Star 35 Years of the UNIX Time-Sharing System
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 1st Jul 2009 20:19 UTC
General Unix "Earlier this year, people in many places wrote about the 40th anniversary of the moment Ken Thompson sat down and started to work on UNIX (which is actually in August). In fact, UNIX celebrates another birthday this year, even though on a slightly smaller scale. In July 1974, exactly 35 years ago, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson published the first version of their seminal paper The UNIX Time-Sharing System in the Communications of the ACM."

the creation of Unix Time Sharing System is a major milestone in general computer history, not just to unix-like systems.

Happy birthday

I think Unix also had a large part in the creation, ideas and fruition of the internet. Which, I think we could say, also had a pretty large impact.
