Nov 17, 2010 at 6:51 comment added Cascabel I don't really find it arrogant, and I don't think your analogy is particularly persuasive: Linux, though unix-like, is not A Unix, while Ubuntu is absolutely a Linux [distribution]. This is not to say that the current name is perfect; I'm just not totally sure about your reasons.

Nov 16, 2010 at 23:33 comment added Cascabel It's too bad one can't google for "nix" or "unx" - I'd be curious to compare those to "unix family" and "unix-like". For what it's worth, "unix-like OS(es)" is far more common than "unix family", but unix family is probably a cleaner name for a title.
