Looking for more Unix Linux

[Christoph Georgi]

might look like a stupid question, but i still didn't quite get what
exactly is the difference of unix operating systems and linux.. i got as
far as unix being a mere specification of an os, and i suppose that *bsd
fulfills the requirements of this specification, hence, unix-derivat,
but what then is linux?! a unix-clone...?(and what would that be?)

thanks for any pointers
