I have used AIX extensively as well as DEC-Unix for the Alpha. I now exclusively use Debian/GNU Linux for both Intel and Alpha machines. I have found Debian to absolutely be the easiest to maintain machine, no doubt whatsoever. IBM provides the most difficult to update machine, period. I have literally given up on IBM machines and sent them to salvage because the updates and security patches were too time consuming and expensive to make it worth the effort. Debian's "apt-get" is an administrator's dream come true for installing and updating software. You obviously have not tried Debian yet.
I have also tried a number of Linux distributions and continue to be open to testing new distributions using vmware. These include Slackware, RedHat, SUSE, Xandros, Progeny, etc. Debian still remains my favorite.
