Hi all,

I have another weird question: Can I install YDL on an AIX? I have read 
the install instructions for AIX but the machines it mentions are only 
the old to ancient boxes (F50). I have a p610 at the office (we put it 
into an empty office and closed the door because the thing is so noisy), 
which we got from IBM to 'play around' with - aka 'evaluate'.
Well, we have already established, that this thing is ultra-slow with 
it's single 450 MHz Power-3 processor, running AIX 4.3.3 and we would 
like to run this under Linux and put some load on it. I will probably 
put a postgresql database on the thing and see how it performs. Our 1.2 
GHz P-III, running RedHat 7.3 (costs are $3000) runs rings round that 
p610 (costs are $18K) and I'm trying to find out if it's the OS or the 
hardware which is so slow. YDL being closely modeled after RedHat should 
give me some clearer indication of what the hardware is capable off.

Any idea if I can get YDL installed on that box?

Best regards,
Chris
