What you end up with is super reliable HW and and criptic OS that takes a
masters degree to figure out the commands.

Don't get me too wrong, Linux is great for what it does under the covers.
One of the strong points of  the AS/400 is it's OS/400 user interface/cmd
structure. What sold the Sys/36 was ease of use and reliabilty, Same is true
for the 400.
