Command-line-wise, almost none, although this has been changing (for better or worse). Linux has a much larger market appeal and following than any commercial UNIX. GUI-wise there are also no major differences--Linux, as most other UNICES, uses an X-Windowing system. The major differences: - Linux is free, while many UNICES (this is supposed to be plural of UNIX), cost A LOT. Same about applications--many good applications are available on Linux free. Even the same commercial application (if you wanted to buy one) typically costs much more for a commercial UNIX than for Linux. - Linux runs on many hardware platforms, the commodity Intel-x86/IBM-spec personal computers being the most prominent. A typical UNIX is proprietary-hardware-bonded (and this hardware tends to be much more expensive than normal PC). - With Linux, you are in charge of your computer, whereas on most UNICES you are typically confined to be an "l-user" (some administrators pronounce it "loser"). - Linux feels very much like DOS/Win in the 80s/early 90s, but is much sturdier and richer, while a typical UNIX account feels like a mainframe from the 60s/70s. - Some UNICES may be more mature in certain areas (for example, security, some engineering applications, better support of cutting-edge hardware). Linux is more for an average Joe who wants to run his own small server or engineering workstation.
i think you yourself have never used Linux and even if you have you sound like a moron yourself. I have not seen an OS as powerful and free as Linux. And if you can run Win95 on 3-400mhz machine i am happy for you.
the countries that were in soviet russia in one time are still called the countries of soviet russia...and then do not get of the subject we are talking about text messages..
yeah i agree with that... some of Dj's i knew used to complain about hearing problems...especially after using headphones haha but still it is like a part of everyone's life MUSIC hehe

baked apple is alright. maybe she should have grilled and then boiled it?

in soviet russia they do not send text messages ... doh
