Dell CIO Says "Unix is Dead"

An anonymous reader writes "I thought this might spur some good discussion on this board, including jabs at Dell and MS, which I always enjoy reading. Dell's CIO believes that the end of Unix is here, in fact his opening slide in a recent presentation was "Unix is dead." Specifically, he talked about the savings he claims in moving Dell's Oracle databases from Solaris to Red Hat.

Give me man pages or

[spun]

give me info files, but don't make me dig through some disorganized doc directory and don't make important docs available only as .html, .sgml, .ps or whatever, pretty please? Not every system has the tools to read those. If I'm using ssh to admin some server that's maxed out on some clogged pipe, I want small simple tools and concise man pages. Most of the time, I can't remember what flag does what. Frankly, sometimes I can't even remember the name of the command I want, and 'apropos' comes in handy if the command has a man page.
