A recent article by Tony Smith from The Register titled "Mac OS X 10.3 Panther will not be a 64-bit OS" caused a good deal of confusion with many people, including me. It is also caused a heated argument here on OSNews. The basic point of the article is that Mac OS 10.2.7 and 10.3 are not "true" 64-bit OSes, but the article does not clearly explain what a "true" 64-bit OS is. This had led to a lot of claims that the article is false or misinformed, rather than just unclear, which is certainly is.

I use, Irix, Linux, FreeBSD, AIX, some Solaris, and Tru64.
AIX is a very good Unix, you will find that some people hate it, but I happen to like it a lot. In my experience is more reliable than the others, I mean it needs less baby sitting. I usually set my AIX boxes and off they go, not much intervention is required after initial settings, with the others I am always adjusting stuff here and there, which is ok, as it provides employment. Just MHO.
