Q. My school work require me to find the minimum requirement for major operating system.
I want to find the minimum hardware requirement for all Mac os version, range from the earliest System 1.0 to current MAC OS X 10.5.
I know that I can always found the minimum hardware requirement for the latest Mac OS X. But, it is really hard to find the same information for earlier System version.

A. The Apple I ("one") and Apple II were computers, not operating systems. Neither used the Macintosh operating system, since they both were released for sale before the first Macintosh computer. In fact, the first version of the Macintosh operating system was called "System 1.0". With version 7.6, the name "Mac OS" began.
I have never found a single Website dedicated to listing the hardware requirements of the various Macintosh operating system versions. Apple has deleted almost all of its technical articles dated before 1997. For recent versions, go to www.apple.com/support and search for something like "os 8 system requirements". The links below can help. Is this some sort of school research paper? If you want to know about a specific old Apple computer, try Apple-history.com where the minimum and maximum OS is listed for each computer. For more technical details than most people can stay awake for, read the PDF "MacOSXInternals" by Amit Singh, linked below. For a general description and time-line of Macintosh operating system versions, see the Wikipedia article, linked below.
The last link is for articles by or about Jef Raskin / Mac OS. Jef was instrumental in the development of the Mac OS up to its evolution into a UNIX based system.
Just for grins, my compiled version history (without specific hardware requirements):

* minor updates 9.0.2, 9.0.3, 9.0.1 until...
* Mac OS 9.1 released January 1998 (QLF)
* Mac OS 9.2 released January 1998 (QLF)
* minor updates 9.2.1, 9.2.2 until...

* Mac OS 10.1 released September 25 2001 (QLF --very few bugs)
* minor updates until...
* Mac OS 10.2 (code named Jaguar--the first system software advertised with its code name) released August 23 2002 (QLF -- very stable and fairly easy to fit with application development))
* minor updates until...
* Mac OS 10.3 (Panther) released October 24 2003 (update to 10.3.9 for almost 10.4 greatness)
* minor updates until...
* Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) released April 29 2005 (QLF -- truly great; not much surpassed by 10.5 other than eye-candy)
* minor updates until...
* Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) released October 26 2007 (some would say QLF)
* minor updates until...
* Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) released...soon.

I'm interested in Programming. Only problem is that I don't have the slightest idea as to where to start?
Q. I want to be able to utilize the full potential of these beautiful machines. I want to be able to develop operating systems based on the Linux Kernal. I want to be able to develop game engines.
But alas, this is not something I am knowledgeable in. Would you be able to guide me in the right direction?

A. 1. First install some Linux Distro such as Ubuntu in your machine.
2. Learn various unix commands in terminal. I dont advise you to play with GUI icons at all. Especially, learn commands in /bin, /usr/bin
3. Learn C language throughly
4. Learn OS fundamentals. Read books by Dietel or Gary Nutt.
5. Start coding in C to explore linux internals.
Like this you can grow.

Is Sony really coming out with a computer operating system?
Q. I saw it on some website, supposedly they're coming out with i UNIX based OS called APERTOS. Is this true?
A. You'd better go back and check your source. APTEROS was discussed at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in --1992-- !
Sony has developed a number of operating system -- for Playstations, cameras, video machinery, and more. But Sony knows that it would be a terrific uphill struggle to unseat the likes of Windows and UNIX, and especially with Linux available for free.
It makes no business sense to try to come out with a new computer OS. Unless it is so radically inventive and improves computing technology by leaps and bounds.
