Weenix


Weenix: /wee'niks/ [ITS] n. A derogatory term for UNIX,
   derived from UNIX weenie.  According to one noted ex-ITSer, it
   is "the operating system preferred by Unix Weenies: typified by
   poor modularity, poor reliability, hard file deletion, no file
   version numbers, case sensitivity everywhere, and users who believe
   that these are all advantages".  Some ITS fans behave as though
   they believe UNIX stole a future that rightfully belonged to them.
   See ITS, sense 2.
