wait do people actually think this position requires Unix (not linux) experience? I assumed the recruiter must just be wrong there.

  It is not uncommon to come across open positions that actually do require Unix (not Linux) experience. For example, American Express has a large deployment of AIX systems and they indeed look for candidates with experience in AIX systems, although I believe someone with experience in another Unix or Unix-like system should also be okay. But I agree that such openings are usually quite specific about which Unix system they are working with.

    AIX specifically as a preference is different than anything that works like a Unix system.

    This is true, but I would imagine that, if not in the job description, if a really specific kind of Unix experience is required, it would come out in the exchange - and be really OS specific and actually say - True64, AIX, Solaris, etc. "Unix-like" today means bsd/linux. The recruiter did bad, but recruiters will always do bad. If its a job you want, don't let a recruiter foible disqualify you, if you can help it.

      This is kind of out of left-field, but are you the same Smirk from AC/MT (~17 years ago)?

        Nope, not it!
