OSNews, Generic OSes Yankee Group's second annual Server Operating System Reliability survey polled 700 users from 27 countries worldwide. The latest independent, non-sponsored Web-based survey revealed that all versions of UNIX -- which typically carry very high workloads -- are near bulletproof, achieving 99.999% reliability. IBM's AIX UNIX led all server operating systems for reliability with just over 30 minutes of per server annual downtime but Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems also got high scores.

BSD isn't either UNIX or UNIX-based anymore?


BSD is UNIX, there are two major trees in UNIX history, SVR4 UNIX and BSD UNIX, but what do that have to the survey? The survey even mentions Ubuntu Linux.

All BSDs (FreeBSD / NetBSD / OpenBSD) uses original 4.4BSD UNIX OS code as a base.

There are even books about BSD UNIX:

http://amazon.com/BSD-UNIX-Toolbox-Commands-FreeBSD/dp/0470376031/

...

Why do people always ask questions about obvious things?

What I was TRYING to say:
Why are you complaining that BSDs weren't mentioned???

The latest [...] survey revealed that all versions of UNIX [...]


BSD ⊆ "all versions of UNIX"
