UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Well, for me it's a difference if I have to use difference commands. When I took that SunOS5-course I had Debian at home. Most of the commands worked ok, but I want to learn it more deeply than just basic command which I mainly already know from Linux. I have no interest of learning some Linux-distro deeply and then start all over with Unix when in first hand I have intrest to learn Unix, not Linux. I can go from Unix to Linux, but other way around it's not just for me.

By main idea, I mean that generic Unix was developed (and many Unixs this the case still today) by commercial basis. With Linux this idea was non-commercial and it makes the difference. People with different kind of philosophy is involved. Most of the Linux distros are developed as hobby and as community. With at least HP-UX, Solaris and AIX there are paid employees fixing and developing them. Not just hobbyists.

I think Apina does not understand Linux and is taking this thread in a direction that is getting very close to a rule violation.

Linux and UNIX are so similar, relatively speaking, that it is almost pointless to be having this debate.

It does not matter if you start with UNIX or Linux, you are basically starting with the same thing; the rest of the choice is based on personal bias and preferences (right or wrong).

I am going to close this thread since UNIX v. Linux threads are against the rules.
