Help understanding differences between AIX and RHEL

Shock! 
I suppose I would be in SHOCK too if I went to pure Linux anything after over 30 years of UNIX.
For years there has been talk of "generic" *NIX - and for many commands, generic works. However, "distributions" of *NIX, including Linux (which is usually lowercase, not upper case) all have there differences.
The little I know of Linux makes me doubt that Linux volume management has not gotten farther than the "divvy/fdisk" like ways that were common +- 12 years ago.
But they are different from using smit (as admin interface) or the *vg, *lv, *fs commands to make, change, remove volume groups, logical partitions, and file systems on AIX. Basically, every *NIX has there own way of doing the administration - and the "rosetta stone" approach is probably an excellent start for you own cheat-sheet.

INADYN.CONF(5) File formats and conventions INADYN.CONF(5) NAME
inadyn.conf - configuration for the inadyn client for open DNS servers. DESCRIPTION
inadyn can read the very same options which can be present in the command line from a configuration file. This feature allows the user to write the options only once, and avoids frequent retyping. The format of the file follows the *NIX tradition: a '#' character denotes a comment. The long options (those with '--' in front) can also be placed at the beginning of the line without '--' signs. a can be used as an escape character. EXAMPLES
1. #Some comment about inadyn cfg file --username test --password test --update_period 60000 --alias test.homeip.net --alias my.second.domain 2. --username test # user --password test update_period 60000 # some other param without '--' alias test.homeip.net SEE ALSO
