This book is dedicated very humbly to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley.
What is Unix? Its an evolving question that is as old as the Unix operating system itself. In the beginning, there was a clear answerUnix was what AT&T, its creator, shipped to customers and developers beginning around 1970. Its chief architects then were Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie.
One of the participating developers was the University of California, Berkeley. Early into its Unix journey, UCB introduced a number of fundamental improvements, which were made available open source to the rest of the world as BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) Unix.
The AT&T line is now defunct. BSD Unix lives on as FreeBSD, and the question, "What is Unix?", lives on in its original form with not-so-clear answers.
Largely complies in its behavior with the standards mandated by POSIX, an overseer committee
Has paid the POSIX committee for Unix certification
While the first stipulation is readily agreeable, the second one is not. Linux, quite rightly as well as righteously, refused to pay the token US$1 solicited by POSIX for formal certification. I am of the humble (but well-considered) opinion that the second norm must be this and this only:
An operating system, the base (kernel and essential binaries shipped by the operating systems maker) of which is fully open source.
Note that this norm permits vendors to provide closed-source drivers, which is what happens, for instance, with nVidia graphics cards and many Epson printers. If the operating system installer prepackages any such closed-source drivers, this must be transparent to the end user.
Linux, which belongs to the GNU family.
FreeBSD, primarily a part of the BSD family, and secondarily of the GNU family. (The BSD family has more players: OpenBSD/NetBSD/DragonFly.)
So this is what Unix is per the definition this book considers relevant for the day: GNU/Linux and BSD/FreeBSD. Any POSIX-compliant system, Apples MacOS X for instance, that is not open source in its base qualifies as Unix-like.
Once you begin to agree with the proposed definition of Unix, you can readily appreciate why this book has been given its pithy title: Beginning Modern Unix. I do hope the book does justice to its title.
If you have any comments or suggestions for the books improvement, feel free to email me. I have an email address that no one else has.
Manish Jain

studied Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, graduating in 1992. In 1998, he switched to computer programming of his own volition, and of his own education.
Following an intense period of learning, during which Manish acquired expertise in Unix and C/C++, he went on to work as a software programmer for some illustrious organizations: IBM, Pitney Bowes, and Cognizant. This was between 2002 and 2014.
Medical issues, some dating back to his childhood, then forced Manish to stay at home and do the other thing he loves: write. Between 2015 and 2017, he wrote for a variety of outlets on a freelance basis.
Beginning Modern Unix is Manish Jain's first book.
has more than 23 years of experience in security, web/mobile development, and cloud and IT architecture. His true IT passions are security and Android.
He has been programming and teaching others how to program with Android, Perl, PHP, Java, VB, Python, C/C++, and MySQL for more than 20 years.
