20 network-changing products in20 years 自己理解的中文版稍后才有.请稍候。。。
Now, let's move on to our list of products and technologies and their companies, listed in chronological order, starting with the earliest:


SNIFFER

Network General
1986

While very expensive (in the $60,000-plus range), this product, in its original Compaq II portable incarnation, was the first easy-to-use network diagnostic tool. The company then shipped Sniffer Distributed in 1991 and has since produced versions that peer into Gigabit Ethernet, wireless networks and even into the applications riding over them.

NOTES

Lotus (now IBM)
1989

As the first true commercial workgroup application, more than 35,000 copies of Lotus Notes 1.0 were sold during the first year it was on the market. The system requirements were either DOS 3.1 or OS/2 on the client and either DOS 3.1, 4.0 or OS/2 on the server.

NETWARE 3.x

Novell
1989

This was the version of NetWare that improved network-operating system administration for large numbers of client machines and significantly speeded NetWare adoption. It was also the version for which developers, via Network Loadable Modules, could tie into the network other services, such as anti-virus software and backup, database and Web servers. With NetWare 4.x, Novell added its Novell Directory Services to the base product in 1993 and then acknowledged the importance of the Internet when it picked up TCP/IP support as its primary network protocol in 1998, with the rollout of NetWare 5.x.

WAVELAN family of wireless LAN products

AT&T Network Systems (later became Lucent)
1990

Based on a draft standard that would later become IEEE 802.11, this first family of WLAN products comprised the WaveLAN PCMCIA network cards for notebook and portable computers; WaveLAN/ISA software for AT-bus desktop computers; WavePOINT wire-to-wire access point; WaveAROUND roaming software; WaveMONITOR site-installation survey program; and WaveMODEM system to integrate WaveLAN technology into OEM products. Together they allowed folks to connect any machine anywhere and help propel wireless networking to the level of importance that the wired side already held. Lucent shipped a fully 802.11-compliant suite of WaveLAN products in April 1998.

10BASE-T hubs

Synoptics
1991

Synoptics' early work on 10Base-T devices freed the network industry from coax cable, transceivers and taps. It allowed networking to occur at decent speeds over common twisted-pair wiring. Synoptics went on to merge with Wellfleet to form Bay Networks, which was purchased by Nortel in 1998. Today, the overwhelming majority of networking to client PCs is done over further versions of 10Base-T, including 100Base-TX (two-pair 100Mbps Ethernet) and 1000Base-T versions (gigabit over twisted pairs).

LINUX

open source
1991

As the first completely open source operating system, it became the most dominant platform for innovative network products since Linus Torvalds released Version 0.02 of the Linux kernel. It might not be as pervasive on the desktop or server installation as people were expecting it to be by now, but it set the stage for Darwin/OS X, which rejuvenated Apple as another challenge to Microsoft's Windows-everywhere charge.

E文版，看不懂。

Darwin/OS X 是基于freeBSD的，熊熊的linux部分容易误解一下，呵呵

还是在上学时候用过NetWare，一台server带了7、8台无盘工作站，趁老师不在把server加载了远程控制模块，在工作站就能控制服务器，感觉那叫牛啊
