*nix
Refers to various derivatives of the UNIX operating system, and systems inspired by it which are similar in design and user experience. All of these operating systems are completely superior in every way to Windows, that is, if you know what the fuck "sudo chmod g+w /usr/bin/p*" means.
Some notable UNIX-derived and UNIX-inspired systems:
- AIX
- BSD and derivitives (DragonFlyBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, WhiteHotShitBSD ...)
- HPUX
- IRIX
- Linux
- Minix
- Ubuntu
- Solaris (earlier and internally SunOS)
- Mac OS X
- Windows NT
- Game Boy Advance
- God
- LUnix - not only a Something Awful joke.
