Why run AIX?  The mac OS X (Jaguar or Panther) is essentially running
BSD Unix with a graphics front-end.  Using the Terminal will get you
right to Unix in line-mode.  I understand Panther even has X-windows
support.

Subject: OT: New Mac G5


Hi,

   I'm considering replacing several existing development workstations
with a single G5 Mac.  The G5 would run Linux natively with the
following
applications:

   - Mac-On-Linux (for running Panther and Jaguar)
   - Hercules (to replace my aging P/390)
   - Bochs or Wine (for running those few Windows 2000 apps that have no
     native Linux client)
   - I would *LOVE* to be able to boot AIX on this thing, but I have no
idea
     if that is possible

   Has anyone any experience with the G5?  Any advice?

Cheers,
Arty

P.S. I'd load the G5 to the gills with RAM and DASD.
