All, IEEE Spectrum have asked me to write a paper on
Unix to celebrate the
40th anniversary of the release of 1st Edition in November 1971. I'm after
ideas & suggestions!
...
Anyway, if you can think of good ideas/references
about the elegance of
Unix, especially from the design perspective, I would much appreciate them.
How about touching upon the fact that UNIX (& derivatives) have run & still
run on next to everything from a Cray or NEC SX super to a lowly SOHO
AP/router or a smartphone?
