Unix Commands  vs  Linux Commands

Command Basics

Unix and Linux share many basic commands. For example, ‘ls’, ‘cd’, and ‘cp’ are common in both systems.

Shells

Unix typically uses the Bourne shell (‘sh’). Linux often uses the Bourne Again Shell (‘bash’), which has additional features.

Compatibility

Linux aims for backward compatibility with Unix, but differences in commands and features can affect script portability.

File Systems

Both systems use hierarchical file systems. However, Linux supports more file system types like ext3, ext4, and Btrfs.

Permissions

Unix and Linux use similar file permission systems (‘rwx’), but Linux has extended access control lists (ACLs) for finer control.

Package Management

Linux installs software via package managers (like "apt" and "yum"). Unix often relies on manual installations or tarballs.
