It behaves like Unix, walks like Unix, it's stable like Unix so it is Unix
:-)

Unix is like humans: it comes in many different colors. Some are more
(technicaly) advanced than the others depending on many circumstances.

Lowly OSes like DOS and windoze should be compared to monkeys. One task at
the time  :-)

Saying that you have Linux experiance means you know that particular
"flavor" of Unix. I believe that companies will ask for Linux experience
because you handle it a bit differently than other versions of Unix.
