Program automated websites using Apache/PHP/PERL/UNIX SHELLs/MySQL under most flavours of UNIX (including Apple MacOSX and Linux). nOTE: lthough Linux is not a UNIX but a kernel, everything else you see and use is GNU (see Richard Stallman and Co.).

An interesting UNIX information site to look at is [http://www.levenez.com/unix UNIX Timeline].

Wikipedia

In terms of Wikipedia, its important to use words with their original meanings and not fake new meanings with no supporting documentation, though I can't spell or as some would have it - type properly (or visa versa). See Kangchenjunga, Himalaya, Yeti and Welsh names.

UNIX is key to the survival of the human race, it is mostly free, it is green, its is generally unseen but does all the REAL work.
