Are there any alternatives ? I have been using Solaris 2.5.1, and Linux at home but they are different (please correct me). However, I can play HP-Ux at school but I dont have root priviledge therefore I can not explore any futher. Could you please suggest which OS (solaris, Linux, BSD) is the most resembler the HP-UX? ( I mean the user interfaces, and commands not the source codes) One more please . . . Will the source code or binary for HP-UX, run on other platforms as well? example is the TACACS+ from cisco. Every help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Thong.
