Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Is there a place like this for LINUX questions? Post 34042 by Perderabo on Friday 31st of January 2003 11:49:36 AM

One thought is to just post linux questions here.

Linux is more of a unix variant like hp-ux or solaris than it is a separate os. They started from scratch and cannot legally use the unix name, but it seems less alien to me than some official unix offshoots that I have seen.

We get a lot of linux questions here. For many of our users, linux is the only unix system they use.
