Sense & UNIX; la Internet no existiria, o almenys encara tindria un aspecte força diferent. & UNIX; no ha cobert, fins ara, les necessitats d' un usuari promig d' ordinadors. Aquest fet és particularment desafortunat, ja que una sèrie d' implementacions de & UNIX; Linux;, FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc) estan disponibles de manera gratuïta a la Internet, totes elles són d' una qualitat i estabilitat excepcionals.
Without & UNIX; the Internet would not exist, or at least would have a vastly different form. & UNIX; has not, until now, addressed the needs of the average computer user. This fact is particularly unfortunate, since a number of implementations of & UNIX; (Linux;, FreeBSD, NetBSD, & etc;) are freely available on the Internet, all of which are of exceptional quality and stability.
