There I have to disagree. OS/400 is one of the best operating systems ever
written, I don't see anything else coming even close to it in terms of logic
and power of the command interface. Its only drawbacks are the text only
interface (powerful but unsexy) and IBM's incredible lack of marketing skills
Never seen HP-UX first hand so I can't comment on that, but I have heard some
pretty horrible stories from friends who've worked with it
