Well... tell somebody you run a Unix operating system instead of Windows or Mac and keep notes on how many people say “Oh, you mean Linux?” Keep a smaller piece of paper for all the combined responses of “Oh, you mean [Open|Free|Net|Dragon Fly]BSD?” I’d be surprised if you need that second piece of paper at all.

- wolco2 6y agoI would actually think you run Unix and would never question them. If they know the word Unix they probably aren't confusing it with linux.
- nix23 6y agoHehe true, if they know whats Unix is, they ask probably MacOS, Solaris, Hp-UX, AIX, or OpenServer/Unixware...but for sure not Linux or any BSD.
