I'm working a lot with RHEL these days and not particularly liking it much; Unix is Unix, but the philosophical appeal of the GPL and having access to the kernel source code doesn't help me much when I'm trying to get a system built and running, on a deadline. I'd rather have an operating system that gets along fine with my hardware, without me spending hours on Google and combing through the archives of various forums and mailing lists trying to track down obscure "known issues" and "workarounds" with kernel release X, driver Y, and device Z. And don't even get me started on Red Hat RPM-dependency hell. I've spent a lot of time there, too. HP-UX and Solaris are both the bomb, as far as I’m concerned.

Fucking brilliant. An HP-UX/Solaris hybrid would rule. I learned Unix in an HP-UX environment and worked with it constantly day-in and day-out for a good 6 years in the 90s. Fucking brilliant.
