That's very true, I'm guessing that the RS6000 you have is the old c10 that I tried linux on at one point. I finally got a copy of AIX5L for it. 5L is actually quite close to linux (L for Linux affinity) and will still give you all of the GNUness to play around on a different architecture. Only problem is that even IBM no longer supports the MCA Ethernet cards that I found on Ebay so my only network connectivity was a serial PPP link to a linux server.
