No emoji required: Linux and GNU/Linux are most definitely not UNIX. Linux and UNIX are separate, distinct, registered trademarks. These trademarks apply when they apply and don't when they don't.
As a comparison, an Apple iPhone running iOS is not a Google Pixel running Android. However, they're both smartphones that both run operating systems. Even though they have much in common in terms of their actual codebase, Apple's iOS is not UNIX, but Apple's macOS is. As another example, IBM's z/OS is UNIX, but FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD are not UNIX. Are we having fun yet? :-) I applaud software distributors that support concise, parsimonious installations for those who choose them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
