i just would like u think "chapeau bas" to someone having pushed UNIX and having beleived in this OS.
Sure Linux is not unix but ....
...but, neither is MacOS X, really. It's UNIX 03 certified and very POSIX, but it's not actually UNIX, so much as UNIX based. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X) By contrast, Linux doesn't pretend to BE Unix, it clearly went the GNU route and tries to be POSIX compliant but written from scratch to functionally operate to be Unix-like. By the by, I used to play with a NeXT computer a little over 15 years ago when they were new and long before Jobs worked for Apple again. They were spiffy little boxes--weird, but spiffy--but also FreeBSD based, not actual UNIX. (For the record, though, I prefer FreeBSD's OS over UNIX)
