Am I misremembering, or doesn't AIX use substantially different commands for managing things, rather than the commands typically found in /sbin and/or /usr/sbin on "normal" Unix systems? I thought that was another motivation for the "space alien" quote, rather than only the kernel. I haven't actually used AIX/370. I used AIX for the RS/6000 only long enough to get disgusted and get an illicit copy of AOS, which was BSD 4.3, which I knew how to use.
