   Hi There, Linux is a kernal, unix is a type of OS. Unix is a registered name so Linux cannot be described as a Unix OS however you will here linux described as a Unix like system. One thing to bear in mind is that Linux is NOT an OS it is just the kernal the GNU (recursive acronym for GNU's Not Unix) is what people often confuse as being 'Linux' this is however the command line and tools that interact with the Linux Kernal. A Linux OS is called a distrobution and will include both the Linux Kernal and The GNU tools as well. Interesting Links: http://www.kernel.org/ http://www.gnu.org/
