UNIX vs Linux: How Are They Different?
UNIX is a powerful multi-user operating system (OS) that defined how we do computing for more than 40 years. It provided a lot of features and abstractions that we take for granted today. This includes the idea of files being an uninterpreted sequence of bytes as well as the notion of a hierarchical file system.
This article will show you some of the differences between the original UNIX OS and its modern spiritual successor: Linux. Further, it will also show you a brief rundown on both the history and notable features of each system.
