Well... not so much!  If you want "real" UNIX, go for a BSD or
God forbid, SCO OpenServer.

Their pedigree is from AT&T UNIX (SYS V Rel 4?) which is considered
to be the "real" UNIX.  However, as time has gone by, Linux has
far surpassed them.  So, as for UNIX-like operating systems, Linux
is one of the best "UNIX-like" operating systems.  Mac OS X is based
on BSD - so, if you want "real" UNIX, it could be a choice too...

Linux is my choice.  Just my 2 cents.

SCO OpenServer?  Well, valued even less than my 2 cents!
