Pronounciation

Is it pronounced "System Vee" or "System Five"? Dismas 03:01, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is pronounced System 5. System 4, 3, 2, and 1 were earlier versions. Also, I'd like to point out that IRIX (A SVR4 with BSD extensions) is not mentioned in the article and is not present in the graphics of the UNIX tree.--RageX 04:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, there were no Systems 2 and 1, AFAIK. This is interesting though: does anyone know where the name System III came from? I had System III source code once (which must still be somewhere on the web), and it's documentation referred to it as UNIX System 3.0.
IRIX isn't in the tree because it isn't important enough. But maybe it should be mentioned in the article, in a list of System V derivatives? Qwertyus 14:16, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Chart is not NPOV

Calling the operating system GNU/Linux is taking a POV in the GNU/Linux naming controversy.
