If you mean that Linux and GNU are both (very much like) Unix, then no. The GNU project set out in the early 1980's to create a new operating system from scratch. It was mostly complete, except for the kernel, when the Linux kernel became available. AFAIK the GNU/Hurd kernel is still not ready for production use, so most users of the GNU operating system run it with the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is just that, a kernel. By itself, it is not very useful as an operating system. http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html >I think Windows Server is also UNIX. Really?
