what's unix and what's not

[Nigel Weeks]

Careful.
Mosix(aka OpenMosix) is a patch to a generic Linux kernel - hardly a
variant.

There were/are distro's based on this mod - the distro is not where it
started.
Mosix actually started on BSD/OS...at an Israeli University...

Don't get yourself labelled a Zealot - it's the worst thing you could do...
