I will second that statement. We had to print to an AIX/Infoprint server. - We had to mess around for a few hours getting the client part to work on a Wintel (eventually got a : printing subsystem is out of resources<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... typical windows...). - Firewall-ers were telling us the packets were getting thru - although SMIT was denying activity on it's nic. - Finally I setup a simple LPD : IP\pqueue from Xandros and in seconds I was printing (it was spooling on the Infoprint queue).
So for the maturity part of the AIX - I will withhold judgement until I see more to impress me. Security-wise, I see _sooo_ many bulletins going around that proprietary UNICES no longer have bragging rights to that. The last straw<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... the stability - my home linux systems (proportionnaly as busy as here - without redundancy of hdw, and no clustering)<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... I see it as a clean sweep... and we haven't even mention licence fees<nobr> <wbr></nobr>...ahem !
