Personality

The essence of Heritage / 1 is in its personality. Paperback, restrained , and simplistic, industrious and eager for challenges, but unwilling to change its anatomy and its way of dealing with life. The historical context (1966-1972) to which I have restricted it is, perhaps, just a pretext to avoid contamination with the sophism that essence exaggeration of our time. Heritage / 1 has a personality that justifies their name and their sense of self, and it's just that what makes a project which leads to intimacy. Personality

also means culture and Heritage / 1 involves the culture of the 70s who is also the culture of UNIX. My dream for her is give her a Minix operating system like Linux or BSD, and although I'm not sure that that happens, the spirit UNIX living in it from this nascent stage design that is still.

acknowledge, however, I've been a bit exaggerated to hardiness. For example, I may not use ROM even though the crest of UNIX time (1975 onwards) and "minis" used semiconductor memory and up to 8-bit microprocessors in providing support, for example, in video -terminal. If Heritage / 1 had really existed in the 70s, probably had been perceived as a machine "too traditional" and unadventurous design.

However, the roughness (simplicity) is still the main attraction, give it up would be to destroy it before you have made birth. My challenge, in addition to really work, which is itself a major challenge, is able to develop useful software capable of running on a simple architecture.

Scholars (or curious, like me) on these issues, you know that Bell Labs UNIX arose in the hands of Dennis M. Ritchie and Ken Thomson, two hairy at that time wrote their programs in teletype terminals using assembly language, like everyone else. UNIX was perhaps, according to a witness's own Dennis Ritchie, the first "time-sharing operating system" in history, or at least the first to achieve mass acceptance. And this is important because it is derives this spirit of collaboration that is part of its essence.

Indeed, before UNIX, programmers often write their programs to tip pen and paper. Computers working in batch mode: both data and programs came from punch card readers or magnetic tape and programmers were happy to send their listings to the computer center, wait for the operators loaded, run and proven, They then receive a list of faults detected.

UNIX, being a time-sharing system, allowing developers to write directly on the machine (as we do today), and interact with their colleagues, encouraging and cooperative work environment. In fact, UNIX was initially conceived as a development environment not as an operating system! UNIX

surprised, then, to their authors. The collaboration came out of Bell Labs to universities, especially California, Berkeley, where he made notable contributions. Long before the term "Open Source" was popular (or even exist), of Berkeley went tape marked "Software distrubution Berkely (BSD), a version of UNIX that continues to develop under the same name.

UNIX is a traditional technique based on respect for its past is a living example in "Man pages": even in the most recent versions can be read exactly to the original texts of 1972, the command "dc" (desktop calculator), one of the first utilities written for UNIX at Bell Labs

I can not ensure that Heritage / 1 ever run UNIX. What I guarantee is their loyalty to the tradition that his name represents. Heritage times / 1 are the times genuine Rolling Stone, "Pease and Love" and "KISS" (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
