If you want to define "unix" by Posix compliance, then Linux soon will be recognised as unix, if accounts are to be believed. However, to my mind Unix is anything derivative of the Unix Labs prodigious output.

Good, but if I need to develop or use a sw written for a *REAL* SystemV (that's the standard de facto actually) ??? Solaris is a good Unix but if I write sw that must be *OPEN* I can't develop on Solaris, too standards jumped, too files in wrong directories. For me this is a big wall that limit the diffusion of Solaris. In that case I prefer a strong SCO (always in an Intel universe), perhaps a bit slower and with less development tools, but a *REAL* System V. :-) Ciao... >>>--> The Ray Tracing Rocket <--<<< Redazione di Multimedia SBDI Magazine - www.vol.it/sbdi --- GoldED/2 2.50+ * Origin: ]\/[imac IV NeXT Generation 3D House - THE BOSS!
