Don't forget that the Linux OS that we all know now would not be without the work of Richard Stallman and his work on GNU. Linus just created the kernal that fit into the GNU OS.

Very useful thanks

@gr1moire2112 BSD cut loose the code that started both SunOS/Solaris and Linux. No one built a unix clone from scratch except Andrew Tanenbaum and then only as a micro kernel with minix (and skeptical at that being 100% original). The notion that Linus Torvalds coded hundreds of thousands of lines of code identical to BSD by himself is like saying you've been struck by lightning 100 times and lived to write a book on it.

@gr1moire2112 ... I recognize your analysis as a common one, but I do disagree ... see my blog entry on the topic. The URL for my blog is visible in my youtube profile information, and the article title is "The Terms: UNIX, POSIX, unix, *nix, and Linux". One point that I don't call out specifically is that Linus Torvalds did not create an OS to be "like" unix - he created a kernel designed as unix conventions expect a kernel to be designed. The insights in my blog take it from there.

So exactly why is Solaris "more unix" than Linux ? In general, what exactly is the difference between "unix" and "unix-like" ?

@mattsamudio Its explained in the video. Solaris is a direct descendent of the original Unix operating systems. Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds originally to work like Unix, but he started from scratch. e.g you are a direct descendent of your ancestors, but if someone tried to copy something like your ancestors but without any orginal DNA it may look similar but it will not be it.

but mr is sun solaris really a Unix based OS? i've heard that is just another Linux distro

@KaxiLaxi Yes Solaris is a Unix variant. Linux is not Unix but similar to it. Sun did at one time relaese a desktop LInux but that was something different than Solaris.
