It highlights the fact that a central management interface for the maintence and configuration of AIX makes AIX more cost effective to run than Windows NT server, and several other ``popular'' operating systems. I believe I posted the article on -chat, if you want to look in the archive. > So, to address the original question, of "When will have SMIT" > (paraphrased) - I hope the answer is "we won't - we'll (someday) > have something better"... The answer is ``we will have a system management tool, hopefully this year'' ... since I have never seen SMIT, I can't comment if it will be ``better'' or not.
