What Unix differences? :-)

[Don Harrop]

All the Unicies share a lot in common.  Most of my background is with
Linux flavors but recently I've been interviewing for a job as an HP-UX
admin so I've been playing around with it to see the differences.  Not
many in my opinion.  Why people are demanding 3+ years experience in any
specific flavor of Unix (Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, whatever) just seems
stupid to me.  They're not THAT different.
