RE: AIX vs Solaris

The administration of Solaris has always been much more straightforward than with AIX. AIX maintains this internal database (sort of) about how things are set up, so it doesn't take kindly to you doing stuff "by hand". AIX has command-line commands (???) to do things, but they are usually very complicated and require a prodigious memory. The administration of a Plain Jane Solaris setup can easily be done entirely by hand with the exception of one thing -- printers.

Talk to a REAL Solaris admin and you will hear: GUI?! We don't need no stinkin' GUI!

Of course, the same thing could said about REAL Oracle admins. But that would be inflammatory. So I didn't say it.
