been able to choose between solaris, AIX, HP UX and maybe redhat
linux.
I know that this question depend on the region but I will like to read
a couple of opinions about what is the UNIX flavor that is more common
among commercial companies.
Since I usually train mid size companies I would like to study first
the flavor that is more common. Any Suggestions?

This is a bit late of a follow-up, but cygwin must be right up there.
You get the simultaneous M$ Windows, Unix shells, and X-windows.
Launching M$ apps from the unix shell is simple ("cygstart").

Yes, but you don't get the full unix flavour, because basic OS elements
are missing in windoze ;)

Would you be speaking from a network admin perspective? From a plain-
old user perspective, I found cygwin to be more flexible and up-to-
date than a solaris system I was using. The plain-old user can update
and add cygwin packages whenever he/she wishes, while only a sysadmin
can do that on a more traditional networked unix . Well, you still
need admin privileges on your own PC, but that's a typically
considered a lesser risk than in a sysadmin on networked unix.
