New to HP Forums

Hi guys,

I am new to HP-UX. Could you guys help me in studying HP-UX. First of all, I would like to know whether HP-UX is downloadable freely and available in x-86 like sun solaris. Becoz, I don't have any HP machine to practice to commands, if that is free of download and x-86, i can download and install it in my machine and can practice the commands.

Thanks and Regards,
S.Thiyagu.

Sorry, the answer is no and no. HP-UX is not freely downloadable and only runs on PA-RISC or Itanium architectures.

Hi

for the feeling you can practise in a linux distribution.

Hi:

Welcome. I'm sorry, but HP-UX is neither free nor available on commodity hardware.

You can usually find some old servers or workstations for sale on ebay. You might look there.

Regards!

Hi there.
If you have Linux on your system, you can train most of the Unix commands. If you then go to a HP-UX system, there are only some differences. I did it the other way, no problem.

Hi

Unfortunately HPUX is not a freeware and you can use could buy a book on HPUX,there are quite a few of them in the market.

Also could you take sometime to assign points to your questions since people are taking time to answer your questions.
