Incorrect. The BSD branch is -the- closest thing around to the original Unix. Hence, for all accounts and purposes it IS Unix.

Linux is NOT derived from Unix source code, but its interfaces are intentionally like Unix. Therefore, Unix lessons learned generally apply to both, including information on security.

Originally, the term "Unix'' meant a particular product developed by AT&T. The history of Unix is somewhat convoluted. The academic community, led by Berkeley, developed a variant called the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), while AT&T continued developing Unix under the names "System III'' and later "System V''. System V ended up incorporating many BSD innovations, so the resulting system was more a merger of the two branches.

That merger, in essence, makes BSD Unix.

Oh wow?  Not like Ubuntu has 5000 better features such as apt-get, which downloads the package, installs the package and sets it up.  How easy can it be?  Certinaly more easier than compiling (unless you enjoy doing that).

Sigh. I will never comprehend why you'd use *nix and want it to be user friendly. Use *nix for the stability and power it has, not as a pretty alternative desktop. It's a tool, not a toy.

Mandriva

and let it do partitioning for you as well, rather than do it with partitionmagic beforehand

That's actually what I meant by 'based on'. Shoulda been a bit clearer methinks. But yeah, you're absolutely right.
