I've worked extensively with Solaris, IRIX, Linux,
and AIX for over twenty
years (not Linux - only since release 0.9?) - and in my opinion, AIX has
features that from it's inception were better than it's competitors -
Logical
Volumes when no one else had them - and SMIT - which
made system
administration simple. I've worked with AIX on accounts which had
migrated
from mainframes to AIX - and was pleased to find it
could scale to meet
the
challenge.
HP has had LVM for as long as I can remember as an optional add-on, and SAM
even longer. Wasn't SAM around long before SMIT? I vaguely recall thinking
that SAM came out first and IBM copied the idea but I'm not at all sure at
this. Anyone know for sure and can set me straight?
