HP-UX on my laptop

[Victor_101]

HI guys,
I am a support guy for a couple of hp-ux systems , the novice that i am i wish to practice a bit more since i dont always have access to the hardware , i was wondering if there is a trial/demo/free or even licensed version ( if i have to ) of the hp-ux os that i can install on my normal compaq evo notebook ? ( like i have the solaris 8)

Hi Victor,

Nope, there is no HPUX for laptops.

Try to locate a low priced workstation on ebay.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Victor,
can't run HP on laptop.
I would suggest talking to your manager to get a cheap workstation. This will save on downtime and callout charges! Well worth the money, so is some manuals/books.
The best way to learn is to play with the workstation until it breaks and then fix it.
If using ebay have a look at the unixnerd page.

Hi Victor,

HP-UX *only* runs on PA-RISC & Itanium-2 processors. So if your laptop does not have either of these - you're out of luck.
And as far as I know, nobody has ever built a laptop with a PA-RISC CPU and nobody - to date - has released one with an Itanium-2 CPU as well.
If you want to run HP-UX check e-bay for a used D, R, or even a K-class server or even a B, C, or J-class workstation. They can be had *cheap* nowadays.

My 2 cents,
Jeff

There were several PA-RISC laptops (or
maybe "portables" would be more accurate)
in years past...

The Tadpole PrecisionBook and Galaxy portables were extremely expensive when they were produced.
