What is *nix?

*nix is short for Unix, but is most often used today to refer to any Unix-derived operating system such as Linux, Solaris, BSD, and Mac OS X.
These are often referred to as "alternative operating systems" since they're non-Windows operating systems. Most *nix variants are free and developed for the community and by users who would like to contribute in some way to help better the operating system.
NixBasics.com is a community-driven website for the exchange of information of *nix operating systems.
