AIX is no real Unix at all. It just happens to look a
bit like Unix. ;-)
It's an interesting dichotomy: internally, AIX is nothing like Unix, yet it
is part of that handful of commercial operating systems certified as UNIX(tm)
03 (with Solaris, HP/UX and, yes, Mac OS X).
Allegedly the earliest versions were SVR1 and -2 derivatives, but 3.2.5 was
already diverging and I don't think there's any of that code left in the
kernel now.
I liked OSF/1 a lot.
