12/05/2006 Relevance: 6.30Unix standardization efforts are ongoing. No that's not a misprint. Unix is far from dead, and efforts to provide a degree of standardization for the remaining Unix players may well be a lifeline. Then again, according to at least one analyst, new Unix standards, though important, may not necessarily be everything.Search further
08/12/2007 Relevance: 6.19When Judge Kimball ruled against SCO in favor of Novel and said that Novell owned Unix's IP (intellectual property), that was the end of SCO. So now, SCO's legal cases are dead -- but what about its friends and partners? I've said since the beginning that there was next to nothing to SCO's claims that Unix IP had illegally been transferred into Unix. After all, SCO itself had incorporated Linux code into Unix. I thought the APA (Asset Purchase Agreement), which gave SCO the right to sell Unix but didn't give the company the IP rights to Unix, would prove SCO's case's Achilles' heel.Search further
10/26/2008 Relevance: 6.17If the beginning bores you, jump to 3 minutes 5 seconds in. Hilarious :) For this week's attempt to find even more Linux, Unix and/or computer-related humour on the web, I ran across an entertaining 4 minutes of video called"Unix: What the heck is it?" It's attached to this post, below, but is also available on OrienteeringPro's YouTube Page.Search further

09/11/2006 Relevance: 6.09Unix and Linux clients can do quite well on a Windows network. Microsoft, in fact, released its own Services for Unix, which provides some basic cross-compatibility features for Unix clients accessing Windows servers. Other, more robust interoperability solutions are also available for various network services. Fortunately, Unix has been using TCP/IP for longer than Windows, so the two operating systems at least have a networking protocol in common.Search further
03/25/2008 Relevance: 5.82The 'What's the difference between UNIX and Linux?' question can be answered similar to the analogy section that many of us had to complete on the SAT test;UNIX is to DOS as Linux is to Windows. That's a grossly oversimplified answer to a complex question and I'll no doubt get flamed by some of the more advanced UNIX and/or Linux users out there but in the interest of keeping things simple, let's go with the above italicized sentence.Search further
07/18/2008 Relevance: 5.70Even though SCO has suffered another legal defeat, the company looks like it has enough willpower, if not sense, to keep its legal losing streak going. On July 16th, Judge Dale Kimball ruled in favor of Novell in SCO vs. Novell and said that the maverick Unix company owed Novell $2.5-million for its Unix deals, and, oh, by the way, Novell, not SCO, really owns Unix. With no IP rights to Unix, it would appear that SCO's lawsuits against IBM, Novell, and Linux were done. Alas, the experts say"no."Search further
11/12/2007 Relevance: 5.68Detailed and proper documentation of source code and programs is the milestone of Unix culture, as we may read in 'The art of Unix Programming' by Eric Steven Raymond. The first application on Unix was the platform to prepare documents. The platform was used by Bell Labs to prepare patent documents. Effective work with documentation and searching for needed information is the key feature when working on unix-like systems.Search further
04/13/2007 Relevance: 5.67The buzz about Linux, BSD, Open Solaris, and other free versions of Unix seems to swell every month. In case you haven't tried one of them yet, you might be wondering, 'What is all the fuss about?' Truly, you see passion about these systems that is seldom shown to their competitors. Here's a brief list of where the Unix system triumph.Search further
