I think that all of the machines running HPUX should be turned into Hockey PUX.
It's an even worse OS than AIX (pronounced "aches").
I'd take Tru64 over Hocky S^HPUX any day...

And what about Solaris? No Volume Manager by default, you have to buy one from Veritas. No decent graphical admin tool for newbies (like HP-UX's SAM or AIX's SMIT). And what's this with home directories being in/export/home? HP-UX has some strong HA software in MC/Service Guard, where SUN's clustering is crap (but their partitioning is very nice, a feature only recently introduced to HP-UX). If you really want a clean UNIX, stick with the BSDs. The commercial ones are all somewhat of a mess.
Slashdot Mirror
(0) large company 1 merges with large comany 2 to become super-large company, LargeCo.
(1) things are cut and tweaked for months
(2)LargeCo takes as much money as it can from the general populace, exactly as it was designed to do.
(3) in 2 years everyone looks back and says, "gee, we shouldn't have merged. Oh well, we're still good at taking people's money!"
