Q. I know that Mac OS, Linux, Open Solaris, and BSD are related to Unix, are there any other operating systems that are based on or related to unix? Please don't not include variants of any of that already mentioned operating systems, such as FreeBSD, Or any Linux-based distros.
Also, is there any other family of operating systems separate from Unix?
I guess what I am looking for is an OS which could be run on a modern computer.

A. PalmOS (hand helds)
Amiga (think they are still making a niche OS)
VMWare - more of a container, but it could be seen as a specialized OS
Brew (used on cell phones)
VAX
Mainframe
IBM OS2

Not sure why I didn't just go here in the first place but here is a big list of OSs:

What are the fundamental difference between Windows,MacOS, UNIX, and Linux operating systems for personal comp?
Q. What are the fundamental difference between Windows,Mac OS,UNIX,and Linux operating systems foe personal computers? what Unique do mainframe operating systems have?
A. Well, I could list about 50 differences per operating system. But if you want the fundamental ones, here they are:
Windows:
* Huge market share, so the most support from third-party hardware and software vendors, including graphics-intensive games and other niche software.
* Comes preinstalled on almost all consumer computers sold.
* Securing is difficult but possible (definitely use a limited user account all the time, no matter how inconvenient)
Mac:
* Pretty to look at (sturdy, polished exteriors; smooth animation, high-resolution icons)
* Expensive
* Well-integrated experience if you go all-Apple (Apple TV, Cinema Display, Airport Extreme, iPhone, etc.)
Linux:
* Extremely flexible, as small or large as you want, live CD/USB or installed, built from the ground up or pre-built
* As long as you don't have obscure software needs, software installation is the easiest you can get
* No activation codes or fees
* Very few preinstalled options (or ones that are badly configured or not configured at all), so you may have to troubleshoot some compatibility issues
That's pretty much it. I could definitely go into the details more, but the last time I did that, Yahoo! Answers cut me off.

What is Solaris 11 like, and is it good anyways?
Q. I know it is a UNIX operating system, and that it came out very recently. I have some questions about it. Is it open source/free? How does it work? What can it do? What skill level do you need to use it? What is the GUI like? And I am doing a science fair project about what operating system is the best. I already have Windows, Mac, and Linux down, now all I need is to find an OS to represent UNIX. If you have any other suggestions tell me.
A. The GUI used is Gnome 2.
It's main purpose is that it is optimized for SPARC processors and the ZFS filesystem. It is designed for high I/O, many threads, and stability. It's ideal to run databases on.
If you want a more generic Unix system, freeBSD is a good one to try.
