Linux

                                   Linux 
Giselle Daniel - Cindi Carvajal

The story of Linux started 20 years ago, when Boris Yeltsin was named president was named president. In August 1991 a computer science student named Linux Torbalds published notes that later were important in the history of computers. This student created a program named Linux (because this was the name of the creator) Also, he said that he did it as a hobby. Linux spread around the world and developers would contributed to the Linux code. Linux named the core of his operative system and chose a penguin as his mascot after a minor incident at a zoo.

He chose the GPL license created by Richard Stallman. The Linux core had the GPL license and other computer basic but important liberties, like the liberty of using sofware with any purpuse, the liberty of change and share software, and also share changes done in the software.
now every 3 months is launched a new version of linux is thrown. use linux literally every time we surf the internt this on our phone, the TV running on 95% of computers.

                                                Clementina


Clementine, a computer of the mercury series was the first computer in Argentina. It was imported in 1960 with the help of Manuel Sadosky, who get borrow a credit to Bernardo Houssay of 300.000 dollar to buy a computer and was called the father of the Argentinian computing because he created the institute of calculus.



Clementine started to work in 1961 on the UBA (University of Buenos Aires) and was used for scientific and technological projects. Only had 5 Kb of ram and its size was 18 meters of long. With its small size of processing, its boot delay was as 2 hours, did not have a screen or a keyboard. The only form to get data was with punched paper tapes.


As Clementine needs a special system of refrigeration, was carried to a separate building. In this place was used day and night by 100 persons.
At 1971, Clementine pass to stay out of service because no had extra parts for repair.
In this moment, some parts are in La Plata and some parts are in the UBA.

                                        History of the internet
The history of the Internet begins with the development of electronic computers in the 1957. Initial concepts of packet networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, Great Britain, and France.
The US Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s for packet network systems, including the development of the ARPANET



 Packet switching networks such as ARPANET were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of communications protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, in which multiple separate networks could be joined into a network of networks.



ARPANET development was centered on the Request for Comments process, still used today for proposing and distributing Internet Protocols and Systems. It is known how  "Host Software"
