What is a Unix or Linux variant?

The original UNIX was an operating system developed by Bell Labs in the early 70's. What makes UNIX significant is that many of the ideas that were part of it became standards in computers, even today. As time passed, those standards evolved, and became the basis for a number of newer systems, such as BSD, Linux, and even Mac OS X. Since they share similar standards they are called "UNIX variants". In 1992, Linux was created. What makes Linux different from many of the other UNIX variants is that no one owns Linux, and it is essentially "community property". It has been freely adapted for many purposes. Linux "distributions" are versions of Linux that are tailored for a specific audience. Since no one person's needs are exactly the same, there are many different versions to choose from. They are the same operating system, just with different things added.

Is Linux an opperating system?

There are a range of versions of Linux - part of it's appeal is that it can be used for a wide range of computers, from phones to supercomputers.
