The main idea behind Linux was concept of free software…which Stallman wanted to give to the world as he considered sharing healthy and good.Thanks to him that we have quite a lot of version of Linux available today as we can possibly modify the source code…as it is free not like U.N.I.X which has proprietary rights associated….
unix is expansive and linux is free of cost …unix are allowed to use only by big companies which is costly ..Linux runs on many hardware platforms (runs in any platform),but typical UNIX is proprietary-hardware-bonded, it runs only in selected hardware, like sparc (and this hardware tends to be much more expensive than a typical PC).
