It was thus said that the Great Miles O'Neal once stated:
I'll admit that some of the damned odb stuff is annoying (mostly
because the documentation is down to IBM standards), but between
the F4 key (I like plagiarizing when I code shell scripts) and the
Logical Volume Manager [I hear rumors of work on that for Linux, so
my hopes are up -- hell, ever since IBM joined the Apache team, I've
got no idea where the world is going -- then Intel bought into Red
Hat].
By the way, whover was making the threat to someone else, I'd love
to have an RT myself. Second best keyboard ever made.

But half your UNIX commands are no longer relevant.
They might be present, but they may or may not do
what you expect. There are a whole bunch of extra
commands to manipulate the odb, some intuitive and
some not. So any time you can't use SMIT, all your
UNIX knowledge is useless.
And when, exactly, is the time when you can't use SMIT?
I bet the main reason most sysadmins hate SMIT is that it makes the job
too easy and thus they are fearful for thier jobs.
Me? Hey, it leaves me with more time to hack 8-)
