Technically, FreeBSD is actually a Unix, in that it actually derives
from Unix code. HPUX, Solaris, AIX, etc are all derived from Unix, but
they're all different, so it requires some relearning moving from one
*nix to another, no matter which one you start with.

There really isn't a pure UNIX anymore.
