Hanorac,
FYI, most UNIX systems function the same and use the same commands. The major difference I've found between AIX and Solaris and Linux (the systems I use) is in filesystem architecture. As far as AIX is concerned the SMIT tool can do most system change functions for you or you can use it to help build scripts, whereas the Solaris equivalent (admintool) is not an equivalent and doesn't do the same things. Since I'm a command line guy anyway that doesn't bother me. But I did find SMIT useful when I was new to AIX and I recommend you study it and use it for the more complex tasks as it helps put the steps in the order they should be for the AIX system. I have found a good site with a large collection of UNIX SysAdmin related links that may contain the information you're looking for. It's located at
Hope this helps. Good Luck, I hope you enjoy AIX. And remember you can always come here for help from the myriad knowledgable people who visit.

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
