This new section covers reviews of UNIX-like operating systems, including OpenBSD, PC-BSD, Solaris and their derivatives, spins, forks, as well as hybrid versions. While it could be cozily nested as a sub-section in the Linux category, I decided to split the two, since UNIX, despite its inevitable spiritual legacy and influence on Linux, is a separate operating system. There are also a few other, independent operating system articles listed, like ReactOS, Haiku, and KolibriOS. I hope you will find this category informative and useful.
A few select, recommended articles are shown as thumbnail previews just underneath this paragraph. A full listing of published articles is available farther below.
