This thread is the wrong place to discuss Unix history, which goes back more than thirty years. But I will state this much regarding all of these systems you mention:
- None of the them are Unix.
- All of them are considered Unix-like.
- Most are Linux distributions. Two are BSD operating systems.
- They all appear similar, yet all have differences.
- The Linux distributions are closer to each other than they are to the BSD operating systems. BSDs have a completely different history and a very different internal technical structure to Linux distributions.
