You guys really over-reacted about this.
Says the guy who waded into a thread about an OS he never uses,
complaining about thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gear

I think this is too harsh.
He has a point after all. AIX is a dying and marginal OS just like
Solaris. So having a very powerful machine in the farm, that sits idle
most of the time because it has very few regular users, feels like a
waste of resources.
But it was provided for free by IBM, that is right?
It can't be said to be a waste, because it is not wholly belonging to
the compile farm; it is provided with certain conditions attached, that
it runs AIX. That's why it's given, I think?
