you claim in back to back posts you supposedly don't like people who refer to Linux as UNIX

Now you're just back to lying about my posts again. My how fast you degenerate. You were doing pretty well for a while, and in the last week you've fallen straight down to troll again.

We'll try it again for those with less than a first-grade comprehension level:

Linux is a UNIX. It is a subset of of the set of all UNIX-like operating systems. This is true.

Linux is not itself the set of all UNIX-like systems, thus to use the word Linux to reference all of UNIX is not correct. Neither is to use the word Linux in place of the proper name of another specific UNIX operating system. It is these uses that annoy me.

just another perfect example of your circle talk

Simple statements of fact can seem like "circle talk" to the confused and mentally disturbed. Just nod your head to yourself if you can understand this simple concept after being told a few times.

Linux is a UNIX.

No it's not, it's a "Unix-like" clone comprised of a foreign built kernel and a userspace referred to as "GNU's NOT UNIX" (GNU). See that, NOT UNIX. You're simply wrong, and no one will apparently ever be able to explain it to you. And rather than admit your clear mistake, you'd obviously rather launch personal attacks and flop and flail about as if some cruel injustice has been done. But go ahead if you enjoy the punishment, cause it's a twofer for me.
