I am not a newbie to Linux, i have been using Linux as my desktop for 4 years, but i am just an end user to Linux, no advanced knowledge to it.
I knew that, i can download generic linux kernel and compile it by myself, but how about Unix? how can i get an Unix kernel and compile it ? or no this thing?
Unix like kernels were in picture from a long time. But due to its limitations it is not as successful as linux kernel. What are those limitations.
Basically I want to understand the fundamental/advanced points which describes the differences between Linux kernel and Unix like kernels? Please be specific to Linux and Unix internals only.
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to really know about Unix?
I'm planning to learn Unix/Linux as much as possible to be able to expert on Unix system.
I have a few questions in regard to Unix system
1. How come they are so many different type of Linux, and do they follow same standard commands in the Unix system? I'm afraid of having so many choices selecting right type of system.
2.
I need some advice regarding my career. I have been working for a major it company in a unix based support project. I have not learnt much in the 2 years except for basics in unix.

Tamcore KernelPS: This is not my kernel, i'm just in touch with Tamcore and we thought to do this thread on XDA to have a place to talk about it.
What is the linux kernel ?
Quote:
The Linux kernel is the operating system kernel used by the Linux family of Unix-like operating systems.
Is Oracle Solaris officially declared UNIX?
I want to know all the official UNIX presently available in the market (whether free or paid).
Please correct me if I am wrong:
To the best of my knowledge, an operating system must satisfy all the terms and conditions as laid by the owners of "UNIX", The Open Group, to be coined as UNIX.
Linux is an UNIX-like kernel almost resembling UNIX but still ope
I was reading the design of unix OS by Maurice J bach and had a confusion.
Suppose a process requests for a buffer for disk block number 18. The kernel searches for a free buffer from the free list. Let the first buffer (say buffer for block number 5) in the free list be marked as delayed write.
