AIX is in a world all of its own, or as they say: AIX was implemented by Klingons from a description of Unix given by a blind Romulan with a broken translator. --Mike Andrews in alt.sysadmin.recovery I haven't used Linux much heavily in the last few years, but back when I used Linux and Solaris on the same network, I thought Linux had more in common with Solaris than FreeBSD did. But FreeBSD is close enough that you'll learn the essentials anyway. > 2. Will your OS dual-boot with W2K Server? Yes, both FreeBSD and Linux are able to dual boot with W2K and other operating systems.
