Windows v. Unix - Round 1!

Uploaded by FairandUnbalanced on Dec 24, 2007
This series will answer the age old question - windows or unix? Afraid to switch to unix? Let me be your guinea pig! Already have unix? I'm thinking Ubuntu - what do you think? In round one, I haven't switched yet...just complaining about windoze a whole lot.

Another GNU/Linux user here!

Lastly, GNU is not UNIX.
GNU is an acronym for GNU's Not Unix (this is called a recursive acronym).
-
Also, GNU/Linux is a UNIX work-alike. There are others besides it. There is BSD (FreeBSD , openBSD, and netBSD are flavors of BSD) and it fills the same role as GNU/Linux, Windows OSes on the Windows NT kernel (NT is what powers 2000, XP, Vista, and 7) and Mac OS X.

Ubuntu is a distribution of GNU/Linux.
GNU is the operating system; Linux is the kernel. In other words, what you often call Linux is actually GNU. Linux is a small part of Ubuntu, whereas GNU is a huge part of it.

ubuntu is linux

@littlemattjk Linux is UNIX even if it doesn't come directly from AT&T UNIX. Remember that UNIX isn't just an OS, but a philosophy. As for the official name, people call BSD and Linux UNIX-like because The Open Group has the UNIX trademark and the Open Source community doesn't want to pay for UNIX Specifications (Neither do I ;D).

Wow, i didn't think that this would be **that** fucking awful, though i should've assumed so the moment that i saw "Windoze" vs UNIX written on note paper with a permanent marker.

That is not exactly correct. Linux is Unix-like operating system - meaning it behaves like Unix most of the time - and is INSPIRED by Minix, educational mini Unix; it did not actually use any of its code. Therefore, Linux represents a free, yet independent implementation of the Unix concept. Ubuntu is just one of the distributions of Linux, distribution being a version of the system that a company or individual makes in order to offer a complete OS with an assortment of programs and utilities.
