Are you using UNIX - Feed The Geeks

Hi,

just wondering how many here are still using UNIX at work, or if you have a server at home, cool. At my work we are using Solaris, but I have worked on HP as well. Also my previous job had old VAX machines, running VMS

Well, mac is based on FreeBSD, which is unix, and my main computer (not work, home) is a mac...

I've never used UNIX. In fact, I don't think I've come across a computer running UNIX in a very long time. However, I do run Linux, which is related to UNIX.

I know the simple Unix stuff:

ls, pwd, cd /directory, etc.

Well, most of those commands didn't change as UNIX changed into Mac and Linux (and other OS). As a result, issuing the ls command on a mac will do the same thing as issuing the command on Linux, which will do the same thing as issuing it on UNIX.
