Unix
IT Infrastructure and Networking
Unix is a family of multitasking, multiuser operating systems originally developed at Bell Labs in the late 1960s and 1970s, known for its modular design, hierarchical file system, and command-line interface. It established foundational concepts like pipes, shell scripting, and the philosophy of small composable tools that influenced later systems including Linux, macOS (built on a Unix-based core), and BSD variants. It remains foundational knowledge for systems administrators and software engineers.
