Would it help if I explained I've got a RS/6000 sitting under my desk at
work that I'm not about to give up, not even for a Linux box? It's old,
it's slow, and it's been up for well over 6 months. They've been trying to
get me to give it up for over a year now.
I was refering to the ancient RS/6k's about the size of a BA123, that we
still have a bunch. They make good chairs, a bit high, but they're built
like a rock.
Of course don't take any of this as meaning that I actually _LIKE_ AIX!

Number 7?!?!?!? Give me a break, there is no
better coffee table than a
BA123, unless it's perhaps some of the IBM RS/6000's (and that's all
they're good for)
Zane, where do you live? Bill Donzelli and I need to make an
appointment to come out and hurt you. In over 15 years of Unix sysadmining, AIX is the one
with the best
tools I've found from a commercial supplier -- if somebody was to
port SMIT to Linux, my life would approach perfection.
