Weenix

( /wee´niks/, n.)

   1.  [ITS]  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.)

   2.  [Brown University] A Unix-like OS developed for tutorial purposes
   at Brown University. See
   http://www.cs.brown.edu/courses/cs167/weenix.html.              Named
   independently of the ITS usage.
