I came here to ask, does anyone know what Unix means in this context?
- patrickgzill 16y agoApparently "Unix" means "Linux" as the way this can be implemented varies from Unix to Unix. Actually the introduction of this in the kernel back in '97 or so caused the company I was working for a lot of grief, and a quick recompile, since after a kernel upgrade the binaries we supplied were no longer working reliably.

- slava_pestov 16y agoI should say, Unix in this context means any Unix-like system that Factor runs on (Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X)
- sprout 16y agoThere are several claims made in the article, and I'm skeptical that all of those things are completely true for all of those.
- slava_pestov 16y agoEach one is true for at least one of those platforms.
