What you have to understand is that in the case of the kernel, AIX is

In reality, AIX is the ultimate Unix clone since it's one of the few
Unix-like OS' that is actually be branded as Unix(tm) by X/Open.
Linux is a Unix-like OS and can't use the Unix(tm) because it can't
pass the X/Open conformance tests which is a requirement for being
able to use the Unix trademark.
And for extra credit, what Unix(tm) is the highest volume Unix?

Peace... Sridhar
We know. :-)
There are things I like about AIX, but I have a hard time
considering it to be UNIX, and *I DO NOT LIKE* IBM's attitude
towards support of tape drives. >>
than AIX or HP-UX, but that's just a question of preferences. :-)
I have a HP PA-RISC box under my desk at work, but it's not
plugged into the network. I scavenged it to refresh my HP-UX
skills. I used to be an HP-UX Sys Admin, same with AIX, SunOS
and Solaris, which is why I dislike AIX as well. I really love
Solaris, but am now stuck with Linux and Windows.
I think Doc Shipley and I must be the only people who *like*
AIX. ;-)
