Difference between UNIX and Linux
OK, I've used various versions of UNIX(Solaris, HPUX, etc..) over the years. Now the organization I work for is leaning towards more Linux based systems(Redhat, Suse, etc..)

I do see differences in in comands and how to accomplish basic adminstration, but nothing mind blowing.

So, what is it that makes linux a Unix like o/s? What are the differences that seperate the two?

A very handy reference is called the Unix Rosetta Stone. This lists side-by-side my similar actions on various *nix OS's, comparing their commands.

I'll pre-empt the next question

You can download ISO images for most of the distributions from http://www.linuxiso.org/
