Hi,
Having used Solaris (20+ yrs), HP-UX (10+ yrs), AIX (5+ yrs), IRIX (5+ yrs) , DEC Unix (2+ yrs), Cray OS (2+ yrs) and Linux (8+ yrs) each operating system has its own peculiarities. In my experience as a Systems Administrator you seldom get a choice over the OS you have to use, so if the company is an AIX shop then that is what you use. So one OS v another OS has a limited arena where it will have any effect. It tends to be applications driving the OS choice unless it supports multiple OSes, then performance/hardware costs become important and finally support costs. Sometimes you get a choice over the OS used because it is not imposed then you use what you are happiest using. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
