That's not the issue though. The question is when you *are* talking specifically about Linux, what do you say? UNIX is a registered trademark though - you can't legally use it to refer to Linux. You can talk about UNIX-like operating systems - although that's rather a fuzzy term. Microsoft used to claim that WinNT was UNIX-like. ---- Steve Baker (817)619-2657 (Vox/Vox-Mail) L3Com/Link Simulation & Training (817)619-2466 (Fax) Work: sjbaker@xxxxxxxx http://www.link.com Home: sjbaker1@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.sjbaker.org
