    I'd have to say one of the biggest things is the Logical Volume Manager.
    No other O/S has such a robust set of tools for managing disks. Just my
    2 cents.

    Subject: RH or SuSe Linux VS AIX

    Someone is trying to tell me RH or SuSe Linux is just as good as AIX; so
    why pay IBM's costs?

    I prefer IBM for the following, but what else am I not thinking of?

    IBM Support is second to none,
    No kernel or patch updates which can be daily if using RH and SuSe,
    Better admin tools such as mksysb, cfgmgr and hot PCI Tasks, Better CPU
    performance.

    What else?

    TIA!
