Hi! Mac OS X has modified mach microkernel, FreeBSD userspace, FreeBSD NetBSD drivers and Aqua user interface. from http://developer.apple.com/darwin Beneath the appealing, easy-to-use interface of Mac OS X is a rock-solid foundation that is engineered for stability, reliability, and performance. This foundation is a core operating system commonly known as Darwin. Darwin integrates a number of technologies, most importantly Mach 3.0, operating-system services based on 4.4BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), high-performance networking facilities, and support for multiple integrated file systems.

Im running into some annoying nuassances in syntax between solaris korn shell and hp-unix korn shell. is it just little syntax differences or is there alot more to it? You sure it's HP korn-shell? The default shell looks like korn, but it isn't. Looks like bourne as well, but again: it isn't. It is indeed the Posix shell, which is about right between the other 2. The only shell I've always found is reliable is the old bourne shell. Just about the same everywhere. Once again, the default HP one is NOT the bourne shell even though it is called sh. Of course you lose the niceties of command history and such, but if you're writing admin scripts what the heck do you need history for? Let's not touch the C-shell... As for administration of Unix itself: yikes! Depends which was the original Unix flavour: ATT System V or Berkeley BSD. SunOS was mostly BSD, Solaris got a lot of SystemV in it. HP was mostly BSD, but it got a lot of the SV stuff into it until HP decided to become Posix-compliant. Since then, it's been potluck.

The Linux kernel is totally different, though you will find some code in it that is from System 4 UNIX. Linux is technically not a UNIX, thought it looks and feels and acts like one. It's also worth noting that all of the UNIXes have, at this point, significant differences in terms of their internals. There's even two whole styles of UNIX - System V and BSD with entirely different core codebases.

RE: Re: OT - Linux books ??
The SCO Linux litigation that is raging right now is such a nightmare of FUD and absurd legal process. For starters, SCO's UNIX implementation is dead in the water - not only was it the worst UNIX I've ever worked with, but even SCO has no plans to aggresively continue development on it. Only the Linux stuff is even moving forward, and that's all about the legal issues going on now. The issue at question is SCO's ownership of the original ATT UNIX copyright and licensing. SCO is claiming several things, the core bits being that its proprietary code has made its way into Linux in violation of its licensing agreement with IBM. IBM, for their part, claims that the suit is invalid on its face and is countersuing. SCO yanked IBM's license to distribute UNIX, which IBM claims is not even possible. The lawyers are hard at work. As best as anyone has been able to determine, all of the code SCO has revealed as being in question was licensed freely to the community by Caldera before Caldera's acquisition/merger with SCO. Beyond that, some of the disputed code dates back to System 4 UNIX and is available in USENET archives - hardly very proprietary. While IANAL, I would be shocked if SCO won any piece of this litigation. It appears as though SCO expected to get settlements out of IBM and other major players, and instead is going to get destroyed in court by IBM. Remember, IBM fought the US Government in court and actually wore them down (the example I keep hearing is the brief IBM filed that was 4 filing cabinets in size and took two years for the government to read - possibly apocryphal). SCO should lose, and good riddance to them. *climbs off his soapbox* Thanks, Matt -- Matthew Zito GridApp Systems Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 646-220-3551 Phone: 212-358-8211 x 359 http://www.gridapp.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mladen Gogala Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 1:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Re: OT - Linux books ??

Re: Re: OT - Linux books ??
Liunx was initially meant to be a posix standard and minix compatible OS running on 386 for hackers and computer enthusiasts. Even Linus himself didn't predict it's growth and current status at first. At first it wasn't even completely independent, it used minix formatted filesystems etc.. But eventually it become clear that in order to evolve, the compatibility with minix had to be dropped. That was a good decision indeed.

Tragically, none of these run Oracle (FreeBSD can run Oracle in Linux emulation mode - which seems backwards at best). And there's OS X, which is Apple's UNIX, and also runs Oracle. As far as AIX, I couldn't find an article to verify this, but I had thought IBM had announced that AIX would eventually be phased out in favor of Linux. This is not a short-term plan, obviously the existing install base of AIX precludes that. But, eventually... And if I imagined that announcement, I'd still wager money that its going to happen. :) Thanks, Matt -- Matthew Zito GridApp Systems Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 646-220-3551 Phone: 212-358-8211 x 359 http://www.gridapp.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mladen Gogala Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 12:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Re: OT - Linux books ?? Well, IBM has AIX, a very solid and stable version of unix which works really well. SCO has become very popular lately and using SCO Unix will turn you into the most popular guy on this list. Then there is Irix, made by SGI. HP actually has several unix versions Tru64, HP-UX, Tandem Unix, Ultrix, Apollo Unix and some more exotic operating systems like OpenVMS, MPE, Guardian and alike. If you go with HP, I do advise you to stick with HP-UX. -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA -Original Message- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 10:19 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L so different flavors of linux are more compatible? i thought the only two unix players out there now are HP and Solaris. who else is out there?
