No.  Linux is POSIX, plus selected parts of System V and BSD, and some
original bits.  It's very much like every other Unix, without being a
hodgepodge of nonstandards.

That being said, are you just against System V, or are you for BSD?
If you have a religious attachment to BSD, you might prefer FreeBSD
(http://www.freebsd.org).
