I worked most of my professional career as an AIX admin for banks (they seem to just love IBM) and i can tell you that they use Linux in abundance. For instance, my last client (one of the biggest german banks) had ~400 AIX systems, some few Solaris and HP-UX systems (together maybe a dozen) and ~1000 Linux systems (mostly SLES) in their data centre.

For SAP HANA you are even forcced to use Linux (IIRC RHEL, SLES or Ubuntu), because even on IBMs pSeries it doesn't run on anything else.

I wouldn't invest any time in learning HP-UX because i think it is dying a slow death (mostly because HP abandoned it after Intels plan to discontinue the Itanium), but other commercial UNIXes (that means mostly AIX and Solaris) are still going strong and it seems reasonable to learn them.

As of the threads title: the question IMHO is not so much "what is good" but "what will survuve on the market". I.e. with video, Betamax was good but VHS survived. If you invested money in the worse but surviving techology VHS you were better off in the long run, sad to say.


I hope this helps.
