Same for me. I administer a network consisting of HP's and two
PC's. I'd have to say HP-UX is more like 75% of an OS. The other %25
comes in the form of patches. :-( Admittedly, 10.x is much more sensible
than 9.x. I guess it just feels like a modern OS. ;-) Of course the lack
of Rock Ridge extension support in their cdfs is pretty laughable.
