+ Does anyone out there have experience of IBM's AIX ?? Well, I just got PS/2 AIX. My comparison is my NeXT computer's version of BSD. My first impression is that PS/2 AIX is ugly. This impression is based primarily on the fact that AIX is based on a mini-disk system, which are sort of partitions. Moreover, I do not like the shell, since it does not seem to come with escape-recognition. The installation is messy. There are umpteen disks, and another few patch disks that one must apply. In addition, the entire system is split up into ($$s-for each) packages with their own documentation, each, which makes it a pain in the neck to try to follow what it is that you (1) bought, (2) installed, (3) inserted into the documentation, (4) have working.... I would be glad to hear alternative opinions... /ivo welch ivo@next.agsm.ucla.edu
