It really depends on what you're going to admit knowledge of, as far as I can
see.

If you're going to claim that you know your way around a command line, and
understand the core concepts of Unix, as well as the fundamentals of admining
a Unix system.  And if you're going to say that you've been using Linux and
FreeBSD for a certain length of time, I think you'll be in a good place.

You may be surprised at how AIX behaves on a low level, though.  Like if you
start looking through it's sysctls (does AIX have sysctls?) or if you peruse
the /etc directory to see how things get started at boot time.
