It's recently been POSIX certified, or so we hear. My subjective impression is that at the USENIX Technical Conference in San Diego in January there was more discussion of Linux and than of AIX, IRIX, Dec UNIX and HPUX combined. Certainly there was far more discussion of Linux than of any one of them. Linux seems to be rapidly becoming the de facto standard to which UNIX implementations are compared, especially for performance. Tom Payne (thp@cs.ucr.edu)
