   1. a hierarchical file system incorporating demountable volumes 2. compatible

   file, device, and inter-process I/O 3. the ability to initiate asynchronous processes 4. system command language selectable on a per-user basis 5. over 100 subsystems including a dozen languages @jtdowney 9
10. 10.

    Why was UNIX successful 1. The UNIX system was written

    in a high-level language. 2. The UNIX system was distributed in source form. 3. The UNIX system provided powerful primitives normally found in only those operating systems that ran on much more expensive hardware. @jtdowney 10

    What does UNIX mean now? @jtdowney 14

    Officially it means 4 POSIX 4 Single UNIX Specification 4

    The Open Group certifies compatible systems 4 Solaris 4 OS X @jtdowney 15

    UNIX Philosophy 4 Write programs that do one thing and

    do it well. 4 Write programs to work together. 4 Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface. @jtdowney 19
20. 20.

    Functional operations on data 4 filter (grep) 4 map (sed

    / awk) 4 reduce (uniq / wc / awk) @jtdowney 20
