Thanks to everyone for making the Installfest a success. It was good to
see so many folks having Linux installed, others for coming down to
help, and some providing Star Wars and soda. I believe we had a pretty

That's very true, I'm guessing that the RS6000 you have is the old c10
that I tried linux on at one point. I finally got a copy of AIX5L for
it. 5L is actually quite close to linux (L for Linux affinity) and
will still give you all of the GNUness to play around on a different
architecture. Only
