Even in the early days when Linux first came out, it was often commented upon how much faster it was than traditional Unix systems. For many tasks, Linux simply performs better. There are some situations that Linux still has not been optimized for, though, so Unix systems are used to do the "heavy" lifting.

Why does Linux and unix share more commands than windows xp and unix?
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
Which is more secure Windows or Linux?
Linux is considered to be more secure than Windows.
Why most of the time you use Linux to execute Unix commands?
Because Linux is actually more popular in most fields these days than certified Unix.
Is unix secure?
Unix comes in multiple distributions some more secure than others. Much of the security also comes from how the system is configured. Most unix systems are fairly secure.
Is Linux a robust operating system that is good training tool for unix?
No, Linux IS Unix, so the question makes no sense. Unix is a general term for a class of operating systems. Linux is also a term applied to more than one operating system variant, but all Linux OS are Unix OS. Redhat is one type of Linux. BSD is a type of Unix that is not Linux.
Is the architecture of Linux based on DOS?
No. Linux is a free, open-source version of UNIX. Many of DOS's commands were based on UNIX commands, but the underlying operating system is much more powerful than DOS.
Why do you think Linux and unix share more command than windows xp and unix?
Because Linux was modeled after Unix, and designed to be a suitable free replacement. Windows is targeted at a slightly different market, and was primarily designed to be operated using a GUI, not the command line.
WHY DO YOU THINK LINUX AND UNIX SHARE MORE COMMANDS THAN WINDOWS XP AND UNIX?
Because Linux was modeled after Unix, and designed to be a suitable free replacement. Windows is targeted at a slightly different market, and was primarily designed to be operated using a GUI, not the command line.

How secure is Unix?
Unix is one of the more secure operating systems, but it would be difficult to give an exact answer. It is very easy (and possible) to make any operating system insecure. It takes individuals some amount of time to secure any operating system, and Unix is no exception to that.
Why is Linux better than Windows for servers?
Linux is better than Windows for servers because it is more stable and more secure which are two important reasons why it is better for your server and why you can trust it more.
What are the capabilities of apple McIntosh is it more advantage than Linux and UNIX?
First off, Macs are computers, whereas Linux/UNIX are operating systems. They are not the same. Comparing OS X, however, is more productive: OS X itself is a UNIX operating system derived from BSD. Objectively, however, OS X falls quite short of the average UNIX implementation or Linux distribution in this category. It allegedly sports the most "user friendly" interface, but this is subjective.
