They are unix. The term "unix" #is used to refer to a family of operating systems who's lineage dates back #to 1970. Unix(tm) is also a trade mark for people willing to pay to use #it. # #No one group made Linux really.

Not so! # #The unix world is really much larger than a bunch of dumb people with #hokie cracker clan affilliations. Go to the websites and read and get some #real knowledge. Don't listen to these childish rumors. The straight dope #is out there.
