Information for Report
As part of my A+ certification class I was asked to create a webpage on operating systems other than windows, in specific Linux, Mac, and Unix. I got Linux and Mac done but I am having trouble finding specific information on Unix. I keep being directed to Linux or Mac. Can anyone help. In specific I'm looking for similarities and differences to windows along with any tools included by default.
Right now I have:
Overview: Unix has been eddited to make several different versions of it. This is how Mac and Linux came to be. Unix is the basis of most modern operating systems. Some Unix systems include SunOS/Solaris, HP-UX, and Tru64 Unix. History: Unix was developed in 1969 at Bell labs. In 2007 the Unix trademark was handed over to The Open Group that has developed standards for the system. All Unix systems must meet their standards or they are considered Unix-like systems. Linux is considered a Unix like system because it was built off of Unix and no longer meets the standards. File System:Unix File System (UFS) also known as Berkeley fast file system.

TAPEFS(1) General Commands Manual TAPEFS(1)
NAME
32vfs, cpiofs, tapfs, tarfs, tpfs, v6fs, v10fs - mount archival file systems
SYNOPSIS
fs/32vfs [ -m mountpoint ] [ -p passwd ] [ -g group ] file
fs/cpiofs
fs/tapfs
fs/tarfs
fs/tpfs
fs/v6fs
fs/v10fs
DESCRIPTION
These commands interpret data from traditional tape or file system formats stored in file, and mount their contents (read-only) into a Plan
9 file system. The optional -p and -g flags specify Unix-format password (respectively group) files that give the mapping between the
numeric user- and group-ID numbers on the media and the strings reported by Plan 9 status inquiries. The -m flag introduces the name at
which the new file system should be attached; the default is /n/tapefs.
32vfs interprets raw disk images of 32V systems, which are ca. 1978 research Unix systems for the VAX, and also pre-FFS Berkeley VAX sys-
tems (1KB block size).
Cpiofs interprets cpio tape images (constructed with cpio's c flag).
Tarfs interprets tar tape images.
Tpfs interprets tp tapes from the Fifth through Seventh Edition research Unix systems.
Tapfs interprets tap tapes from the pre-Fifth Edition era.
V6fs interprets disk images from the Fifth and Sixth edition research Unix systems (512B block size).
V10fs interprets disk images from the Tenth Edition research Unix systems (4KB block size).
SOURCE
These commands are constructed in a highly stereotyped way using the files fs.c and util.c in /sys/src/cmd/tapefs, which in turn derive
substantially from ramfs(4).
