UNIX

UNIX is a family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, development starting in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research center. The OS made it possible for a lot of users to interact with a single machine at the same time. Before, this was done by a batch process via an operator/administrator.
