By Linux do you mean the proper kernel definition or the multitude of distros like Slitaz, Bharat, Siduction, HandyLinux, Qimo for Kids and Russian Fedora Remix?

The new POWER8's will have updated versions of RHEL and Ubuntu on POWER I'm told, optimised for POWER - fantastic, looking forward to it. AIX is clunky etc, but its LVM stuff is A1, a doddle compared to Linux, hopefully IBM will have merged these things which would be nice.

When this new crew of incipient burger-flippers finally notice their mistake the project re-lapses into desuetude. At this point it is sufficiently famous to be recommended on forums as the best/only way for Linux users to achieve xxxx. Where xxxx is entirely unrelated to any of the aims of either the original or successive updaters of the project. Which, surprisingly, is in fact the case, it really is the only/best tool for job xxxx under Linux : everything else is even worse.
Linux is not just a piece of sh**, it is, like the bogs at a festival, multiple independent mountains of poo, accreted independently by thousands of people acting at random with entirely different aims in mind.
The UI is beyond poor and the implementation needs to be chucked away and completely re-written. Hopefully without the absurd fantasy that a heirachy of miscellaneous scripts can form a useful basis for an OS.
