Rediscovering UNIX Reliability in Linux
Overview In the last few months, UNIX-type systems have enjoyed a renaissance as the platform of choice for mission-critical and business-critical applications, as well as desktop and dedicated applications. Much of the resurgence of UNIX arises from the adoption of Linux and the success of the open source movement. A number of important technical factors conspire to make UNIX-type systems attractive to today's systems designers: reliability and fault-avoidance afforded by UNIX process-based memory protection, a modular, hierarchical application model, open "tinker toy" application building blocks, numerous options for distributed computing and high availability, standard networking built upon Internet Protocol, and broadly ported OS and application code targeting off-the-shelf CPU architectures.
