Ahh... UNIX... I've heard about that... 'I unix file manager, I know this'... :)
Seriously, I know... I haven't been around long enough to grasp the fact that
Linux is a 'unix like' OS, not a unix OS... For me UNIX is .... I don't know
how to explain it, but it's more of the '/', '/usr', '/home'... The way
things are laid out, no matter what type of UNIX you are running... There'se
differences, yes (thank whoever for that), but basicly there is that ... thing
about it...
Doesn't make sence, I know, but I'm not feeling well right now... :)

Those are the distributions, but now, there'se only one Linux (more or less
any way, we have the 2.0 and the 2.1 Linux nowdays... :)
