And, AIX, well, if you've ever tried to admin an AIX box, I don't see
how you could say it wasn't "unique" especially among UNIX variants.

I know nothing about AIX or it's associated
hardware
(oh ok I know it's made by IBM). I know little more
about HP-UX. All I know is I want a box/boxes I can
run this stuph on. This is a continual plea and the
cry of my heart :(. I know there's some of this stuph
out there for me. Question is how do I get it. Thus I
turn to y'all. Please help. Please...
I've been offered 2 or 3 free RS/6000 machines over the years. Turned
'em down - not exotic or inherently interesting enough to pique my
collecting urge.
