RE: linux vs AS/400

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gee Roy, that's a small question, like asking the meaning of life !
:-)
How does Unix compare to OS/400 in what areas ?

The short, answer - for reliability and ease of use there IS no
comparison to AS/400.
If you're looking for cheap, well that used to be an argument against
AS/400 - but no longer with the new 150 & 170 models.
