Nowadays people often get more confused calling Unix where they should call it Linux and vice versa.. just have a look in employment offers :-) Working with superdome involves HPUX knowledge not Redhat , working on Onyx requires knowing IRIX which is BSD... Keep things simple and avoid flamewars :-) I would prefer reading somewhat like "Illumos has direct roots from Unix and therefore is more than just an Unix like" But then again is documentation the right place for philosophy ? Eventually one can lead the reader to historical materials ... :-) _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
