AFAIK the latest version of AIX (AIX 5L) is based on Linux (at least this is what I heard that the 'L' stands for), so I think that there is definitely a big connection with Linux and AIX if anyone cared about it. Other than that, I agree with Eli. Emil On Thu, 5 Apr 2007, Eli Billauer wrote: Ladies and gentlemen, Sincerely, I can't see the point of this discussion. A group of people wants to meet for a lecture. What reason in the world could there be to stop it? I mean, for all I care, if someone wants to make a lecture about how to manufacture icecream at home (with no computer or OS involved), and enough people are interested, why not? One could argue that lectures about any subject would overfill the queue. Well, if that happens, I'm sure someone will find an elegant solution. Let's leave this kind of arguments to the religoux-il list.

Re: [Haifux] lecture proposal
Hear hear. People are interested, we should have the lecture. If anyone isn't interested, simply don't show up. (Liking the ice-cream manufacturing idea...

Re: [Haifux] lecture proposal

Other than that, I agree with Eli. the L stands for linux, true. it is there to claim a linux affinity, which ironically involves no code whatsoever from linux itself. it doeas, however involve lots of FOSS. it's much like sun's SFW. furthermore, i love ice-cream manufacturing. anyone want a lecture?
Re: [Haifux] lecture proposal
as haifux. We already had talks about OpenSolaris. And given the fact that Boaz has just volunteered himself, I think we can trust him to put enought emphasis on the relation between AIX and Linux.
