2
00:00:01,650 --> 00:00:05,430
Let's look at Unix versus Linux and see what are

3
00:00:05,430 --> 00:00:08,430
the differences. But before we get into finding

4
00:00:08,430 --> 00:00:12,180
the differences, we'll find out what Unix is. Unix

5
00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:15,390
was first developed for multi user and multitask

6
00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:21,540
purposes in mid 1970s in Bell Labs by ATT, GE

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,480
and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,810
was an operating system but it was not allowing

9
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:32,040
for multi users or multitasking. So that was one

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,150
of the purpose for creating that. Then born Linux

11
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:41,760
in 1991, by a French student named Linus Torvalds.

12
00:00:42,930 --> 00:00:50,100
Linux is mostly free and Linux is open source. So

13
00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:53,220
what Linux free means is you could install the

14
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:56,370
Linux operating system in any of your computer

15
00:00:56,370 --> 00:00:59,610
hardware. There are a few Linux distributions that

16
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:02,190
are not free like Red Hat, where you would have to

17
00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:05,879
pay for support and subscription. And the open

18
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:09,810
source means that Linux code that was derived

19
00:01:09,810 --> 00:01:13,050
from Unix is actually open to the public, to the

20
00:01:13,050 --> 00:01:16,860
community, so they could go in and make changes to

21
00:01:16,860 --> 00:01:19,860
that code and make the operating system the way

22
00:01:19,860 --> 00:01:24,330
they want it to work in their own way. Unix is

23
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:28,140
mostly used by Sun and the operating system is

24
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:31,590
called Solaris. By the way Sun is now bought out

25
00:01:31,590 --> 00:01:36,300
by Oracle. And also other operating systems that

26
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:41,340
are Unix is used as HP-UX by HP, AIX, and some other

27
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:45,780
distributions of Unix. Linux is used mostly by

28
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:49,020
developer communities or companies like Red Hat,

29
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:55,260
CentOS, Debian, Fedora, SUSE, Ubuntu and there are

30
00:01:55,260 --> 00:01:59,040
so many of them even if you go out and search for

31
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,830
Linux distributions you will find so many of them.

32
00:02:02,940 --> 00:02:06,990
Unix is comparatively supports very fewer file

33
00:02:06,990 --> 00:02:09,570
system. Now what is a file system, that is

34
00:02:09,570 --> 00:02:12,449
something that we will cover later, but there are

35
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,180
fewer file system that supported by Unix operating

36
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:18,600
system and a lot more file systems that are

37
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:24,360
supported in Linux flavors. Linux can be installed

38
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:27,540
on a variety of computer hardware ranging from

39
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:30,270
mobile phones, tablet, video games consoles, to

40
00:02:30,270 --> 00:02:33,900
mainframe, and some supercomputers. It's just like

41
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:37,710
you cannot install Mac operating system on a Dell

42
00:02:37,710 --> 00:02:40,830
machine. You have to install Mac operating system

43
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:45,000
on a Mac hardware. Just like that Unix is only

44
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,480
installed on certain hardware, whereas Linux, you

45
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,750
could install pretty much on every hardware that

46
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:56,100
is out there running AMD or Intel processor. So

47
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:59,490
these are the few basics about Unix and Linux,

48
00:02:59,730 --> 00:03:02,250
and I hope you will find more information if

49
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:03,780
you're curious about it online.
