I'm certainly not going to get deeply into this (wonderful) discussion, and
Terry knows a lot more about these things than I ever wanted to know, and
seems very reasonable in his arguments. However, I had to fix a couple of
mistakes in this AIX list.
: AIX features that are more modern than equivalents in Solaris:
: 2) Motif environment shipped with system by default.
Solaris 2.4 and 2.5 ship with Motif run-time
: 10) A kernel that is *never* recompiled by the customer.
Certainly everyone is clear that Solaris ships without a C compiler
for this very reason... :-) Sun really needs to take care of this!
