A BSD socket is basically an early version of a POSIX socket. It is used to connect a Unix system to the internet.
1 answer
There isn't a generalized way from the command line in Unix to connect to a socket; there are socket libraries you can utilize from within the 'C' language to assign, bind, and connect to a specific socket address. For example:
int connect(int s, const struct sockaddr *name, int namelen);
In Linux, you can use the 'socket' command to connect to a specific socket as:
socket ?options? host port
Where the host is the IP address and the port is the port number (giving you the socket address).

Unix configuration is the process of tailoring a freshly installed version of Unix to your particular environment. Each Unix system may do that differently.

Solaris is a specific version of Unix; the term 'Unix' refers to a classification, and several vendors provide a Unix-like environment. So, in a sense, Unix and Solaris are the same thing.
1 answer
There is no "default" Unix shell. Different Unix vendors shipped different shells.

Unix is not open source, it is proprietary. Linux is the open-source version of Unix.

Unix was created first. The C programming language was created for Unix.

2. BSD
3. countless unix-like, unix-based, unix-compatible, unix-inspired systems (linux, AIX, Sinix, Xenix, Dynix, Solaris, MacOs etc)

Not really. AIX is IBM's patented version of Unix, with their own add-ons and features. The basics look a lot like Unix but legally they are not Unix. One could say it is a Unix variant.

Since there isn't a UNIX 95 or UNIX 98 per se, I think you are referring to Windows 95 or Windows 98..

In order to legally be called a "Unix" system, operating systems must undergo a rigorous and expensive certification procedure. "Unix-like" refers to systems that have an architecture similar to Unix, but have not undergone certification.

Unix is inherently portable; this means that a program, script, or process may be moved from Unix system to Unix system with little effort or change (hence - portable).

Linux, Minix, Coherent, FreeBSD, etc. These are all clones of Unix

In a sense, I suppose you could say it was a descendant of Unix; it is actually a clone of the Unix environment and Operating System.

To create a Free OS like the UNIX Operating System,
They wanted to create a system that was like UNIX without all of the intellectual property issues that UNIX had. (UNIX was proprietary software).
1 answer
Linux is a Unix-like system. This means that it is inspired or influenced by Unix in some shape or form (Linux started off from Minix), but it is not directly derived from Unix. However, BSD is based on Unix, and macOS is indirectly Unix-based because of its mixed heritage with BSD.
1 answer
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.

A Unix shell can be obtained in Cygwin, a Unix compatibility layer used to compile Unix programs and run them on Windows. Microsoft also makes a shell known as "Windows PowerShell" which incorporates more Unix-like features than the standard command prompt.
