Definitely AIX . very stable.used in larger mission critical applications. i. e Banking ATM EFT switchers, DBMS
I suppose we can't argue on AIX because it is more stable than Linux ...but I have *never* had a Linux box panic on me after going into production, not you can't get less than zero.
AIX is more stable than linux since our company also using it for 10 years without any big issue.
AIX on power is more stable than linux. But recently IBM has been funding too much on linux, which indicates AIX is going down soon
A more relevant question would have stated application domain; and I really do not understand how someone can recklessly answer with "AIX is more stable than Linux" so superficially. Having deployed substantial systems running both, AIX being specific to RISC-6000, AS-400 and legacy 360 platforms, as well as Linux systems running on deployments as large as thousands of cores in Cray and IBM deployments, I can very safely say that the question is irrelevant - compare like for like, applications and domains, and the maybe, just maybe, the conversation might get informative and intelligent.
AIX is more stable than LINUX since it is proprietary OS owned by IBM, and which is intended for carrier grade system.
In different situation result is different.Depends on what you want/need to do. For nearly everything I do, AIX is much more convenient and a better choice than Linux. That said, I do use RHEL and SLES on POWER and find that it works well and has its place in the overall ecosystem.
If we are considering stability as key factor AIX is more stable for environment where large application are running.
However, Linux is good for small applications like mail server etc.
Cannot define whether Linux or AIX is better for your envirenment. BTW Linux can be suggested as it's mostly used in wide ragnged of envirenments. and there is enough experties in now days for Linux.stalibility can be defined only what is the envirenment and what are the applications services are you running on the platform.
