Unix is the general OS idea which includes processes + multiprocessing, memory protection schemes so processes don't trample on each other, networking and many other features. Netware is a version of it from Novell (I think). Along with others like SunOs/Solaris, IRIX, etc..., it is a commercial unix. Linux is a free version of unix based on System V. Other free unices include FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD which are based on the berkley version of unix. (The 'B' in BSD) eric haszlaki@uiuc.edu
