Wrong: "Yep, I have UNIX experience!" Right: "Yep, I have Unix experience! I have worked on Solaris which is a bonafide Unix system. I also have experience with Unix-like systems like FreeBSD and Debian GNU/Linux."

Solaris and AIX /are/ UNIX. Solaris is derived from SunOS, which is derived from 4.2BSD, which was directly licensed by Sun from AT&T via a UNIX source license. Solaris and SunOS were both certified as UNIX. Similarly IBM licensed AT&T UNIX and derived AIX. It is still certified as UNIX. The Open Group holds the UNIX trademark and copyrights and conducts the certification and licensing process these days.

No matter how many times you say it, you are technically incorrect. UNIX is a valid piece of terminology when referring to commercial Unix OSes.

  > Solaris and AIX /are/ UNIX. Did you read my comments carefully? I am saying the same thing as you are. I am saying that Solaris and AIX /are/ bonafide Unix systems in all my comments.
