To put it very generically, Linux is an operating system kernel, and UNIX is a certification for operating systems. The UNIX standard evolved from the original Unix system developed at Bell Labs. After Unix System V, it ceased to be developed as a single operating system, and was instead developed by various competing companies, such as Solaris (from Sun Microsystems), AIX (from IBM), HP-UX (from Hewlett-Packard), and IRIX (from Silicon Graphics). UNIX is a specification for baseline interoperability between these systems, even though there are many major architectural differences between them. Linux has never been certified as being a version of UNIX, so it is described as being "Unix-like." A comprehensive list of differences between Linux and "UNIX" isn't possible, because there are several completely different "UNIX" systems.

What is the difference between Windows Unix and Linux?
what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
What is the difference between unix operating system and Linux operating system?
Linux is a Unix-like system. This means that it is inspired or influenced by Unix in some shape or form (Linux started off from Minix), but it is not directly derived from Unix. However, BSD is based on Unix, and macOS is indirectly Unix-based because of its mixed heritage with BSD.
Is UNIX based on Linux?
No, but Linux is based on Unix since Linux is a Unix clone.
What is the difference between C and Linux?
There is very little difference in the C compiler between Unix and Linux; in some cases (the gcc compiler) it is the same. The differences come in when using system calls; some system calls do not exist in Unix or Linux, although most do. The program I work on compiles the same way (for the most part) between all commercial versions of Unix and several variants of Linux. In other words, the code is fairly portable across platforms.
Which is an os in between unix and Linux?
It's a meaningless phrase.
Is unix and Linux an open system?
Linux is an open system, Unix is not.
Mandriva is Linux or unix?
linux
Is any virus attack to Linux or Unix?
Linux and Unix do have their share of malware, though there are fewer of them.
What is the difference between Os and unix?
No difference, really. Unix is an OS (Operating System)
Does Linux use the kernel of Unix?
No, it is unix-based but Linux is a kernel not an operating system.Ubuntu,Linux Mint,Debian,and puppy Linux,ect. are OS's that use the Linux kernel.
Why does Linux and unix share more commands than windows xp and unix?
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
What is the difference between bsd and linux os?
Command set and command switches. Both are based on the UNIX operating system, so they have the core of the operating system in common.
