ARCHIVED: What is HP-UX and where can I get it?

HP-UX is the Unix implementation Hewlett-Packard uses on its PA-RISC workstations and servers. Though it incorporates some BSD features, as well as its own customizations, HP-UX leans toward System V. With the release of HP-UX 10, it is SVR4 with some aspects of OSF/1.
