I guess this counts as a success, though not in the usual sense. Just took a trip to someone else's site.

I've recently realized that I'm going to have to brush up my skills with a competing UNIX. I used to be a complete devotee of this company's product until I got a job as an HP-UX admin. I grumbled at first, but within 6 months there was no way I wanted to go back! HP-UX was king.

Well, that was almost 10 years ago and times change. I just went to the competitor's OS forum to start reading, figuring it would be as useful as HP's forums and that I could brush up my skills by answering questions.

Boy, was I in for a surprise! Their forums (assuming I've seen the real thing, and I think I have) are NOTHING like HP forums! HP is so much better, it's off the map (much like the OS difference)! HP's forums have been *engineered* and thought through -- and it shows. I know things aren't perfect, but I think we all need to give HP a round of applause...
