I can't think of a lot of use for a 10yo RS/6000

much use on the desktop today.
I guess I should add, that there are 10-year old RS/6000s (43P models)
that run current versions of AIX (5.3), and can run most any OSS you'd
want to throw at them.
I spend most of my time using konsole (kde tabbed xterm), kmail (IMAP
client) and firefox. Beyond that, everything else is mostly just
another X-windows or console application.
