We've got a huge installation of HP/UX systems, and the Unix
guys are constantly applying patches.  There seems to be more
patches coming out for HP/UX than any other OS we've got, which
is saying a lot (I think about the only OS we don't have in-house
is Irix, but I could be mistaken on that).

When I see what problems are being fixed, I wonder if HP does any
kind of quality control or testing for HP/UX.

Remember the "HP" in HP/UX stands for "Hourly Patch".

I like Tru64 better than Solaris and HP/UX.
