very true it is the icing on top of every UN*X rice :)
Why the * in Unix? Sorry if I am naive ๐
Linux is technically not Unix
Right, but what would replace the * in that case?
Unix or Un?x
Or am I totally off course here ๐ค
Un*x is just another way of saying Unix-like, sometimes its refereed to as *nix
this Wikipedia page talks about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like
Thanks!
