Re: A comparison of Unices?

[Kevin Mitchell <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use Linux, Digital Unix (OSF), AIX, and Solaris here.  Personally I
think that Digital Unix is the closest to Linux that we have here.  Most
commands are identical and install is a snap.  There is also a setup
utility to setup networking, DNS, etc.

The big differences:
- Digial Unix uses licenses per user.
- You never ever want to type killall (This kills all processes by the
user!)
- Rather than /dev/hda1 you have /dev/rz0c

We also GNUified our machines by adding bash, gnu-tar, less, and of course
fortune. ;-)
