+1, I can only add, that my last port job took 1 manmonth (30manntage) and was not nearly as big as AOO. The problem wth aix is that is tried to cope with all standards at one time. Just a simple example, you would need to get jre6 and jre7 running in parallel on a aix box. The second problem is that the S/390 flavour and the risc flavour of aix bear the same name, but the kernels are hugely different (just about as identical as windows8 and macOS), but that is normally something only developers see. The S/390 flavour used to support virtualbox and kvm (my info is about 3 years old), and that could be the hero of the day, with vx your would be able to run eg windows7 and install a normal instance of AOO. rgds jan I. > Marcus > > > > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > dev-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.org<dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
