Operating Systems

There are hundreds of actors, actresses, and musicians that almost everyone has heard of. But how many of those celebrities could you actually name the first place they showed their face in show business? CelebOrigins is meant to showcase that first commercial, audition tape, film, story, or music video, that this celebrity debuted in. We have made it our goal to dig deep and search for these rare findings and share them with the world.

Every computer runs on some sort of operating system, whether is it Windows, Mac OS, Unix, or Linux, there must be some sort of OS behind the execution of a computer and its tasks.  Because of this, in order to view or create any website, an operating system is required.  Certain operating systems lend themselves better to certain tasks, but in my experience with websites, I stand fairly neutral.

CelebOrigins will likely be written on a machine running Mac OS X and perhaps certain objectives will be run through Unix.  The advantages I see to using Unix is the ability to quickly install different programming languages and to easily manage and create databases. Though each task can also be achieved through exclusive usage of Mac OS X.  It should also be noted that some of these operating systems can be used simultaneously on the same machine.  

The most important thing about whatever operating system our site chooses to use, is that we must keep our system up to date.  If we fail to update and patch our system, we could be attempting to run and write programs amidst terrible bugs in the OS.  Also, even if all seems to be going well in the building process of the website, if our OS is not updated, the functionality of certain aspects of the site may fail once the patch is added. CelebOrigins policy will be update early and update often.
