mostly install and run pre-packaged items on them, such as webservers, 
databases, etc.  In my poking around, I see that there is active 
development with AIX in mind, but if I am understanding correctly, there 
are no current AIX packaged distros --- they have to be built by the end 
user.

Is this correct?  Can we purchase compiled packages and binaries for our 
environment?   Or is compiling a build/package something that is trivial? 
(I suspect not).    For now, these boxes would only really be "clients", 
if that makes any difference at all.    And if I am wrong, and should be 
looking elsewhere for more recent AIX binaries/packages I would really 
appreciate a point in the right direction.  I'd really be grateful for 
some guidance here. 


At this point, I'd be remiss not to thank all the folks behind the 
project.  From my  personal usage, its clear what a phenomenal project 
this is. 


Thanks much,

d.

I think that is all for AIX..</font>
