My vote is to not worry about HP-UX compatibility. Others will probably
think differently. To me, the idea of having Linux on my system is
to avoid using HP-UX, which has become bulky, buggy, and inefficient.
I suppose the decision for others will be based on the importance of
their legacy HP-UX apps. I am more interested in the freely
available open source applications that I can build and fix myself.
Regards, Jason.
