The thing with AIX is that it is so stable.
That is why people like it. It doesn't do much but what it does do it does really well. The other aspect people like about AIX is LVM. Which allows you to change for lack of a better word to explain to Linux people "Partition" sizes on the fly. It also allows you to group several Hard Drives on many differant machines into one big hard drive or "VG".
Although Linux has some of the same LVM capibilities as LVM on AIX it is not nearly as well tested.
In short if you were the Sys Admin at a Bank that handled Millions of transactions a second. AIX has performed well for you for the last 10 years how willing would you be to try Linux?
