Talk:HP-UX

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Comparison

The comparison of operating systems is currently missing HP-UX. — RJH 04:16, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

HP-UX has been added in October 2005 193.8.177.17 12:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

It might be worth mentioning somewhere Scott McNealy's open letter to HP proposing a merger of HP-UX and Solaris. — rjamorim 14:33, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Early history

I've added a chunk of stuff written by Frank McConnell, with his permission. He's a rich source of info and a high quality reference when it comes to HP-UX, and I encourage others to add more - David Gerard 09:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

The early history of HP-UX has a lot of holes... for example I remember an HP-UX 2 laptop around 1984 which was basically years ahead of the competition and very fluent to work with. I think it had 128kByte RAM, most of its OS on ROM and a 1MB floppy drive and was a shining example how far ahead over the wintel-world unix was back then.

[edit] 11.31

The source in the paragraph doesn't mention anywhere that the internal name for 11iv3 will be 11.31 and I can't find anything anywhere else on HP's website. Does anyone have a source for this? Usonophile 17:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you could cite Steve Ciullo and Doug Grumann's performance white paper:
http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/download/files/unprot/devresource/Docs/TechPapers/UXPerfCookBook.pdf
which humorously mentions the internal versioning and later discusses 11.31 as it relates to "11i v3". — RJH (talk) 18:50, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
