Information needed

As part of a school project I'm supposed to make a webpage on operating systems (Other than windows) and the three I was told to do were Linux, Unix, and Mac. I got Linux and Mac done pretty easily because I use them a lot but Unix is showing some problems. Could anyone give me some information on it? I need things like similarities to windows, differences, and common tools. Also if anyone could I need to know similarities and differences for mac to along with tools. I have everything else I need.

<b>Overview:</b> 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.

<b>History:</b> 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.

I believe if you search the Web, you should be able to find lots of information about various kinds of Unix.
