Seconded, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

To me, AIX feels like a Mercedes and Linux feels like a Volkswagon.
It's a sad pity IBM seems to be pushing Linux more than AIX and that
they keep killing AIX with Java crap and Tivoli bloatware.  Never mind
their recent position that "AIX is not a workstation operating system".

AIX is the finest operating system I've EVER used on anything short of a
real mainframe.  VMS comes really, really close, but I'm still something
of a Unix bigot.
