Unix/Linux

The Unix multi-user operating system is often used on servers, supercomputers and workstations because it is both stable and flexible. Furthermore, users of PCs at universities and research institutes often choose for Linux or Free BSD instead of MS-Windows because of the powerful programming development environment which is a standard feature of on these popular Unix versions.
X-Windows is a hardware-independent Window system, developed especially for Unix at the end of the nineteen eighties, with which graphic applications of one or more Unix systems can be used simultaneously on different workstations, provided these are connected to one another via the Internet. Such workstations can be a Linux workstation, any terminal or an MS-Windows PC on which an X-windows emulator is running, such as, for example, eXeed.
The power of Unix is still the tool concept. It opens the possibilityto connect many small sophisticated programmes (tools) in order to generate new powerfull commands. For this purpose the Unix user may choose from different work environments (so-called 'shells'), for example the Bourne shell and the C-shell.
