There are lots of happy Linux people out there, too. I run AIX for a living now -- having done VMS, some 4.x BSD, some HP-UX, SunOS, Solaris, SVR0, SVR2, Perkin-Elmer/Concurrent Xelos, Masscomp/Concurrent RTU UniPlus SysIII, UniPlus SysV, Coherent. (As for AIX as mangled SysV -- I don't think it is -- it's OSF/1 based more than SysV, but more SysV than BSD -- I think). Anyone out there know the full lineage of AIX?
