[[Solaris (system operacyjny)]] ?
Przecietny czytelnik moze nie calkiem zdawac sobie sprawe z tego
ze to co tam na serwerze siedzi to jest jakis "Unix".



A tak poza tym z Jargon:

Some people are confused over whether this word is appropriately
`UNIX' or `Unix'; both forms are common, and used interchangeably.
Dennis Ritchie says that the `UNIX' spelling originally happened in
CACM's 1974 paper "The UNIX Time-Sharing System" because "we had a new
typesetter and {troff} had just been invented and we were intoxicated by
being able to produce small caps." Later, dmr tried to get the spelling
changed to `Unix' in a couple of Bell Labs papers, on the grounds that
the word is not acronymic. He failed, and eventually (his words) "wimped
out" on the issue. So, while the trademark today is `UNIX', both
capitalizations are grounded in ancient usage; the Jargon File uses
`Unix' in deference to dmr's wishes.
