It doesn't quite work that way. Most applications that run on UNIX have a linux version. Simply put: no linux migration path == lost software business. Except in the case of legacy stuff written back in the 1980's.

Linux is a derivative of UNIX, like earlier flavors of UNIX were derivatives System V UNIX that became AIX, Solaris, and so on. The difference here is that there are POSIX standards nowadays which means, in practical terms, that porting your homegrown code to Linux is usually feasible. Often pretty close to painless.


There are some products that are OS specific. You would get a lot better answers if you told us what applications you have running now and what you want to do. A list like you asked for will get you nowhere.

Example: oracle works well on UNIXes and Linux. In fact, Oracle appliances like EXADATA machines run Linux - for other UNIX types.

Specifics are needed here.

Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3pm)

NAME
Net::Server::Proto::UNIX - Net::Server UNIX protocol. SYNOPSIS
See Net::Server::Proto. DESCRIPTION
Protocol module for Net::Server. This module implements the UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket type. See Net::Server::Proto. Any sockets created during startup will be chown'ed to the user and group specified in the starup arguments. PARAMETERS
The following paramaters may be specified in addition to normal command line parameters for a Net::Server. See Net::Server for more information on reading arguments. unix_type Can be either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM (default is SOCK_STREAM). This can also be passed on the port line (see Net::Server::Proto). However, this method is deprecated. If you want SOCK_STREAM - just use proto UNIX without any other arguments. If you'd like SOCK_DGRAM, use the new proto UNIXDGRAM. METHODS
NS_unix_path/NS_unix_type In addition to the standard NS_ methods of Net::Server::Proto classes, the UNIX types also have legacy calls to NS_unix_path and NS_unix_type. Since version 2.000, NS_unix_path is simply an alias to NS_port. NS_unix_type is now redundant with NS_proto. These methods were missing between version 2.000 and 2.003 but have been returned as legacy bridges. QUICK PARAMETER LIST
Key Value Default # deprecated UNIX socket parameters unix_type (SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_DGRAM) SOCK_STREAM port "filename" undef # more recent usage port "filename / UNIX" port "filename / UNIXDGRAM" LICENCE
