RE: what is the difference between unix and linux?
UNIX and linux both has GUI. They are different at their kernel level. UNIX systems were created in 1970's by AT&T. The code was not open source and it was the most advance machine for software professionals.Inorder to get the open source version of UNIX Linus torvald had created similar kernel to UNIX. This slowly got famous with name LINUX .. stands for LINus unIX(LINUX). Both of these OS has GUI.
In todays world its only matter of which kernel is used. Is it Linus Torvalds or that of UNIX group itself and thats the point which decides which is that system linux or unix.
