OS notes By IBM, with input from System V, BSD, etc. etc. Runs mainly on IBM RS/6000 and related hardware. Data General was aquired by EMC in 1999. Derived from 4.4BSD-Lite and 386BSD. This table does not include external packages from /usr/ports. Hewlett-Packard. SGI. SVR4-based (rh) = Red Hat,
Mandrake, Suse,...
(deb) = Debian, Libranet,...

(SuSE) = SuSE		 Darwin is the Open Source foundation for Mac OS X, descended from NeXTStep aka MP-RAS Derived from 4.4BSD-Lite and 386BSD. This table does not include external packages from /usr/pkg. Forked from NetBSD in 1995. Security emphasis. This table does not include external packages from /usr/ports. Fujitsu Siemens. Based on DC/OSX from Pyramid, SINIX
from Siemens, and SVR4. To be replaced with Solaris by 2008.		 SCO UnixWare 7.0.1& SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 became Caldera Open Unix and later became SCO again. SVR4-based. Solaris 2.0-2.6, 7, 8, 9
(SunOS 5.*)

BSD-based 		(Digital Unix, OSF/1)

Footnotes

1. In System V-based Unixes, run level relates to booting, shutdown, and single-user mode. In BSD, it has to do with security.

2. Freeware or separately downloadable; not part of the base OS. See the precompiled binaries task or web search.

Universal Command Guide is a large book which covers several of the OSs in this table. See http://www.allcommands.com

UnixGuide.net has a similar table covering fewer Unix versions and a somewhat different set of tasks. See http://unixguide.net/cgi-bin/unixguide.cgi

coolcommands is a search engine giving one-line command examples: http://www.coolcommands.com/index.php?option=com_cc&Itemid=28
