Hi folks,
I hope you are doing well.
I am a second year chemistry student and founder of my school's Unix user group.
Recently I learned that there is a student activity in which you can do a presentation on a topic you find interesting.
I am thinking of doing a presentation on the history of Unix and some of its features that makes it(or rather them) so successful.
My intended audience will be students and faculties from all department,with or without experiences with Linux/BSD/Solaris etc
My outline is as following:
Part 1:History:
How Unix was created because two AT&T researchers want to play a game
How its source code was spread to universities and research institutes,and got modified and improved.
How AT&T became greedy and led to the creation of BSDs and the GNU projects
Where Unixes and its derivatives are used today.
Part 2
emonstrations:
In this part I want to show my audiences some features of Unixes.I intend to do this with FreeBSD(Of course)
1.The shell.
I want to show how I can interact with the system using solely text-based interface without GUI,and it can be extremely powerful.
(I expect to see those who only used Windows to be amazed)
2.pipping
For this part,I wrote a simple C program used for removing comments in C source code,and demonstrate how I can cat "file_name.c" | comment_remover > removed.c This part might be also accomplished by similar demonstration
3.Everything is a file
In this part I will show how to redirect information from one tty to another using cat,and explain the principle behind.
This is basically my outline.If you have any comments or suggestions,I am very glad to know.
Live long and prosper
