RE: What is an IBM Power Server really?

IBMi is one of 3 core operating systems that run on the Power Hardware I believe.

IBMi, AIX and Linux

I wouldn't think of IBMi as a GUI layered on Unix, although with PASE under the covers that could be close 😊

subject: What is an IBM Power Server really?

If I was to refer to an IBM Power Server and being a big UNIX system, with a nice GUI over it called IBMi (or OS400) .... Would I be that far off?

After all, isn't the ROOT directory for the entire system like a UNIX File system ROOT directory?

I realize that within this ROOT directory there are other files systems like QDLS (Folders) QSYS.LIB (DB2 for IBMi) etc.....

If I'm accurate in describing the IBM Power Server like this, I just might get some of the skeptics to at least think about it a little more.
