List of Unix systems

Each version of the UNIX Time-Sharing System evolved from the version before, with version one evolving from the prototypal Unix. Not all variants and descendants are displayed.

Historical flow chart of Unix and Unix-like variants.

Research Unix

The versions leading to v7 are also sometimes called Ancient UNIX. After the release of Version 10, the Unix research team at Bell Labs turned its focus to Plan 9 from Bell Labs, a distinct operating system that was first released to the public in 1993. All versions of BSD from its inception up to History of the Berkeley Software Distribution#4.3BSD|4.3BSD-Reno are based on Research Unix, with versions starting with History of the Berkeley Software Distribution#4.4BSD and descendants|4.4 BSD and History of the Berkeley Software Distribution#Net/2 and legal troubles|Net/2 instead becoming Unix-like.

Commercial AT&T UNIX Systems and descendants

Each of the systems in this list is evolved from the version before, with Unix System III evolving from both the UNIX Time-Sharing System v7 and the descendants of the UNIX Time-Sharing System v6.
