message: I've added a chunk of stuff written by Frank McConnell, with his permission. He's a rich source of info and a high quality reference when it comes to HP-UX, and I encourage others to add more - David Gerard 09:20, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there is still copyrighted code originally produced by AT&T in HP-UX?  What sort of license was obtained from AT&T, and are royalties still paid to Novell or SCO? -- Beland (talk) 14:57, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: LVM was definitely introduced in 9.00, although for s800 only (probably s600 too) - we still have a box running 9.00 and it has lvm!
Some years for various versions are somewhat misleading, in reality they overlapped more: e.g., 9.10 was only introduced in 1998 or 1999, with the purpose of providing Y2K-compatibility for s300/s400. Also, I seem to recall running 6.x already in 1988.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tapanit (talk • contribs) 04:06, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm not if it is important or even relevant, but at one point, the US Navy used a significant number of HP-UX run computers on it's ships.  I'm not sure if they still do or not though.--Rockfang (talk) 21:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

message: HP-UX had its own graphics and windowing system called "Starbase graphics", about which something probably ought to be said. (I don't see anything about it elsewhere on Wikipedia either.) I used this system in 1987 and 1988. It didn't use an event loop like X but was interrupt-based. As I recall X was not available for HP-UX until 1989, at least, that's when I remember switching to it. The graphical part of Starbase seemed to correspond pretty closely to GPIB. I have only a few memories and no documentation so I can't write about this but perhaps somebody out there can.Bill (talk) 05:41, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  At least a short description of this graphics library should be included.  A search on Google Books turns up some references 75.142.26.186 (talk) 16:13, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

message: See the section on my user page.
This article generally seems biased, and there have been HP employees editing it from unregistered IP addresses at least in 2008-2014. It's understandable that they edit, but because some of their additions are heavily biased (and, less so, because they didn't declare) the article needs to be reviewed.
