- How many average IT deparments have AS400's or even more tough HP3000's that have a single guy that knows how to operate it and no one else? Linux is far more friendly
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
I accidentally bought a second-hand machine with HP-UX on it - it's perfectly good and nice, but just frustrates you if you're used to Linux or Sun or BSD by doing everything just differently enough to wind you up ... and online resources are somewhat scant by comparison, too. -- Fergus Wilde Chetham's Library Long Millgate Manchester M3 1SB Tel: +44 161 834 7961 Fax: +44 161 839 5797 http://www.chethams.org.uk
