How was Linux originally produced?
 
Hello,
Today, if someone wants to produce a distribution of Linux or another operating system, he produces it on Linux or another operating system and can use a virtual machine for testing. What was Linux originally produced on? Unix?


Thank you.

If one trusts Wikipedia any more. Its article contents do change substantially over time and by the time some future reader finds this post the contents of that link might be quite different. Linux, as a kernel, is not too controversial ... yet ... but m$ does gain a lot through revisionism. So it might be worth looking at that page's history first, the actual diffs, not the summaries which are often misleading.

Anyway, there are some old school style paper books by well-respected authors covering the start of Linus Torvalds' Linux written before the fight got too political. One would be the book Rebel Code: The Inside Story of Linux and the Open Source Revolution by Glyn Moody. If you are in luck your one of your local libraries will have it available. Otherwise there are a lot of places to order it.

I heard some rumors, linux derived from a satanic session in swamp in a fullmoonnight. They: http://www.honeysuckers.rocks/?lang=...memLamborettes should have been involved, somehow...

ubuntu heavily advertises "emulation" as something everyone needs.

i've tried it: it's SLOW and takes allot of time to set up - all which is wasted when you require updates (which is in addition to all other unix configurations - on the top of)
