IBM's search engine *NEVER* makes sense. =)  That I can expect.  I haven't played
much with their redbooks, but am familiar with what they are.  Any good books on AIX?
I've seen some at Barnes and Noble, but forgot the names.

That bad?  I hear some people love AIX, and others curse on it.
I just want to learn as many flavors of UNIX for work experience, as I'm
going back to school now, instead of working full time.

And I already downloaded the FAQ, which I'll upload to my SS2 webserver
later tonight for easy viewing.
