Can you run Unix on ext.part with
Win/** ??

<div>
Yes, you can run Unix on an extra partition. &nbsp;However, it must be on the primary physical drive on most Unix flavors. &nbsp;You'll also need something that knows how to boot multiple OS' like System Commander.

Since I have never seen it or used it<br />
I am a little intrigued...So I would<br />
appreciate a few answers:<br />
What is Unix?Is it operating system like<br />
windows with installation/setup and<br />
the rest?<br />
Does it run on PC or what?<br />

What is Unix?

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
