"Linux is a clean easy to use os"
Basic things require kernel rebuilds... That sucks. If no changes are
needed it will run forever but it is far from easy to use.
"redhat"
POS.
"IBM has practically abandened AIX in favor of Linux"
Yeah, and the mainframe is dead... LOL. Don't count AIX out; it's not
going anywhere.
"have the development manpower"
Bunch of hacks...

Well, with respect to a "Linux system" there are some growing pains for sure

comes with it. But with respect to the Linux kernel, and command tools,
development tools, servers, etc., Linux is a clean easy to use os.

Redhat is not my favorite Linux distro, but it is not a POS. For a Redhat
type Linux distro I like Mandrake and recommend that to friends learning
Linux/Unix.
