"looking for an individual with some experience in LAMP development, general Java/HTML, networking, unix systems; Providing general IT Support for the company will also be responsibility. You will be troubleshooting software, phone, and printer issues." Is that a real person? Maybe they mean javascript? Would make it a helluva lot more reasonable. "General maintenance of our server back end (mix of Unix Clones running LAMB)" Also, maybe this means LAMP and what "Unix clone" is actually in use other than Linux?

not that these people seem to know what's going on, but LAMP would suggest Linux.
BSD "is" Unix according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix#/media/File:Unix_history-simple.svg but I suppose they might mean Unix, as in a thing named that that no longer "exists".

The only unix clones I can think of off the cuff are GNU/Linux, Minix, QNX and GNU (the Hurd). OSX and the BSDs are all Unixes. HP-UX, AIX and Indiana/Illumos/Solaris/SunOS are/were Unixes.
Javascript/HTML and LAMP is probably the intended content. And by unix clones they probably mean GNU/Linux.

QNX did not know about. Are Minix and Hurd used in production environments? Just curious more than anything.
If Minix and the Hurd would be used in production somewhere, I can't think of a good reason why. Possibly because someone made use of file system translators in the Hurd and built their business entangled with that, but that's unlikely.
