[BBLISA] Desktop policies and UNIX-ish operating systems

[Dan Schlitt]

I suspect that I have a few years on Adam, but we come from a similar 
background. My UNIX experience started with V7ish UNIX on DEC LSI-11s 
and has been through lots of versions since then. I'm very command-line 
oriented and I find that on OSX I can do most of the unixy things that I 
want to do if I take into account its ideosynchrasies. Just like I had 
to do on AIX, HP-UX and most of the other versions of the OS. And the 
various distributions of Linux are included.

POSIX was the great effort to define the one true UNIX. It largely 
failed. Only lawyers make fine distinctions about what is UNIX and what 
isn't.
