I can't help but notice that a lot of people here grumping about AIX have only used it in 4.3.3 and earlier. 5L was a major step up, and the recent 5L 5.1 adds even more changes and makes it a lot more Linux friendly. For more on that see:

But, and this is important, AIX isn't Linux. It doesn't feel the same, it doesn't act the same. With the Linux affinity, you can bring a lot of Linux open source over to run natively on AIX, but this isn't like hopping an app from Red Hat to SuSE.
