I once worked at a shop that supported their product on a variety of Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms. Most of the development was done on Windows, but there were some there that favored Linux and a few, Solaris. The machines running HPUX were primarily used to debug issues that arouse only on HPUX. I think the machine running HPUX was old and slow, so none there favored it as a devlopment platform.


Same. I ran the build farm at a large company, and HPUX was there solely to build releases and run their tests. I never touched it for any other reason, and that as little as possible.

Egads, was Itanic ever slow for anything not manually optimized to run on it.
