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:
  1. None of the them are Unix.
  2. All of them are considered Unix-like.
  3. Most are Linux distributions. Two are BSD operating systems.
  4. They all appear similar, yet all have differences.
  5. 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.
