/yoo'niks/ [In the authors' words, "A weak pun on Multics"] n (also `Unix') An interactive time-sharing system originally invented in 1969 by Ken Thompson after Bell Labs left the Multics project, originally so he could play games on his scavenged PDP-7 Dennis Ritchie, the inventor of C, is considered a co-author of the system The turning point in UNIX's history came when it was reimplemented almost entirely in C during 1972--1974, making it the first source-portable OS UNIX subsequently underwent mutations and expansions at the hands of many different people, resulting in a uniquely flexible and developer-friendly environment In 1991, UNIX is the most widely used multiuser general-purpose operating system in the world Many people consider this the most important victory yet of hackerdom over industry opposition (but see {UNIX weenie} and {UNIX conspiracy} for an opposing point of view) See {Version 7}, {BSD}, {USG UNIX}

An interactive operating system developed at Bell Labs This is the first operating system that was developed as a portable system This allows Unix to be used as an operating system on almost any kind of computer For example, we have Unix operating systems for PCs, Macintoshes, Suns, and even IBM mainframes TCP/IP was built into Unix even in its early days; the Internet was originally intended to connect different Unix systems into a network This link points to an introduction and discussion of Unix
Unix is an operating system originally developed by Bell Laboratories on mini-computers It became the main operating system for networked computers during the 80s, and is commonly used for business applications like database processing There are many variants or ``flavors'' of Unix, including Sun's Solaris, IBM's AIX and Hewlett-Packard's HP/UX

An operating system developed by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories in 1969, vaguely inspired by the advanced MULTICS system built by MIT Unix really took off after 1979, when Bill Joy at UC Berkeley released a version for Digital's VAX minicomputer Unix fragmented into a bewildering variety of mutually incompatible versions, thus enabling Microsoft Windows to take over most of the server market The only surviving variants of Unix are Sun's Solaris and Linux
