What is the modern vanilla UNIX?
Before you bark "Google" or some other reference, I have tried to get my head around this for the past 8 months.
I want to know, who makes a vanilla UNIX. Not a flavour of UNIX.
.....vanilla, plain, boring, original current UNIX.
I understand that all these different companies make versions or "flavours" of UNIX, but where is the AT&T/Bell Labs version of UNIX?
I'm not trying to develop my own version or anything, but where does the modern day version come from? The last time I asked this question, I was told that BSD UNIX or SOLARIS are the only current vanilla flavours, but I can't find BSD UNIX. I can find FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD FireflyBSD.
Can anyone give me a dumb persons answer so I can just have peace of mind please.
Thank you.
