Today we host an interview with Christophe de Dinechin, Software Architect in HP-UX (Software business unit, Infrastructure Solutions). Most of you already know HP-UX, the leading "traditional" UNIX today feature-wise (second only to Solaris in Unix market-share, mostly competing with AIX). With Christophe we discuss HP-UX's competition, the other... 5 OSes HP supports with its various products, the Itanium platform and more.

As an alternative for bash, there is the standard sh, which is not as enhanced as bash, but still a program like bash.
For the rest, I find it stupid that, while BSD has yacc and make, many programs need bison and gmake to compile.
And then, in some ways I do not like GNU. For example, if you download findutils it will not compile. This is a known bug, but it has not been fixed in five years! There has not even been an update in five years!
The GPL can be restrictive, too. And too long and not-understandable. For example: if I write a package under the GPL, I need to also place the installer under the GPL. But what if I want to use that installer with another product, which is not GPL? That would not be allowed if anyone except me would make a contribution to the installer.
