Linuxo Forumi

Da ga se dokopao, dokle li bi tek onda Unix dogurao. ;-)

To nema mnogo značaja danas, ta njegova izjava. Hajmo reći, istina je da je koncepcijski i "arhitekturalno" BSD kernel bolje koncipiran. Međutim, BSD ima manu što ima manju zajednicu, a i vođstvo je "mrtvije", da tako kažem, te je dospeo u situaciju da je daleko iza linuxa na desktopu. Šta bi bilo kad bi bilo, nemam pasulj pa da gatam, tek - tako je.

Cini mi se da u ovoj raspravi niko ne spomenu Prof.Ttanenbauma koji krajem osamdesetih napisa kernel za "Mali Unix" tj. Minix pa je onda Linus nesto kao prepravljao i napisao prvi linux kernel.

MINIX and Linux

The design principles Tanenbaum applied to MINIX famously influenced the design decisions Linus Torvalds applied in the creation of the Linux kernel. Torvalds used and appreciated MINIX, but his design deviated from the MINIX architecture in significant ways, most notably by employing a monolithic kernel instead of a microkernel. This was famously disapproved of by Tanenbaum in the Tanenbaum-Torvalds debate. Recently, Tanenbaum explained again his rationale for using a microkernel in May 2006. Early Linux kernel development was done on a MINIX host system, which led to Linux inheriting various features from MINIX, such as the MINIX disk filesystem format.i
