Re:Three good reasons for using Linux instead of A

I have worked with AIX,HP-UX,SCO,UNIVELL,and LINUX.

AIX is by far the worst of the bunch. IBM always tries to put there twist just to be IBM.

There is a reason why the Unix community calls AIX
"Ain't Unix".

I think Linux will became more and more the choice as things go forward. I think all the O.S./Hardware vendors will make there own distro that will support the 64bit/32 cpu type environments. ( Which is available now for Linux, but the majority is still 32bit Intel based systems.)

Once the OS is proven to scale well in the 64bit world. I think you will see the application developers really start pushing Linux for the simple reason, one version of Code - for Linux, whether it run on IBM,HP,SUN, or whatever hardware.

Just - My two cents.
