AIX Forum Needed!


Jeremy and all others who moderate this great website,

I suggest adding a forum for AIX. This is a very intricate os and one that has many similarities to other unixes, but enough differences to promote adding a forum for people who have questions about doing different things with it...and configuring it to do bigger and better things!

Thanks for your consideration.

Well, first off. This is a Linux, website, not an AIX website. And second, AIX would have to pledge official support, and why would they when doesnt it have its own support?

Thanks for the reply caeda...I think AIX could fall under a *ix variant and has a large following among IBM'ers and non-IBM people...particularly since IBM is moving to linux now!!!

Also, having its "own support" isn't necessarily a requirement for a forum here.

regards

The rule you are referencing only applies to distro forums. Sun does not participate (at least not officially) in the Solaris forum for instance. An AIX forum is currently being considered. Thanks for the suggestion.
