Kangangeminyaka emininzi sibukele isoftware itshintsha ngesantya esiphezulu, kodwa ulwazi oluninzi luye lwalahleka endleleni. Ukulungisa oku, umphuhlisi waseKhanada ogama linguAndrew Warkentin unikele iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini yobomi bakhe kumsebenzi omkhulu: ukudala IMyuziyam ye-Virtual OSIndawo apho imbali yekhompyutha ingafundwa kuphela, kodwa inokuchukunyiswa kwaye iqhutywe. Le projekthi ayilulo nje uluhlu lwamagama, kodwa yisiseko sokwenyani esivumela nawuphi na umsebenzisi eSpain okanye kwihlabathi liphela ukuba atshintshe izinto zedijithali ngaphandle kokuzikhupha.
Okwenza esi siphakamiso sahluke kwezinye ii-archives ezikwi-intanethi kukuba azikuniki nje umfanekiso wediski zize zizame ukukufunela wona. Imyuziyam yenzelwe ukuba ibe isebenza ngokupheleleyo ukususela kwisibini sokuqalakusetyenziswa imeko-bume I-Linux kunye neenkqubo zokusebenza zasimahla Ilungiselelwe kwangaphambili kwaye isebenza njengebhulorho. Le yinzuzo enkulu kwabo bangenalo ixesha lokusokola ngezicwangciso zeBIOS eziphelelwe lixesha okanye abaqhubi abaphelelwe lixesha, njengoko inkqubo iphatha wonke umsebenzi ongcolileyo wokulinganisa imvelaphi ngoko ke kufuneka sikhethe kwaye sonwabele.
Uhambo oluthatha iminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi asixhenxe yekhowudi
Xa singena kule myuziyam ebonakalayo, sidibana nekhathalogu edidayo xa uyijonga. Sithetha ngezinto ezingaphezu kwe-1.700 ezifakelweyo ezigubungela ezinye Iinkqubo zokusebenza ezi-600 ezahlukeneyo kwiiplatifomu ezingaphezu kwama-250. Uhambo luqala ngezinto zemyuziyam zokwenyani ezifana neManchester Baby ukusuka ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-40 kwaye luhamba luye kwiinkqubo eziqhelekileyo ezifana neeWindows Longhorn betas okanye iinguqulelo zokuqala ze iinkqubo zokusebenza mobile esikubonileyo ngo-2011. Ngokusisiseko kukuba nembali yekhompyutha efakwe kwifolda ekwikhompyutha yethu.
Ukwahluka yenye yamandla ale projekthi iWarkentin eyihlanganisileyo. Ayibandakanyi nje kuphela izinto eziqhelekileyo ezifana neMS-DOS, iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeMac OS, okanye iingenelo zeWindows kuzo zonke iinguqulelo zayo, kodwa kukho indawo yokuba iinkqubo zovavanyo kunye nophando njengePlan 9, i-Oberon, okanye i-Smalltalk. Kukwakho nendawo yeenkqubo ezazidumile kwiindawo ezithile okanye kwiimatshini zasekhaya ezazichaza isizukulwana, njenge-Commodore, i-ZX Spectrum, okanye i-Amstrad, ezivumela ilifa lobugcisa laseYurophu ukuba lihlale liphila kwaye lifikeleleka.
Ubuchwepheshe banamhlanje obusebenza ekulondolozeni izinto
Ngokwembono yobugcisa, iVirtual OS Museum yi-virtual machine enkulu esebenza kwiVirtualBox, QEMU, okanye i-UTM. Xa iqaliswa, ibonisa indawo yedesktop yeXfce elula kakhulu apho i-interface yayo iqaliswa khona. Ngale menyu, umsebenzisi unako tsiba ukusuka kwenye inkqubo ukuya kwenye Ngokucofa nje kube kanye. Eyona nto ingcono kukuba, ukuba ngempazamo saphula into ethile ngelixa silungisa izinto, le nkqubo inezifinyezo ezisivumela ukuba sibuyisele naluphi na ufakelo kwimeko yalo yefektri ngephanyazo—ilungele thina bantu bathanda ukuchitha ixesha apho singafanele sidlale khona.
Ngokuphathelele indawo yokugcina izinto, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba ukuhambisa ulwazi oluninzi kangaka kufuna indawo. Uhlelo olupheleleyo lwemyuziyam Ithatha malunga ne-174 GB xa sele ingasebenzi.Inani elifanelekileyo xa ucinga ngobungakanani besoftware equlethwe kuyo. Nangona kunjalo, kwabo banesithuba esincinci se-hard drive okanye uqhagamshelo lwe-intanethi olufanelekileyo, kukho inguqulelo yeLite emalunga ne-14 GB. Le nguqulo isebenza ngokukhuphela kuphela iinkqubo umsebenzisi akhetha ukuzivula nangaliphi na ixesha, okonga ii-gigabytes ezininzi ezingeyomfuneko ukuba ufuna kuphela ukuphonononga iindawo ezimbalwa ezithile.
Inzuzo yokwenyani kwicandelo leengcali eYurophu
Nangona ekuqaleni kunokubonakala ngathi yiprojekthi yokuchitha ixesha ukhumbula imihla yakudala, inyani kukuba isetyenziswa ngokucacileyo kubaphuhlisi kunye neenkampani ezintsha. Kwinkqubo yetekhnoloji yaseYurophu, apho kuhambelana neenkqubo zakudala kunye uphando lojongano lomsebenzisi Ukuba nale labhoratri ikufutshane kubalulekile; yinto yokunethezeka. Isenza sikwazi ukufunda ukuba zeziphi izigqibo zoyilo ezasebenza kwixesha elidlulileyo kwaye zeziphi ezaziyintlekele, nto leyo ethintela amaqela ophuhliso lwangoku ukuba aphinde iimpazamo ezifanayo zokusetyenziswa ezazilungisiwe kwiminyaka engamashumi amathathu eyadlulayo.
Ngaphezu koko, kwabo basebenza kwi-cybersecurity okanye kwi-digital forensics, i-Virtual OS Museum ibonelela ngendawo ekhuselekileyo hlalutya indlela isoftware eziphatha ngayo kwizakhiwo zakudala. IWarkentin ayiboneleli nje ngenkqubo yokusebenza engenazimbombo; uninzi lwezinto ezifakelwayo ziza nee-compiler, izixhobo zophuhliso, kunye neenkqubo eziqhelekileyo zelo xesha. Oku kusinika umfanekiso ochanekileyo ngakumbi wokuba kwakunjani ngokwenene ukusebenza ngezi matshini ngelo xesha, nto leyo ebonelela ngembali ebalulekileyo yoqeqesho lobugcisa.
Olu gcino-zincwadi lukhulu lwedijithali luzibonakalise njengenye yezona zixhobo zinamandla zokulondoloza ezikhoyo namhlanje, nto leyo ebonisa ukuba imbali yekhompyutha akufuneki ifikeleleke okanye ibe nzima ukuyibuyisela. Ngenxa yemizamo engaphezu kwamashumi amabini eminyaka, ngoku sinendawo apho Hlola ukuvela kwesoftware Kulula nje ngokujonga imenyu yanamhlanje, ukuqinisekisa ukuba ulwazi oluqokelelweyo ukususela ngo-1948 alulahleki kwii-hard drive okanye kwi-hardware elibalekileyo ekungekho mntu waziyo ukuba ingalungiswa njani.
