SUMMARY: Tru64 to AIX (OT)

Thanks to everone who replied.  Many had the same
questions for me, so I'll just answer them in the
Summary.

First, since I work for a governmental agency, we can
not sell the Alphas.  They have to be auctioned.  It
will be a local Denver auction.  If anyone has
interest in that, let me know and I'll try to remember
to give you the dates (probably a year away).

Second, is that for some reason the
[email protected] address keeps getting
returned to me, but I'm not worring about that.  There
are pleanty of good Aix groups based on google
searches and IBMs web site.

Lastly
Aix was settled on mainly because of an Oracle /
Oracle Apps ERP project, and that was the consultants
preference.  I have worked with Aix in the past, and I
do like it, so I was fine with that recomendation. 
It's a very developed and robust OS.  It's gone so far
away from traditional Unix though, that it's hard to
even call it Unix anymore. I prefer traditional Unix
files and strucure, but Aix gives the sysAdmin tools
far supirior to Tru64 (IMO).

I guess the last straw for me was when HP abandoned
AdvFS and TruCluster.  Then I really had very little
incentive to move to HP-UX.  I ruled Solaris out based
on the uncertainly of Sun corp.

Thanks for everyones input!
