originally developed and owned by AT & T. It was developed by a team which

Mcllroy, and Brian Kernighan. The development of UNIX started in 1969. It was
initially intended for use within Bell Labs.
But it became available to the
outside clients in 1973. UNIX is written in C programming language and other
assembly languages. It is based on two default interfaces namely graphical and
command line. It is based on monolithic kernel system, commands, document
formatting, commands, documentation, development environment, utilities, and
graphics. UNIX can run on inexpensive hardware systems. That is why it became
extremely popular as a operating system.
It was available for educational
use at a nominal fee. But there are many variants available of UNIX. Some of
them are free for use but others are proprietary. UNIX has been modified for a
number of times so that it becomes more suitable and effective in its use.
There are many variants or clones of UNIX. Linux is the most popular and
effective among those clones.
