OS question
Since I've joined LQ I've seen quite a few different names of Unix/Linux type OS's. Could someone give me a quick run down of what OS's are for what?

Hi Kage6060, Welcome to lq. Have a look at distro watch.
Good Luck. ;-) |
Hmm, there really is no specific purpose of a Nix OS.
SUN Solaris SCO OpenServer SCO Unixware IBM AIX HP UX Linux - I won't even go down to the specific distributions BSD - many variants here also Apple OS-X - yes this is Unix ... well BSD there are still more NCR Unix IRIX Lynx ... |
Not really a particular purpose for any distro. I would not that each distro is certainly targeted at different audiences.
Check out distrowatch.com. IMHO Ubuntu or PCLinuxOS are a couple of the best for new users. |
Some distros have specific uses, e.g. rescue & recovery, targeted at old / resource poor systems and so on. Most distros are genereal purpose however.
