# Unix
*"Those who don't know Unix are doomed to reinvent it, poorly."* --obligatory quote by Henry Spencer
*"Those who don't know Unix are [doomed](doom.md) to reinvent it, poorly."* --obligatory quote by Henry Spencer
Unix (plurar *Unixes* or *Unices*) is an [old](old.md) [operating system](operating_system.md) developed since 1960s as a research project of [Bell Labs](bell_labs.md), which has become one of the most influential pieces of software in history and whose principles (e.g. the [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md), [everything is a file](everything_is_a_file.md), ...) live on in many so called Unix-like operating systems such as [Linux](linux.md) and [BSD](bsd.md) (at least to some degree). The original system itself is no longer in use (it was later followed by a new project, [plan9](plan9.md), which itself is now pretty old), the name UNIX is nowadays a [trademark](trademark.md) and a certification. However, as someone once said, *Unix is not so much an operating system as a way of thinking*.
