Hi all,
I have to do a presentation in my systems analysis class, and I am planning
to do a presentation on BSD.
The audience: Systems Analysis type (as opposed to hackers), who know very
little about UNIX, except for how to write a few shell scripts.
(As this was the emphasis of their intro to UNIX).
Because the class is systems analysis, and because I only have 20 minutes
I will probably only spend about about 5 minutes on stability and use as
a networking powerhouse. I plan to include an introduction to X, which I
know for a fact nobody knows anything about, and am considering the following:
- Use of *BSD as basis for new operating systems (Rhapsody)
- Use of *BSD in artificial intelligence
- Use of *BSD in industry --> I plan to concentrate on areas other than
Internet servers, but if someone can throw
me a few more names like Yahoo! and Walnut Creek,
I would do a blurb about them.
- Use of *BSD in serious research areas. I guess this would be engineering and
science.
I'm sure I can find some information on the net, but tapping into the excellent
BSD brain-pool is too tempting. This presentation may spark a bit of interest
in BSD (although my audience is only about 25 ppl), so if you can toss me a
URL or two, I'd appreciate it.
