I've got quite used to using 'man' now, to get my head round the *nix
command set, and it's sinking in. I've been using Linux since early '99,
whereas my OS/400 experience goes back 12 years, but odly enough it's the
Linux side that creeps through. I quite often find myself typing the
likes of rm instead of dltf, etc, on an OS/400 cmd line but I've not yet
done it the other way round.

Ditto. I don't see any conflict in someone being both.
