UNIX was created in 1969 by Ken Thompson, Brain Khernighan, and Dennis Ritchie, who at that time were working at AT&T's Bell Laboratories.
Linux was created in 1991 by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds, just for fun, and is based around the designs of Unix as it had evolved from 1969 to around that year. Fun factoid, around 1991 a lot of Unix researchers were actually experimenting with microkernel designs, so Linus wasn't entirely following the bleeding edge Unix trends of the time when he created the Linux kernel.
What else can I help you with?
Is UNIX based on Linux?
No, but Linux is based on Unix since Linux is a Unix clone.
Is unix and Linux an open system?
Linux is an open system, Unix is not.
Mandriva is Linux or unix?
linux
What is the difference between Windows Unix and Linux?
what are similarities and differences between linux and unix?
Is any virus attack to Linux or Unix?
Linux and Unix do have their share of malware, though there are fewer of them.
Does Linux use the kernel of Unix?
No, it is unix-based but Linux is a kernel not an operating system.Ubuntu,Linux Mint,Debian,and puppy Linux,ect. are OS's that use the Linux kernel.
Why does Linux and unix share more commands than windows xp and unix?
Because Linux evolved from UNIX, but Windows evolved from DOS.
What is similar to Unix?
Linux, Minix, Coherent, FreeBSD, etc. These are all clones of Unix
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.
What is the difference between unix operating system and Linux operating system?
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.
Is Linux different from unix?
yes
What is the word Linux derived from?
It may sound silly, but it is a combination of the words UNIX and Linus (Torvalds), the creator of Linux. so we get Linux , which is short for Linus's UNIX. Cheers
