone and Telegraph). At that time, AT & T in collaboration with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) works by using operating system called "Multics". Multics had a lot of problems, the biggest problem is the high cost incurred to run on the mainframe General Electric (GE 645). Subsequent developments were to be unsatisfactory.
However the use of Multics retained because it offers the ability multi user (shared use). The programmers have to work together and exchange information easily, and they are eager to be able to escape from the huge cost problems. Along with the development and improved financial, the group is trying to find a suitable replacement for Multics.
Ken Thompson, one of the group members AT & T, began designing a game called "Space travel", unfortunately this game also cost you a fortune to be played. When Thompson found a digital computer the PDP-7, along with fellow student Dennis Ritchie, they rewrote the game in assembler and move it by using paper tape. In the development of the game move they have put "command interpreter" and some basic commands to copy and move files
Beginning in 1970, Brian Kerningham, a developer other than AT & T proposed the name "Unix" as a pun on Minix (equipment to teach programming). Began a forerunner to an operating system called "Unix". Unix development team is asking for the PDP-11 computer to the management of AT & T, the more powerful machine than the PDP-7, but it is cheaper than all costs to be paid in advance.
