From the site Live Free or Die, it specifies what is Unix, what is the history behind it and what are the true unices these days. Linux is not Unix. BSD, for the same reason as Linux's is also not Unix. Solaris is Unix. Now, I am wondering where OpenSolaris stands. Does it side with its ancestor, and hence, be Unix or is it categorized along with its open source brethren, and hence, not Unix.
But do you know that with Microsoft's Unix Services for Windows, an NT or Windows Server can, in theory be certified as Unix? Only if MS will pay for the cert.
