Almost all of these also run on Unix and BSD, as is, or with differently named programs so they are not Linux only.

It has been quite some time now that we are using the SI standard where a kilo-something is 1000 something, a mega-something is 1000 kilo-something, and so on. Therefore 1000KB is 1MB.
We use the IEC prefixes kibibyte (KiB), mebibyte (MiB), and all to designate the binary prefix where 1000KiB = 1MiB.
