When: September 19, 2001 7:00PM Topic: UNIX History Presented by Thomas Teixeira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Location: MIT Building 4-370 I originally had asked Clem Cole to speak, however he will be travelling and is unable to attend. However, Tom Teixeira graciously agree to stand in for Clem. While UNIX was developed at Bell Laboratories, its spread through the academic world was a result of an open source ethic which both accelerated the rate of adoption and the rate of development of the UNIX system and other fundamental changes in the design of computer systems and software. The UNIX culture of sharing code and the commercialization of UNIX in the 1980's provided the environment for Linux to appear in the 1990's.
