Computer keyboard

A computer keyboard is a peripheral input device modeled after the typewriter keyboard which uses an arrangement of buttons or keys to act as mechanical levers or electronic switches.

See Status key and Computer keyboard

Computer program

A computer program is a sequence or set of instructions in a programming language for a computer to execute.

See Status key and Computer program

Computer terminal

A computer terminal is an electronic or electromechanical hardware device that can be used for entering data into, and transcribing data from, a computer or a computing system.

See Status key and Computer terminal

Computing

Computing is any goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computing machinery.

See Status key and Computing

FreeBSD

FreeBSD is a free and open-source Unix-like operating system descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).

See Status key and FreeBSD

GitHub

GitHub is a developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage and share their code.

See Status key and GitHub

History of the Berkeley Software Distribution

The history of the Berkeley Software Distribution begins in the 1970s.

Incompatible Timesharing System

Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS) is a time-sharing operating system developed principally by the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, with help from Project MAC.

See Status key and Incompatible Timesharing System

Lisp (programming language)

Lisp (historically LISP, an abbreviation of "list processing") is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized prefix notation.

See Status key and Lisp (programming language)

List of BSD operating systems

There are a number of Unix-like operating systems under active development, descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) series of UNIX variants developed (originally by Bill Joy) at the University of California, Berkeley, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

See Status key and List of BSD operating systems

OpenVMS

OpenVMS, often referred to as just VMS, is a multi-user, multiprocessing and virtual memory-based operating system.

See Status key and OpenVMS

Operating system

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

See Status key and Operating system

OSF/1

OSF/1 is a variant of the Unix operating system developed by the Open Software Foundation during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

See Status key and OSF/1

Raytheon BBN

Raytheon BBN (originally Bolt Beranek and Newman Inc.) is an American research and development company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.

See Status key and Raytheon BBN

RSTS/E

RSTS is a multi-user time-sharing operating system developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC, now part of Hewlett-Packard) for the PDP-11 series of 16-bit minicomputers.

See Status key and RSTS/E

SDS 940

The SDS 940 was Scientific Data Systems' (SDS) first machine designed to directly support time-sharing.

See Status key and SDS 940

Signal (IPC)

Signals are standardized messages sent to a running program to trigger specific behavior, such as quitting or error handling.

See Status key and Signal (IPC)

TENEX (operating system)

TENEX is an operating system developed in 1969 by BBN for the PDP-10, which later formed the basis for Digital Equipment Corporation's TOPS-20 operating system.

See Status key and TENEX (operating system)

TOPS-10

TOPS-10 System (Timesharing / Total Operating System-10) is a discontinued operating system from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for the PDP-10 (or DECsystem-10) mainframe computer family.

See Status key and TOPS-10

TOPS-20

The TOPS-20 operating system by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) is a proprietary OS used on some of DEC's 36-bit mainframe computers.

See Status key and TOPS-20

XNU

XNU ("X is Not Unix") is the computer operating system (OS) kernel developed at Apple Inc. since December 1996 for use in the Mac OS X (now macOS) operating system and released as free and open-source software as part of the Darwin OS, which, in addition to being the basis for macOS, is also the basis for Apple TV Software, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS.
