I think that may change, in it's own way... Here is what IBM is saying about
Linux & AIX 5L Ver 5.1
(we just have to wait and see ;) More stuff at
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/os/51spec.html
Linux affinity for flexible solutions
AIX provides a wide choice of critical UNIX business
solutions, leadership
technology and strategic flexibility for the future. A
strong affinity between AIX
and Linux provides APIs that allow popular applications
developed on Linux to
run on AIX with a simple recompilation. These APIs work
in conjunction with
Linux open source software available separately from IBM
as the AIX Toolbox
for Linux Applications. Customers can port existing
Linux open source
applications to AIX, enhance those applications and
develop portable
applications utilizing common Linux development tools.
AIX incorporates Linux compatible APIs and header files
to provide source
compatibility. AIX and the AIX Toolbox for Linux
Applications can help
customers realize a smooth technology transition between
two of the
industry's most open standards-based operating
environments, AIX and Linux.
