Unix
Much of Unix's history is rooted in open-source software. The Unix version of Mozilla is an exciting, open source project that encourages all developers to help build the better browser. Mozilla has a cross-platform (XP) architecture using the Gecko layout engine and XPToolkit, and the primary UI is implemented with GTK+.
