Difference between Linux and UNIX
UNIX is a multiuseroperating system developed by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie in 1970 at AT&Tbell lab. UNIX is proprietary software. Meanwhile, no one can duplicate this
operating system because the source code is reserved for the company. UNIX is
rigid with hardware and mainly used for server-based machines. UNIX has a high
cost and capacity with limited versions because only companies can build new
versions.
Linux is a family ofopen-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operatingsystem kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.
