Proprietary Unix era

Proprietary Unix era
1984 dissolution of the AT & T, UNIX officially become a commodity. At that time, the Hacker culture is divided into two categories, one on the Internet and on USENET (mainly running the UNIX workstations or mini-computers connected to the network) and other PC fans, the vast majority of them are not connected to the Internet.
※ Translation: Taiwan in 1992 around connected to the Internet, the major players to exchange information telephone dial-up BBS, but there are regional restrictions, and also the development as USENET. Sun and other vendors for the manufacture of workstations Hacker to open another Brave New World. Workstations demands of the high-performance graphics and networks, committed to the 1980s Hacker to write software for workstations, and constantly challenges and breakthroughs in order to bring these features to play 101 percent. Berkeley to develop a set of built-in support for the ARPANET protocols UNIX, UNIX to easily connect to the Internet, Internet is also growing more rapidly.
In addition to Berkeley UNIX networks to significantly enhance function, try to develop a graphical interface workstations are also quite a number. The most famous MIT to balance the development of the Xwindow. Xwindow the key to success in a fully open-source, show a consistent style Hacker, and to spread on the Internet. X kill other commercial success of the graphical interface example, several years after the development of UNIX have a far-reaching impact and inspiration. ITS Sizhong were still a few of the recalcitrant, to the 1990 final, one Taiwan, and never shut down ITS buried; those Sizhong the end of its resources to send only under UNIX Xingxing and into the embrace.
UNIX are also split at this time for BerkeleyUNIX with AT & T two camps, then you may have read some of the posters, drawn above a titanium-wing aircraft in full swing away from an explosion in the top Yinzhao AT & T's trademark star's death. Berkeley UNIX supporter of the self-evident for the ruthless company Empire rebels. , On sales, AT & TUNIX always lags behind BSD / Sun, but its standard-setting win the war. To 1990, AT & T and BSD versions have been difficult to clearly distinguish between, because each other have adopted each other's new inventions. As the 1990s arrived, the status of workstations progressive new low-cost high-end PC's threat, mainly by Intel80386 series CPU. The first Hacker can buy power equivalent to 10 years ago, the mini-computer machines, above Paozhao a complete UNIX, and can easily connect to the Internet. MSDOS immersed in the world Jing Diwa still ignorant of these changes, only a small number of people from the early microcomputer are interested, at this time to play DOS and the Mac has exceeded the number of so-called "national network" of culture, but they always Cheng did not produce any climate or what the aircraft, although a little light Zhaxian works, but no stable development of a unified cultural traditions, terminology dictionary, the legendary and mythical history. They have no real network, can only be gathered in small BBS stations or networks such as the failure of some FIDONET. To provide Internet services companies such as CompuServe or Genie growing business is booming, the fact that non-UNIX operating system is not included because the compiler, and other programs such as the development tool, a source in the few disseminated on the Internet, and therefore can not be formed to develop software Atmosphere. Hacker's main culture is spreading throughout the Internet, can be said to be almost on UNIX culture. They do not care about what was on the computer, such as after-sales service, they need is better tools, more time online, there are a cheap 32 - bitPC.
With machines, the Internet, but the software where to find » The business of going to your UNIX, a set of thousands of the ocean better than ($). The early 1990s, started a company with AT & T will be transplanted to a PC BSDUNIX sale. Whether successful or not, prices did not drop, more important thing is not of the source code, you can not also not allowed to modify it to meet their own needs or taken to share to others. Traditional commercial software does not really want to have the Hacker.
Even FreeSoftwareFoundation (FSF) Hacker did not want to write the operating system, RMS commitment of the GNU operating system - HURD said for a long time, not to see the shadow of 1996 (although the beginning of 1990, FSF software can In the implementation of all the UNIX platforms).
