Date: 15 Dec 1994 17:23:47 GMT Organization: James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA Lines: 10 Sender: mcro_Greg@jmu.edu Message-ID: <3cpu33$pr4@doc.jmu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: tch32.cs.jmu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Does anyone know of a cheap (<$1000) or free *NIX varient that runs on IBM RS6000's? Due to some squabbles with IBM, our school will not be renewing a license IBM claims includes AIX. As a result IBM wants to "wipe" the drives on our machines. Essentially, IBM is saying, "pay us $9000/yr, or you lose the ability to use your machines." Any help finding an affordable replacement to AIX would be greatly appreciated. Help us fight the big blue monster!
