It was thus said that the Great David Holland once stated:
Yeah, I checked their website, (really) but I didn't find the
particular documents Pat Finnegan pointed me at..
(I still claim weather/sinus effects.)
I've heard the horror stories about AIX... But hey,
half the fun of any given computer system is trying to
figure it out. - Or trying to install Linux on it. :)
I don't know why AIX has such a horrible reputation, I rather liked
working on it (and I *love* SMIT and wish IBM would port it to Linux). The
only horror story I have about AIX is the time I worked at an ISP (late '93,
early '94) and the President of the company decided to add a SCSI disk to
the main (and only) machine, without turning it off (it was an external SCSI
drive, and SCSI is hot swappable, right?). I learned the hard way that the
partitioning data is stored as a file and when I restored, I restored the
*old* partitioning data so when I rebooted, boom!
Wow ... it's been 10 years ... my, how time does fly ...
