All,
Note that Tom's reference - at least in the version of the post I received -
seems to cause dropping of the final right bracket.
Probably all most folk would need to know about this is contained in the
following paragraph from the Wikipedia article:

AIX on IBM Mainframes
In 1988, IBM announced AIX/370. AIX/370 was IBM's first attempt to offer
Unix-like functionality for their mainframe line, specifically the
System/370. AIX/370 was released in 1990 with functional equivalence to
System V Release 2 and 4.3BSD as well as IBM enhancements. With the
introduction of the ESA/390 architecture, AIX/370 was rebranded as AIX/ESA
in 1991, with its kernel source code based on OSF/1, and ran on the
System/390 platform. This development effort was made partly to allow IBM to
compete with Amdahl UTS. Unlike AIX/370, AIX/ESA ran both natively as the
host operating system, and as a guest under VM. AIX/ESA, while technically
advanced, had little commercial success, partially because UNIX
functionality was added as an option to the existing mainframe operating
system, MVS, which became MVS/ESA OpenEdition in 1993.

I think it was ported to IBM's mainframes.

It should provide the customer the same benefits as Linux on z/Series....
