Well, I find that Solaris has the best help (for a non open source product) 
and in some cases, the documentation Sun provides on the web are better 
than the how-tos I've used. Solaris also seems to be much more stable than 
HP-UX and AIX, even on their own hardware. Tru64 is pretty good. I fear 
that it's on it's last legs, after Compaq and now HP get through with it. 
If HP was smart, they'd migrate the HP-UX users to Tru64...

Thanks for that. I hadn't looked at it that way before.
