Emuva Esikhathini Esidlule: I-West Coast Computer Faire kanye ne-Damn Small Linux (15/4/2021)

Ingxenye yanamuhla yochungechunge lwethu "lwezomlando" izophinde ihlobane ne-Apple. Izokhuluma ngonyaka wokuqala we-West Coast Computer Faire, lapho, phakathi kwezinye izinto, kwethulwa ikhompuyutha ye-Apple II. Engxenyeni yesibili, sikhumbula ukufika kwesistimu yokusebenza ye-Damn Small Linux.

I-West Coast Computer Faire ibanjwe (1977)

Ngo-Ephreli 15, 1977, i-West Coast Computer Faire yenziwa okokuqala. Lo mbukiso wezinsuku ezintathu ububanjelwe eSan Francisco, eCalifornia, futhi ubuhanjelwe abantu abangaba ngu-12. Phakathi kokunye, i-West Coast Computer Faire iphinde yaba yindawo lapho ikhompuyutha ye-Apple II enenkumbulo engu-750 KB, ikhibhodi edidiyelwe, izikhala eziyisithupha zokunwetshwa okwengeziwe kanye nemifanekiso yombala enokucaca okuphezulu kwethulwe okokuqala. Idlanzana lochwepheshe emkhakheni wezobuchwepheshe bamakhompiyutha kamuva bavuma ukuthi kwakuyi-West Coast Computer Faire lapho imboni yamakhompiyutha izalwa, kancane noma ngaphansi, njengoba siyayazi namuhla.

Ukusatshalaliswa kwe-Damn Small Linux kwakuhloselwe ikakhulukazi amakhompyutha amadala afakwe amanye ama-microprocessors asekuqaleni we-Pentium futhi anenani elincane le-RAM. Ekuqaleni bekuwukuhlola kuphela, kodwa ekugcineni i-DSL yaba ukusatshalaliswa kweLinux okugcwele okudumile.
