securitybreach Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Very neat stuff but sorry, this does not belong in BATL as it is not related to Linux. Topic is being moved to The Restaurant at the Edge of the Universe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 My Startpage-fu was not turning up much, but I found a research paper that implied Cassini ran an embedded Linux system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 It was a good machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 My Startpage-fu was not turning up much, but I found a research paper that implied Cassini ran an embedded Linux system. Well you know that it wasn't running Windows... Could you imagine a BSOD after it was almost to Saturn? All joking aside, nowadays most things like that would be running an embedded Linux anyway. I would actually be surprised if it were not running Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Well they must have needed a few years to develop Cassini so unless they developed their own os I guess they must have used one of these, 1993 FreeBSD NetBSD Newton OS Windows NT 3.1 (First Windows NT kernel public release) Open Genera 1.0 IBM 4690 Operating System Novell NetWare 4 OS/2 2.1 Slackware 1.0 Spring 1994 AIX 4.0, 4.1 OS/2 3.0 RISC OS 3.5 NetBSD 1.0 (First multi-platform release, October 1994) SPIN – extensible OS written in Modula-3 Red Hat [*]1995 Digital UNIX (aka Tru64 UNIX) OpenBSD OS/390 Plan 9 Second Edition (Commercial second release version was made available to the general public.)

securitybreach Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wow, surely you copied that list from somewhere and didn't actually look up each of those.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) Wow, surely you copied that list from somewhere and didn't actually look up each of those.... Not only looked them up I tried them all aswell and came to the conclusion that Plan 9 was the perfect space os. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_operating_systems Edited September 19, 2017 by abarbarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
