 I think that you can always compare with ice creams.

 UNIX is an ice cream brand.
 It have many flavours: Bell/AT&T, BSD, Xenix, AIX, A/UX, 
 Coherent, etc.
 There are other brands.
 MINIX which have only a flavour.
 Linux, with many flavours as RedHat, YDL, Debian, etc

 Hello from Gregg C Levine
 Go ahead and laugh, but your server could be having a bad day today.
 That being said, I am curious myself, as to the differences. Can
 someone come up with the definite explanation regarding which is
 which?

 I'm trying to discern the difference between a variant and a  derivative.
