I'd phrase it differently than Baptiste. Since AIX has a JDK, you can most likely run Jenkins on it. However, there are far more people in the world running their Jenkins masters on Linux or Windows than on AIX (or hp-ux or Irix or Solaris). If you want the best chance for help from others, you should consider putting your master on one of the commonly used platforms (I prefer Debian or Ubuntu Linux), with a slave on the more specialized machines (like AIX or hp-ux or ...)
