I'm just getting my hands dirty at work supporting some AIX
boxes. From what I've seen, most of the differences are low level
stuff. They have "smitt" (?) which does low-level config like RedHat
has their control panel. They have something cross compatable. For
printing they have lpsched I believe, but I believe they also have lpc
for compatabilty.
