    Haiku is what grew out of the ashes of BeOS. And if you’ve never heard of that, you’re no worse off. It was another Unix-alike that was neither Linux nor BSD which showed early promise but didn’t gain enough traction.

      ?

      When was BeOS and Haiku UNIX-alike?

      Very different beast, as far as I understand.

        The BeOS command line command set were all borrowed from or based upon Unix and/or Linux (IIRC many were straight from GNU), which is the basis for my comparison.

        The kernel and graphics were all from-scratch and radically different from Linux, sure, but the same could be said of Linux when compared to the original Unix, or any of the BSDs.
