A/UX (Apple Unix) is a Unix OS from Apple, first released in the late 1980's as an easy to use Unix OS that is compatible with the contemporary Mac OS. A/UX's GUI is nearly identical to contemporary Macintosh Finder, but modified to include Unix features. Also included is compatibility layer to emulate or run programs from System 6 (A/UX 1 and 2) or System 7 (A/UX 3.x). | |||
In the command line, A/UX has a feature that makes filling out commands easy, and was designed to be the most user-friendly Unix OS. Its Unix ancestry is mostly from Unix System V, with features incorporated from BSD. | |||

Although she is a Unix-tan, she does not consider the Unices to be her family, but rather the Apple-tans who she lived with in her childhood and up to 1996. She has been a wanderer since then; she got evicted from the Apple family during the worst of the OS Wars because she was too costly to keep around. She still has close ties to the extended Apple Family, and visits on occasion. | Although she is a Unix-tan, she does not consider the Unices to be her family, but rather the Apple-tans who she lived with in her childhood and up to 1996.
