UNIX

I have always loved the history of Unix and all its variants.

If I had to choose an operating system for servers it would be AIX, in my opinion it is the only current operating system that meets the philosophy of UNIX.

And in many aspects it was ahead of its time as its volume manager (LVM) and JFS, it was not until ZFS that someone had "similar" things.

If I have to put a but, I never liked the ODM (AIX Object Data Manager), I always found it a move similar to the Microsoft Windows Registry, and really the serious problems I have faced with AIX have been due to ODM database corruption.

And your great documentation, an error code, an explanation.

Too bad IBM never wanted it to be open source.

Si, Unix AIX era una verdadera maravilla, en la Universidad en México era lo que teníamos y eran una verdadera maravilla.

Teníamos el sistema de ventanas Motif, y había una pelea entre los que preferían Unix Solaris de Sun, porque decían que para la gente que se dedicaba al diseño gráfico era mejor.

Después me prostitui 😂 y me pase a Mac, me arrepiento no haberme mantenido en Unix/Linux

Que buena esa imagen!

Did the ODM come from OS/2? That would be a common ancestor to Windows and AIX.

ODM is only present in AIX
