This is what excessive and intermittent work hours & consequential stress end up causing:

My long held comparison views on the commercial non-Intel Midrange UNIX OSes out there based on my own experiences & expectations, being as generalistic as possible:

AIX >> ( Linux/*BSD > Solaris > HP-UX )

Now the amount of each I've seen out there which has been or is being deployed:

Solaris >> ( Linux/*BSD > AIX > HP-UX )

(Where > is greater than and >> is much greater than).

Naturally combine Veritas software with any one of the above greatly puts the OS it self out of the bigger picture within Midrange. HP-UX seems to be going out of the door for a while now.

On the other hand SANs and Virtualisation seem to be in the spotlight these days more so that any OS out there. OS has largey become something that simply makes all the hardware work together to run the App/DB. 

Now if I could only run AIX on something that's not a pSeries... Can run Solaris within VMware quite well, but AIX, no such luck even with AIX 6 Open Beta & PearPC...
