aix, hpux are ATT UNIX SVR2 derivatives.
solaris is an ATT UNIX SVR4 derivative.
SCO Unixware isn ATT UNIX SVR4 derivative (or, until recently, one could argue this is UNIX)
BSD is ALSO UNIX... maybe you want that? You can try FreeBSD. It's just that POSIX tended to be more like ATT UNIX System V UNIX, so you might find BSD to be very different in many respects.

Plain UNIX? You could try to get a hold of the original ATT tape. Will be difficult to port.

Alternatively, ynilesh could download the UNIX IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX.1) standard on the The Single UNIX Specification, Version 3, and write his own from scratch Smilie

and his username will fit nice for the new distribution:

"YNIX"

maybe some years in the future there is a wiki entry about the "birthplace" of ynix and how the name was developed Smilie.

I hope so. It will increase our Google Rage Ranking (PR) if we have more links from Wikipedia!

We could even run YNIX for this site instead of Ubuntu Linux! I am really excited about this!

However, if ynilesh does not create YNIX, he can still use OpenSolaris if he does not have the time to write it from scratch! So many options! Smilie

I appreciate that you guye gave me so many idea's. I would really like to implement my own unix.

If I am not making mistake, long back on unix.org there was downloadable version of unix available. I dont remember what exactly it was.
