Let's re-write this as:
Anyone used to any one particular OS will find another
particular OS a bit "wierd" in this respect.
I think it's safe to say, that though UNIX is UNIX, and Linux is
UNIX, that if you *really* know one variant, trying to switch to
another, though not hard, does turn up some idiosyncrosies which can
lead to confusion and/or frustration.
(The following are meant to be rhetorical questions, however, they
may prove interesting excercises for some :)
For example, anyone know what /etc/fstab is under:
- AIX
- Solaris
or what /etc/exports is under:
- Solaris
How about trying to change the hostname of a system between:
- Solaris
- Linux (actually, RH, Debian, etc, are all different)
- True64
- HP-UX
- AIX
For that matter, how do you change the networking interface information
between:
- Red Hat
- Debian
Tux forbid you're an NT admin trying to learn "The UNIX way" :)
