Re: linux vs AS/400

[James Turnbull <jamest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting theory on SCO Unix.  Having worked extensively with Linux and SCO I
have to say that a Linux machine, properly maintained, is a) more stable b) more
flexible c) has better features d) is a genuine open system.  Still the AS/400
better than Unix.  Just my .2 cents worth...
