newbie question

me again...
hi.
there is a graph-gui called "CDE"(Common Desktop Environment), developed by hewlett-packerd, sun, Novell and IBM on alle (incl. linux) unix-systems. at the newer releases (HP-UX 11.*, Sun Solairs 8...) the install procedure recognices when you have attached a graphic card/monitor, and installs the CDE automaticly.
the CDE is designed with XopenStandard. (since Juni 1995). this stuff is free with the operation systems (unixes), but you can buy it as third party product at TriTeal Enterprises (called "TED").
the big benefit is: when you know the desktop of CDE, you can work without problems on Suns, AIXs, HP-machines (usertasks, not sysadmin tasks)
theme linux:
there are a lot of good different features on different unix-OS. AIX have got a really great disk management (VolumeManage) per default. (Sun have not, but you can install disksuite or veritas). HP-UX have got a really nice graphical admintool ("SAM"), sinix have not. sun solaris 8 brings gnu-tools "per default" when you install the developer version, HP-UX does not. so, you can find all good feature of the "big" risc-unixes in linux. for learning "user" unix, linux is o.k. (commands like ls, man, rm, mv, touch, date, etc...). but i would suggest: if you wanna get a good sysadmin, first learn on one "big" unix (aix, sun, hp or something else...), cause every OS have got it`s own internals, and admintasks (disk managament, patching, installation tasks, networkconfigs...).
now maybe you ask me where i take my skills to say those things. first i have learned for 3 years on hp-ux (9.*,10.*,11.*). then i switched to AIX, and now i am working on sun solaris. at this moment i am certified for AIX, Hp-UX and solaris 8 (sysadmin/network/clusters), and i am working "parallel" on AIX and sun. (7 years skills now)...
it would be the best to find guys/sysadmins with suns, hps, ibms. they should show you what you can do (and not) with it, but be beware: an AIX sysadmin says "AIX is great, all other is shit", an solaris admin would say "sun is great, all other is shit". the only way to check it out is to test it ....
cheers,
alex....
