The "&&" says "if the previous command was successful, do the following 
command. So, if you have a command "isthislinux" on your machine (I do 
not) and it returns the string "LINUX" it will issue the ulimit command. 
If you do not have that command or the command returns something else, 
it will not.

So, the short answer is: yes

Okay, I'm confused.  How would bash interpret this line?

[ "`isthislinux`" = "LINUX" ] && ulimit -S -n 65536

Would that be teh same as:

if [ "`isthislinux`" == "LINUX" ]
then
   ulimit -S -n 65536
fi

This is quite confusing to me.
