SDF Public Access UNIX System

SDF (Super Dimension Fortress) is a long-standing public access UNIX system that has provided users with access to a range of computing services since its creation in the late 1980s. Today, it stands as one of the most enduring examples of a "community computing" platform, offering a diverse and active user base access to both modern and vintage technologies.

@xenotar Obrigado, este projecto também é muito bom :)

@xenotar Esta é uma boa referência: https://www.washington.edu/R870/img/Unix-variants.gif

@xenotar Conheço sim, apesar de não ter sido publicado. Se não me engano, os sistemas operativos UNIX-Like foram desenvolvidos com base na versão 5, certo?

@xenotar Na boa, aprendi ontem sobre este projeto :)

The ZFS (Zettabyte File System), a highly advanced file system, was created by a team of engineers at Sun Microsystems in the early 2000s. The primary person behind ZFS is Jeff Bonwick, a distinguished computer scientist, but the project was a team effort, with significant contributions from Matthew Ahrens, another lead engineer, along with other engineers at Sun Microsystems.
