AIX Isn't uniX.  :)  Smitty can be your best friend (F6/ESC+6) to figure 
out how to accomplish tasks on AIX, especially when tasks can't be 
accomplished with vi (ie, modify/read the ODM).

And, there's a few things that are easy to do with smitty and 
hard/tedious to do by hand, including some SP system management 
functions.

While I generally like AIX, I've noticed that AIX's 5.3 NFS server is 
annoyingly broken.  Even through the most recent patchlevel, exporting a 
share to a few hundred hosts (listing them in /etc/exports explicitly, 
or using /etc/netgroup) seems to make the system load climb to the 
mid-teens, and eventually stop working, even with only a few hosts 
mounting the filesystem, and no other use of it.
