So what I'm hearing is Linux's timeline, which includes things that were not developed just for Linux, extends further out than SunOS does.

Mumble... the problem of course is the under those rules, SunOS goes back to research which goes back to V0....

All I'm saying is comparing Linux's timeline to something like SunOS has to include everything that went into both because they both relied on precursors.

Except for any possible legal reasons....why differentiate ? Looks like a Duck, Quacks Like Duck or from a Turing Test.... I'm mostly can not tell the difference.

Side note: I'm a bit of a bitch when it comes to Linux - which doesn't mean I don't think Linux is "UNIX" - it just means I think it's the Coherent of today's UNIX ;)

I guess it doesn't matter to me that much. Some of the changes are gratuitous and annoying, which brings out my inner curmudgeon as its make its tough to type to sometimes. But the fact is, UNIX, Linux, Macos are pretty much the same thing - much more so than winders. They are way more similar than different and I can be productive with all three. To me its like ethnicity in people. It says a little about some of how you might look at something, what some of you shared positions/starting points are, but we are way more alike than different and I would rather learn from the differences than fight them or try to inflict my wishes. We are better with diversity.
