I like AIX a lot, but you need RS/6000 hardware to run it, and unlike a PC, you cant go to your local wholesale parts shop and pick up a sysplaner and a case, a firmware card and everything else you need. And RS/6K's arent very cheap, but they are stable and reliable, if i had some spare cash i/d get myself one to run AIX on. Maybe someday i'll finally go to the surplus store across the street...

If you want some entrenched market share, look into IBM's RS/6000 Line and AIX. While some RS/6000 stuff may be considered legacy, go check out an S-80 or an SP, and lots of little companies use 43P-140 as servers for Point of Sale terminals. I know that because i used to work for a company selling that type solution and i set up and shipped 2 RS/6K 43P's a week or sometimes more, with the occasional F50 or bigger box. After they buy the box, you buy service (read: support) from sombody and that eventually goes back to IBM, so i would say there is a lot of entrenched market share out there.

I just spent $300 on an Athlon 700 and $160 on a AMD 750 based motherboard (MSI K7-Pro (very, very nice board)), and it bar far outperforms my old system, very noticable (my old box was a 350...) -Casey
I go to the University of Texas @ Austin (Electrical &computer engineering) and they are doing the same thing. The entire campus is closed to almost everyone, and you have to get authorization from the campus police and administration to be on campus. They say its because they are cutting off utilities to all buildings except where vitally necessary. They even have recomended (because of no ventilation) that if your servers are going to get hot, just turn them off.

If you want to revert back to a PalmOS image, like the 3.3 that just came out, you could follow the instructions as if you interupted the image transfer. It basically puts the palm in a debug state that just sits and waits for an image to be uploaded, the upgrade to 3.3 has full instructions on hoe to do this.
