UNIX is a registered trademark of whoever owns USL this week, exclusively licensed to X/Open. OS's that are feature-for-feature equivalent to UNIX can not legally use the trademark, and are called UNIX-like OS's. If you want to run a UNIX-like OS, like FreeBSD or NetBSD or OpenBSD Debian Linux or RedHat Linux or Caldera Linux or ... It will cost you either the download time (and no charge for the software) or a media charge for a CDROM (and no charge for the software). For pricing on BSDI's UNIX-like OS, or Solaris, or SCO UNIX, you'll have to contact them. In general, it's in excess of $1000, and may be as high as $12,000.
