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! No BSD, but an easy solution to your problem. Backup the system and hide the tapes.
