shellwizardon IBM Intellistation 185 AIX workstation (2016)

I still have to deal with a handful of UNIX systems at $WORK mostly AIX, and I don't really like it much compared to all of the Linux boxes that we mostly use. On one hand it seems to be rock solid and all of that but on the other it's like driving a Ferrari to go to work instead of a more sensitive Toyota. Most of them are being replaced by cheaper Linux servers where memory is not so pricey and mostly feel the same, albeit some memory allocation/caching difference

shellwizardon Better Shell History Search

At $WORK most of the machines are running KSH and I ended getting used to the vi shortcuts rather than the Emacs style, so I have also turned to it on my personal computers. Just append `set -o vi` to the user .profile or .bashrc file, and then you can use all of the vi key commands: /|? for searching, n to search previous results, etc.
