What is OSX Mac OS X (IPA pronunciation: [mæk o ɛs tɛn]) is a line of proprietary, graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Apple Computer, the latest of which is pre-loaded on all currently shipping Macintosh computers. Mac OS X is the successor to the original Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984. Unlike its predecessor, Mac OS X is a Unix-like operating system built on technology that had been developed at NeXT through the second half of the 1980s and up until Apple Computer purchased the company in early 1997. The operating system was first released in 1999 as Mac OS X Server 1.0, with a desktop-oriented version (Mac OS X v10.0) following in March, 2001. The server edition, Mac OS X Server, is architecturally identical to its desktop counterpart but usually runs on Apple's line of Macintosh server hardware. Mac OS X Server includes workgroup management and administration software tools that provide simplified access to key network services, including a mail transfer agent, a Samba server, an LDAP server, and a domain name server.

What is Solaris In the early 1990s Sun replaced the BSD-derived SunOS 4 with a version of UNIX System V Release 4 (SVR4), jointly developed with AT&T. The underlying release name was SunOS 5.0, but a new marketing name was introduced at the same time: Solaris 2. (SunOS 4.1.x micro releases were also retroactively named Solaris 1, a convention generally ignored; the name Solaris is almost exclusively used to refer to SVR4-derived SunOS 5.0 and later.) Solaris is considered to be the SunOS operating system plus a graphical user environment (see Desktop Environments below), ONC+, and other components. The SunOS minor version is included in the Solaris release name; for example, Solaris 2.4 incorporated SunOS 5.4. After Solaris 2.6, Sun dropped the "2." from the name, so what we know as Solaris 7 incorporates SunOS 5.7, and the latest release SunOS 5.10 forms the core of Solaris 10. |

What is SCO SCO was founded in 1978 by Doug Michels and his father Larry Michels as a UNIX porting and consulting company. In 1983 it shipped Xenix for the Intel processor, its first packaged UNIX System. Xenix, renamed SCO UNIX in 1989 following SCO's port to the Intel 80386 processor, became the most installed flavor of UNIX due to the popularity of the x86 architecture. The company went public in 1993 on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. In 1995 SCO acquired the AT&T UNIX source code from Novell and eventually became the licensor for UNIX. SCO also acquired the UnixWare operating system, at which time it renamed SCO UNIX as SCO OpenServer. SCO announced on August 2, 2000 that it would sell its Server Software and Services Divisions, as well as UnixWare and OpenServer technologies, to Caldera Systems, Inc. The purchase was completed in May 2001. At that time Caldera changed its name to "Caldera International", and the remaining part of SCO, the Tarantella Division, changed its name to "Tarantella, Inc." Read more here ... |

What is Linux Linux (also known as GNU/Linux) is a Unix-like computer operating system. It is one of the most prominent examples of open source development and free software; unlike proprietary operating systems such as Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X, its underlying source code is available for anyone to use, modify, and redistribute freely. Initially, Linux was primarily developed and used by individual enthusiasts on personal computers. Since then, Linux has gained the support of major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell, Inc. for use in servers and is gaining popularity in the personal computer market.[1] It is used in systems ranging from supercomputers to mobile phones.
