This category contains Unix-like systems designed for reduced hardware footprints such as legacy computers and embedded systems, not including systems that would have been state-of-the-art when the product was introduced (therefore leaving out ancient UNIX systems, for example, which are lightweight by modern standards).
Evolution of Unix and Unix-like systems, starting in 1969. A Unix-like (sometimes referred to as UN*X, *nix or *NIX) operating system is one that behaves in a manner similar to a Unix system, although not necessarily conforming to or being certified to any version of the Single UNIX Specification.
All versions of BSD from its inception up to 4.3BSD-Reno are based on Research Unix, with versions starting with 4.4 BSD and Net/2 instead becoming Unix-like. Furthermore, 8th Edition Research Unix and on-wards had a close relationship to BSD. This began by using 4.1cBSD as the basis for the 8th Edition. In a Usenet post from 2000, Dennis ...
There are a number of Unix-like operating systems based on or descended from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) series of Unix variant options. The three most notable descendants in current use are FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD, which are all derived from 386BSD and 4.4BSD-Lite, by various routes.

QNX (/ ˌ k juː ˌ ɛ n ˈ ɛ k s / or / ˈ k juː n ɪ k s /) is a commercial Unix-like real-time operating system, aimed primarily at the embedded systems market.. The product was originally developed in the early 1980s by Canadian company Quantum Software Systems, founded March 30, 1980, and later renamed QNX Software Systems.
Unix workstations of the 1990s, including those made by DEC, HP, SGI, and Sun The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) was widely used on Unix workstations. The Unix wars continued into the 1990s, but turned out to be less of a threat than originally thought: AT&T and Sun went their own ways after System V.4, while OSF/1's schedule slipped behind. [46]
