NetWare is good at what it does. Don't get me wrong, I'm an admin for a network with approx. 90 nodes, and have more NT machines than any other server OS. Heck, I'm also currently working towards a degree as a W2K admin. Our two mirrored NetWare 4.11 servers have around a 160 day uptime right now, and they're used in a nearly 24x7x365 environment (newspaper publishing). I have NEVER seen an NT machine that didn't have to be rebooted for whatever reason after more than 2 or 3 months. Most common offender seems to be the spooler service, stopping and starting it doesn't help sometimes. For those who are about to say "But W2K is an improvement on NT!", I agree, but I'm comparing two server OS's from the same time period, NetWare 4.x and NT 4.
It's called MacOS X Server because it is the server version of MacOS X. You can DL an X server that runs on MacOS X Server, so you can run X apps across the network.
Does W2k have ls, who, file, bash,/dev? Does it use X Windows? Can I telnet into W2k (with an out-of-box-install)? Can I change the runlevel of w2k? can I kill a process (with the kill command)? Can I used nice on process? Does it have virtual consoles (Ctrl-Alt-Fx)? Can it be traced back to AT&T or BSD UNIX? If you answered no to any of those questions, then it's not Unix.
Would you please watch your cases?! Unix is not the same as UNIX. UNIX is trademarked by AT&T (and now someone else). Unix is a generic term. Unix encompasses SVR4-based UNIX, BSD-based UNIX, and Linux.
What kind of morons think that the name has to end in X to be a Unix OS? Solaris and the several BSD unices are Unix, their basic structure is the same. I could use them and feel amost at home. They have ls and the other utilies. they have X. they are Unix.
"Unix" is not an OS, it is a family of OS's. "UNIX" is AT&Ts SVR4 (and older) versions of Unix. Solaris/SunOS sure is Unix, it's based on SVR4, and the BSDs are based on Berkley Unix. Linux is a mix of SVR4 and BSD Unix-like things, but it's more based on SVR4.
don't you people know this, NSA uses Solaris for most of it's cryto stuff. The Discovery channel had a show about the NSA some time ago, and I saw lots of Sun machines, and X Logos filling up the screens (presumably so you couldn't see what programs were running on them)

I suppose you've never made a mistake before? The mistake of one person does not make the whole Linux community look stupid. The words of one person (who's used Unix for 5 years) does not make tens of millions of people look stupid. I pride myself in being a Unix user, and I do make Ò©ñ`ry once in añ©le. I got "interface" confused with "device".

What do you call /dev/eth0?
