Linux is just another version of Unix but with some slight differences. For example, there are lots of different versions of Linux because it's more popular but there is only a handful of versions of Unix such as FreeBSD. Linux is typically more like a GUI environment where Unix is more directed for die hard users. Unix is also many respects more secure than Linux though both are more secure than Windows (by far). Mac OSX is based off FreeBSD if you didn't know about that - so it's a Unix based system.
