Redox is a Unix-like system.
- pjmlp 10y agoUNIX like is not the same as being UNIX. UNIX is married with C by design, just how browsers are with JavaScript. Actually you are right in one thing, if Redox offers POSIX support then it needs to sandbox them.
- mixedCase 10y agoIn the context you said "Unix clones", it sounded pretty obvious you were including Linux in there. Linux is a "Unix-like" rather than an Unix.
- pjmlp 10y agoI was including Linux there, as it follows a standard UNIX architecture. There is a big difference in having POSIX support and being a UNIX. Windows, IBM i, IBM z/OS, Unysis MCA ClearPath, Green Hills INTEGRITY OS, Genode and many other OSes have POSIX support, yet their architectures have nothing to do with UNIX.
